More pics. The orange in one pic just the safety tape.

what happened to the coving? ask the builder to explain and rectify if that's what was contracted and hope you haven't paid until you're satisfied with results

It has been coved well apparently- swirly pattern. I'll try taking better pics of it later today.

Best to get your terminology right before speaking to your builder. A coved concrete finish has nothing to do with the edge treatment, but is the final, swirly, finish made by hand on top of the slab to give it more traction.

That is what I understood about the coved finish I.e.it is the swirly pattern.
Any thoughts on the side sections and edging?

Hi R.I

Having concreted for sometime now, there's a couple of things you need to consider and most of it you will find in the BCA (building code of australia) ..firstly measure the depth of the finished concrete ,is it to Standard.. whats the standard in your state ?

if the depth is less... there's just one point to consider and bring up..

but yes you may have some concern as these weak points will eventually crack. the finish is a concern,but if you have a good relationship with your builder or concreter he should rectify this..

Good Luck

Hi Andrew,
Thank you for your input.

It is meant to be 100 mm depth concrete- paths and driveway. Does that mean it should be 'nice and solid' 100 mm thick at all visible edges/side on view vs the irregular nature of this?

And how could it be rectified? When I questioned it- the response was 'it'll be covered by landscaping'! The latter bein not true as some areas are raised above future grass or pebbles.
