Oct 23, 2015 at 15:46 comment added AndyT @Menna - And as hazzey has said, "it will be impossible to estimate any thicknesses". The thickness of a slab, i.e. its design, depends on the loads coming down onto it - the magnitude of the loads, their spacing etc. Suffice to say that even if you manage to put in sufficient detail in this question to allow this design, none of us are going to do it for you! We might do enough calculation on here to design a simply supported beam, but not for complicated loads of varying types over a large area.
Oct 23, 2015 at 15:43 comment added AndyT @Menna - When you say the structure "varies from flat slabs, steel structure for wide spans etc." do you mean it varies between floors? Because all you need to care about for the numerical design of a transfer floor is the vertical loads coming down onto it. Hence slabs above, as horizontal surfaces, are irrelevant; as are the spans. What you need to worry about are columns and walls.
