Default new concrete floor

I am planning to have the ground floor of a small terraced house
(about 100 years old) dug out and replaced by a concrete slab (with
dpm and insulation). One builder has suggested that instead of a
screed finish he could put a 25mm layer of insulation on top of the
concrete and then put a floating chipboard floor on top of this. He
reckons this could be done immediately after the concrete has been
laid, but I am concerned because I cannot see how the concrete would
be able to dry out. Can anyone give me any advice on this? Many
thanks.
