In some cases you can lay a row of blocks on there flat leaving a cavity between the house and block. Then you lay the slabs over the top over the block and cavity. Hence not bridging the dpc of the house. This is a nhbc approved method and exceptable

I would not advise you go above dpc! In order to finish below you would need to remove more soil.
