The foam on the face of the slab is to be bricked. They simply burn or smash the foam to reveal the void. Personally, it was a crappy job on my alfresco and I chipped it all off and rendered it. Stupid idea with waffle slab.

Hopefully if the weather remains good, next 4-6 weeks you will be able to see the external structure of the house. Thanks Vin. Frames will arrive soon, but in the mean time the next thing they plan to install is the external drainage. How's your house coming along? Haven't seen any new pictures on your thread for a couple of weeks.

Steve is correct, the foam you can see is used to form a rebate in the drop edge beam for brickwork under the porch and alfresco slab. The foam has been subsequently removed. It looks reasonably neat at the front porch but the alfresco is a bit crappy... the foam moved during the pour and the concrete lines are crooked.

It'll be fine, the bricks in the rebate under the alfresco slab are mostly cosmetic. Hi all, We are looking to build a new two storey house in western Sydney.
