Pods, steel, membrane and beam trenches, checked while every one of them can still be seen and measured.

On Werribee slabs the most serious items are about what the engineering asked for and did not get: pods left whole where they should have been cut, internal beams narrower than 110mm and a garage edge beam with its mesh laid in the wrong place.

A day is often enough, but tell us as soon as the concreter has a date. Pour days move with the weather.
Most items, such as missing chairs or a torn membrane, are fixed within hours. Larger ones, such as uncut pods, may push the pour back a day, which costs far less than a slab built wrong.
The beam width is part of how the engineer designed the slab to resist movement in reactive clay. A beam squeezed by a shifted pod is not the beam on the drawing.
We note what is visible at the slab stage, such as collars and the vapour barrier around penetrations, and record anything damaged or missing.
Your lot engineering first, then AS 2870 and the slab provisions of the ABCB Housing Provisions.
Yes, with the supervisor's agreement. It is a good chance to see your slab before it disappears.
