Screed on split level floor

[mcampster]

We have just dug out our basement, with a split level where one area is 600mm above the other. We plan to put a glass balustrade up to partition the two areas apart.

The 2 concrete slabs have been laid, and now the cavity membrane is on, but how will they pour the screed? Do I need to do some shuttering? Or is there something else someone can suggest?

A builder suggested that the screed might just crumble if it went right up to the edge before dropping off.

I guess this is no different to screeding a landing area upstairs. How do you go about this?

Are there going to be steps where there is a change in levels?

What is happening with the 600mm visible chunk of vertical floor?

There will be time steps leading up. But the remaining vertical will be plastered and finished with a bannister rail.
