Any other experts here to comment on it? I again had a chat with the builder, and he said he would apply some kind of anti corrosion solution on top of that exposed steel. Regarding the exposed polystyrene pod, he said that it was normal and wouldn't be an issue as the brick wall is going to cover it anyway. Am I panicking too much for no reason? Firstly, I can't see any cross wires so it is not mesh that is exposed but a rebar placed on top of the mesh. The reason for rebar is that engineer wanted to reinforce that secion of the slab with bar on top of the mesh. This is an engineering issue and builder should get engineering opinion and solution and certification to this problem. On another note, this is just a start of your build and both exposed polystyrene and rebar are workmanship quality issues. You need to stand your ground or builder may think you are a pushover and not try to do better.
