Slab poured

I was at work today when I got our second invoice which is due once the slab has been poured. I called up the accounts to find out why I got this invoice to which I was told that the slab engineer has confirmed that slab has been poured today. Called up our Site supervisor who also confirmed that the slab has been poured. So we decided to pay a visit to the site in the evening.

During piering there was no fence set up at the site and I had raised this with the SS and this had now been put up. The fence prevented us from going too close to the slab but we were able to make out footprint of the house. The area where the entrance, garage and alfresco will be are slightly less elevated and we could clearly make them out. The footprint of the house didn't look that big and we tried to guess the approximate location of wet areas from the waste stacks that we protruding out from the concrete slab. We spent some time looking around on neighbouring blocks. There was an Eden Brae home behind us who did the excavation and piering before us but there slab had still not been poured.

We noted that some of the soil from excavation for slab had been dropped into neighbour's block. I pointed this out to the SS who said that he had noted this as well and would get this fixed once the external drainage is completed. We will again visit the site on Friday and by that time the external drainage should be completed as well.
