Imagine the following.
A slab-on-grade prepared for casting, but not yet cast. Built with 'regular' 300mm edge elements in cellular plastic according to all the rules for a 10cm slab.
The casting is desired to be done "indoors" and therefore you would want to get the walls and roof up before casting the slab itself.
The idea is also to have a raised section with leca blocks so that the sill is not directly on the slab.
Is this feasible and how would you go about building the walls before casting the slab?

Since it's possible to lift houses and set them back using jacks, for example, to move the house or address issues with the foundation, it is obviously possible to fix this as well.
But it indeed becomes a lot of extra work, so the question is why you're eager to build walls & roof before casting the slab.
But set the edge elements and the entire form for the slab.
Then place some HEA beams here and there and prop them up a few cm above the L-edge elements.
And then build the house on the beams, gently caulking with something in the gap between the edge elements and steel beam.
And then cast and finish by using jacks to lower the house.
NOW I want to know why you're considering ... !!!

Why is my first thought.....
It's fine to proceed as you planned if, instead of the edge beam, you use leca/isoleca blocks for 2 or 3 courses; then, you can build the structure on that base and pour the slab inside the building, incorporating the elevation in the same process. You will have marginal or no reduction in insulation.
The elevation of leca (spolkant?) might be an issue in terms of insulation.
An advantage is that the construction becomes stronger than a typical edge beam since the masonry base is reinforced.
Another option is to use an albabalk, which also allows the building to be constructed first.

Hello
Thanks for the tips, no obvious simple solutions, suspected that
Why do something so crazy?
Well, it was about a concrete slab that is to be cast and covered with hard concrete, it's sensitive to lay and is best done "indoors". However, there are no plans to carry out this maneuver, it was mostly me pondering the possibilities.
As mentioned, a tent is the obvious solution.

I would say that depending on what you mean by the slab being "coated" with hard concrete, I would first cast a slab, then erect the frame and get the house sealed, then do an indoor pouring on the slab with hard concrete.

Post a sketch and I will come up with suggestions. When ordering, just mention that you need to be able to adjust the casting at short notice; it usually works. Machines needed for casting are a fallaser vibrostav or vibrobalk, shovels sloda, and helicopter. Preferably a large and a small one along with a rivbräde and a handstål. An asphalt rake can be good to have.
