I build in Australia and love these threads as it shows the differences in how we build.
Down here concrete slabs require a sand base and a plastic liner under the concrete. We have to use "bar chairs"to hold the mesh up, no bricks allowed!!
The rebate/step around the edge of the slab is a lot bigger than what is shown.
We have to put foam around any pipes penetrating the slab.(This allows the concrete to move and not affect the pipe.)
NOT picking just find it interesting the differences. Good luck with the build!!
