Where I live, a new display village is being contructed and one of the builders has laid an approx 650mm high slab. Thoughts? My E slab was around 500mm high and used 375mm waffle pods, which I thought was huge at the time. Any idea how this slab would have been contructed? Curious because I have never seen one that big.

The height from the vapour barrier to the surface of the slab is approx 650mm. See pic.
