How do I step the slab down in wet areas?

Hi

 

I have a couple of wet areas that are quite large so want to step the foundation down to allow for the screed and adjust the fall/slope.

 

I have usually taken the path of letting the engineer detail what is needed but would like to know the best way to achieve this in the foundation plan that I send to him...

 

I have tried lowering the floor level in the bathrooms concerned but a cross section looks hideous....

 

Can anyone point me to a video or tutorial that shows the best way?

 

Thanks

Assuming you are referring to stepping down the foundation wall?
