Insulation is placed outside to prevent mice and is distributed under the concrete slab for thermal efficiency. A vapor barrier and rebar grid are added for moisture control and support. Insulation panels are carefully cut around plumbing. Water is removed from the sump pit, and rebar is installed for stability. Final preparations include laying radiant tubing and form boards before pouring the concrete slab.
