The slab is a Waffle Pod slab as you can see with the Polystyrene blocks everywhere. A Waffle Pod slab is where the concrete is sitting on a series Polystyrene blocks set out in a grid pattern. The advantage of a Waffle Pod slab is that it lies above the surface, as opposed to traditional foundations, which are dug into the earth. This type of slab offers cost savings as site preparation is much simpler than traditional concrete slabs and there are significant savings in the amount of concrete used.
Notice the pink X markings on the last photo. This is marking the sewer line underneath the slab.
