Friend of mine is having a house built by David Weekly Homes (huge builder.)

He was expecting to get a garage floor like this:
http://www.rondarling.name/pics/v/rondarling/mynewhouse/IMG_8954.JPG.html

and now has this:

The ledge you see is 10" on the far end and 14" on the other.

There is not going to be a wall on that ledge - the garage was to be part car
parking, part work shop with a 'small step' between the 2 to keep car gunk (like
snow) from invading the work space.

The builder currently is not going to change it.

10" is a bit of a step. I am wondering if it isn't a code violation, which
should compel the builder to do something.

Anyone have any advice?

Another 4" of concrete would be a simple cure. Taper off at the entrance.
