Barrier, steel and set out, checked before any of it becomes permanent.
The slab carries the house, and its engineering lives in beam geometry, reinforcement, cover and a vapour barrier that is specified as continuous. On the Austral records behind this page the barrier was found with sections missing, which is the clearest example of a pre-pour item there is: seconds to tape, impossible to reach an hour later. Slab edges and rebates were recorded on the same run. Every photograph here was taken in Austral, roughly six kilometres north west of Edmondson Park and in the same growth corridor. We would rather name the suburb than let another job read as local.

It stops ground moisture rising into the slab and the floor covering above it. Specified continuous, a missing section is a hole in the thing that was specified.
Only the surface. Cover, steel, beam sizes and barrier all stop being verifiable the instant concrete is placed.
We follow the new date, at no extra cost.
An hour to ninety minutes on a standard lot, with the report out that evening because the truck arrives in the morning.
Yes. Trimming required at a shower recess was recorded on the Austral run, and a set down that is wrong at pour is expensive to correct at tiling.
