Passive Slab cost;
A house with external perimeter measurements of 10m x 15m requires 50 linear
meters of Passive Slab ring-beam costing €27.50 inc Vat/m (€1,375) and 300mm of
insulation under the floor costing €27.50 inc Vat/m2. Passive Slab ring-beam
elements aren’t required for internal rising walls, the slab is just thickened.
Compare this with traditional rising walls @ €25/linear meter = €1,250 for 50 meters
of external walls plus 35m of internal rising walls comes to €875 which totals €2,125
for the traditional method versus €1,375 for the passive slab ring-beam elements.
Passive Slab reduces the amount of concrete required for foundations by 50% so
that’s a further saving of €1,500. Passive Slab is much quicker because you only
need to pour concrete once so there’s a further saving in labour of 25%.
So taking all these things into consideration a Passive Slab saves over €3,000 on a
150m2 foundation and performs much better than the traditional method. Faster,
Cheaper, Better!
