or some type of minimum code requirement? And am I correct to assume that all the plumbing lines are under the concrete slab?

Yes, there are building codes for slabs.
All pipes should be under the slab and just poke through the slab. Sometimes pipe will be in the slab, but that should be accounted for by the engineers.
Is this residential or commercial?
You can Google the international residential code or international building codes for specifics.

Most residential concrete slabs are 4" thick with 24" - 30" beams/footings, depending on soil conditions. Your first floor sewer lines will typically run under/through the slab, along with any power/water lines that can't be routed through the walls/ceiling, (say a kitchen island with a sink/dish washer.)
