Sorry Martin but I have to call you out about moisture issues and concrete.

If there were moisture " issues " with concrete why is it used so much in residential ( and other types ) of construction.

If it has a moisture barrier in place and isn't subject to water runoff, there are no problems with moisture in concrete slabs.

If you have experienced moisture issues then most likely the person/s doing the work did not understand what is needed, perhaps they watched to many episodes of The Block?

I have a 3m dome, the timber floor level is about 800mm above a concrte slab that is dry, it has a moisture barrier installed as well has no surface water run off.
