We built on a slab (standard inclusion). I imagine it would be an extra and not included.

How upset should I be at the state of the worksite? The cleaner has placed products and a radio all over the kitchen stone bench tops without any protection underneath.

I actually like your kitchen tiles! Once the grout and appliances are in and bench tops cleaned up it will all come together.
