Interestingly, in terms of volume (as you can see by the pictures) the slab itself will be mostly polystyrene. I guess it saves on concreting costs, particularly as the slab only really needs thick where it needs to support the weight of the house - that's around the perimeter where the outer walls will be.
The other piece of work that is obviously done is the laying of pipes that go under and/or through where the slab will be poured.
Underneath the slab, a layer of think plastic has been laid down, which I presume is the termite barrier.
All good progress and,fingers crossed (weather permitting), our slab will be poured in the coming week.

| 'Let yourselves out'... I presume that says something about supervision... |

| Yep, I get the impression that not a lot of supervision is going to take place |
