New homes and townhouses
Slab and footing design for residential projects where soil class, levels, loads and construction staging affect the foundation strategy.
Concrete, Footings & Slabs
Concrete slabs, footings and foundations matched to the site.
Linfinity Engineering designs practical concrete, footing and slab systems for new homes, townhouses, extensions, basements and site-specific residential structures.
We coordinate slab and footing design with soil information, levels, retaining walls, basements, drainage, loads and buildability so the foundation package fits the project rather than a generic detail.

Service Fit
Good fit when foundations need more than a standard detail
Concrete and footing decisions should respond to soil information, site levels, excavation, retained boundaries, basement interfaces and the building loads above.
Renovations and extensions
Footing and slab details for additions, new walls, steel supports, existing-structure interfaces and altered load paths.
Basement structures
Concrete elements coordinated with basement walls, retaining interfaces, drainage, excavation and foundation conditions.
Site-aware foundations
Foundation advice informed by geotechnical data, surveys, slope, fill, nearby structures and practical construction constraints.
Deliverables
Typical concrete and foundation outputs
- Concrete slab and footing design for residential building work
- Reinforced concrete details for beams, walls, pads or basement elements where required
- Foundation coordination with soil reports, levels, loads and site constraints
- Details for extensions, steel supports, retaining interfaces and altered load paths
- Documentation suited to approval, pricing, certification and construction
Melbourne Support
Based in Camberwell, working across Melbourne.
Linfinity Engineering supports homeowners, builders, architects and developers across metropolitan Melbourne and wider Victoria by arrangement.
Process
From site information to a foundation package that can be built.
01
Review soil, survey and drawings
We review architectural drawings, geotechnical or soil information, feature survey, levels, loads, site photos and known constraints.
02
Resolve the foundation approach
We select slab, footing and reinforced concrete details that respond to the structure above and the ground conditions below.
03
Document the concrete details
The outcome supports permits, builder pricing, site setout and certification with clear slab, footing and concrete notes.
Common Questions
Questions before you send drawings or site details.
Send the project context
Upload drawings, site photos, surveys, reports or a short note about what you need. Linfinity will review the scope and respond with the right next step.
Start an EnquiryDo I need a soil report before slab or footing design?
A soil or geotechnical report is commonly needed for residential footing and slab design. Linfinity can advise what information is appropriate for the project stage and scope.
Can you design slabs and footings for townhouses?
Yes. Linfinity designs slab and footing systems for new homes, duplexes, townhouses and multi-unit residential projects where the site information supports the scope.
Can concrete design be coordinated with retaining walls or basements?
Yes. Basement slabs, retaining wall interfaces, footing loads and drainage constraints can be coordinated together so the structural package is more buildable.
