So the waffle pods as its called, is used to fill the void that would require less concrete pouring and in circumstances, where the house is old and need to be demolished in so called future when it has had its time, the slab will be easy to remove. But your Garage and Alfresco in many cases is made of hard concrete to support the weight of cars or if you put a jack under the car so it doesn't poke hole in the floor, as the weight is concentrated on one point.
