yes, what would like to know - as you suggest its attention to detailing in planning and supervision at on-site stage that's important - its not rocket science - the traditional foundation/rising wall construction can be altered to provide the same thermal bridge free results. its all in the detailing, something with which alot of self-builders are currently taking short-cuts on
