Can a house slab be built with a heated in-slab system?

Yes — hydronic heating pipes or electric heating cable can genuinely be embedded within a house slab, positioned and pressure-tested before the pour to confirm no leaks or faults before being covered in concrete.

This needs to be planned and coordinated with your hydronic or electrical contractor well before pour day, since it directly affects reinforcement layout and pour sequencing.
