sorry but i dont understand how this works, is there no slope towards the drain? I would assume there is, and therfore would need to be enveloping?

Yes slope built into former.

Yes slope built into former.

So then the tiles should be sloped aswel, wen the water lands on the tiles it should be sloped to the drain?,,...(me = confused)

[charlie1]

You need to see the 2nd video for the tiling part.

AFter ply, as long as there is no movement and all joints are supported, I always tank with dura wp overlapping tray by 100mm and up base of wall. Then lay ufh on mebrane and tile. If the ply is solid then I don't think the 6mm board is necessary. I also seal all edges and underneath of ply prior to fixing in case of residual moisture later (many plumber now use speedfit running under the floor and the have a habit of failing). Not had any problems so far.

Oh, and don't forget to check the levels of floor, ideally everything running slightly to shower, definitely no fall to walls or corners.

As above, the floor prep sounds good. I would also have the underside and edges of the ply sealed sealed and tanking the floor would be a must. I also have to agree with Mike, these do not sound like a good choice of tile for the installation. Maybe raise that with the customer/builder?
