Possible cold bridging at doorway?

Hi all - I've just had a kitchen extension build handed back to me to complete the painting & tiling, but as the plaster dries the concrete gap in between the skins at the door won't completely dry and I'm worried I've got cold bridging (although I know very little about it). The concrete isn't ...
