Welcome!
If you have a 3.5" step down from the house to new conrete of the new room - and if the floor of the new room were brought up 3.5" it would make a 3.5" step to the backyard - this sounds like the new concrete is at the same level of the yard. This brings up several questions. How is water to be kept out of the enclosed patio. How is this enclosed patio going to be sided to provide ground to siding clearance? If now a subfloor is installed, what about whatever the edge of the subfloor is contructed of being at ground level?
From the info at hand, and not knowing more details - sounds like the concrete should maybe not be at the level house, but moreso than it is. Something like a 1" step down house to patio slab allowing at least some clearance then to the ground level.
What did the permitted plan call for?
