Different bucket a wider one perhaps???

[Wazza]

Do they ever request stiffening beams across the corners of the slab to prevent them cracking ?....

[ianoz]

Yep , Bert ,You got it .The footing width changes from 300mm to 400 mm .Extra width is to support the patio .
Wazza , no extra beams in the corners ,but the trench mesh does have extra bars tied on the corners .When the floor is filled with sand thickening beams are dug though the sand and down 100 mm into the ground .
As use can see by this photo ,the ground got a bit nicer to dig in .

[ianoz]

This last one shows started geting into uncompacted fill .This means digging down to 300mm into natural ground .

Basicly , a lot of people go for these larger blocks and the houses tend to be larger .
