To me that just means you end up with a concrete slab which is smooth (steel floated) or rough, perhaps with a brushed finish.
Anything on top of that, like blocks, is extra.
The guy that gave you that quote is going to do minimal digging, chuck in some old bricks and cat food tins and throw over 2 inches of concrete when you are out. It will then crack the first time Travis Perkins deliver some building material in a heavy truck or the frost gets to it. dl
