Our 3300 sq/ft slab was poured the second week of April last year and we closed the third week of June. It was 100% built with sticks. Not a single pre-fabbed piece came on site other than the cupboards and built in entertainment center since they were built at the cabinet shop and delivered. Everything was stained after it was installed.

the only thing prefab'd on this house will be the ceiling trusses. Everything else will be built from scratch.
We don't have a foam option but we did go with a celulose insulation. I forget what the actual rating is with the cellulose... I want to say it was close to 30??? total guess.

Greek to me... LOL As far as I know they will lay down rebar and plastic throughout the foundation... I just wasn't up to speed on the terminology...
I'll be taking pictures daily and I will be sure to ask... but I am 99% positive that they will lay rebar in a grid much like the pic Ofer posted.
