Talk with your concrete guy and tell him your plans and concerns.
I'm glad I did, I assumed some things and was wrong.
Read up on vapor barriers, touchy subject but you get to decide not the contractor.

I cut control cracks on my floor with a skill saw and would never again.

rent a walk behind or pay someone to do it.
Good luck, keep us informed !
