why would a contrator have have the forms put up first and then framw the floor joist system of top of the forms before any concrete has been poured ? the finished floor joist package pulled back and the concrete poured into the form hollows – then the fllor joist assbly. pulled back into plqce a common 2×10 nailed as a bottom sill board and a cavity box made on the joist assbly. subsequently filled with concrete up to 3 inch level. I am totally perplexed.
