Hello,
we plan to build a 1.5-story house of about 133 sqm (1,432 sq ft) without a basement, approximately 9 by 10 m (30 by 33 ft).
When reading the construction specification (excerpt below), the slab on grade seemed very thin to me, as other providers offer slab thicknesses of up to 25 cm (10 inches).
Is the slab on grade as described sufficient?
Excerpt from the construction specification:
"Earthworks:
The topsoil will be removed to a depth of 30 cm (12 inches), and the excavated soil will remain on the property. The missing height will be replaced with frost-resistant material. Depending on geotechnical requirements, the foundation bedding will be increased up to 45 cm (18 inches). A separating layer of plastic sheeting will be installed on the frost-resistant material. Conduits for utility supply to the house connection room will be routed the shortest way to 50 cm (20 inches) before the exterior wall.
Slab on grade:
The slab will be constructed according to the drawing with a thickness of 16 cm (6.3 inches) using steel fiber-reinforced concrete of concrete quality C25/30. A grounding strip made of galvanized steel tape will be installed. An additional moisture barrier against ground moisture will be applied on top of the slab.
Floor:
The floor in the living areas is designed as a floating screed with perimeter strips on thermal and impact sound insulation. The build-up is as follows:
Ground floor:
approximately 85 mm (3.3 inches) thermal insulation (PS rigid foam, WLG 035)
PE foil
approximately 45 mm (1.8 inches) cement screed
If higher impact sound insulation requirements apply according to DIN, this will be adjusted."
Thank you very much for your help!

The construction specifications outline what is included in the price.
The thickness of the foundation slab and the corresponding excavation are determined based on the geotechnical report, so it is possible—and quite likely—that additional costs will arise.
16cm (6.3 inches) sounds very thin to a layperson like me.

16cm (6.3 inches) steel fiber reinforced concrete with a concrete grade of C25/30 .. steel fiber reinforced concrete at 16cm (6.3 inches) thickness is also problematic, since only steel fibers are used and no steel mesh reinforcement ... that makes a difference ... Dali schrieb:
