Starting with a thorough geotechnical report, having a proper foundation designed by a Structural Engineer, and having quality builders that understand the conditions and expectations is the best approach. If you want your slab on grade foundation to be polished, talk with your builder about how to achieve your goals. If you've got pier and beam with a concrete topping slab, you may be able to get more control there. A great concrete sub-contractor like Boothe Concrete is the best way to get what you want and work with you through the design process, collaborating with the builder and Architect from start to finish.
