When the house was designed, we didn't really know we'd be doing in the master bathroom, and later we decided we wanted an open shower area with a sloped floor. Normally, to do this, the floor in the shower area is built lower than the rest of the floor and then built up to create a slope, but at this point, in order to do this, we would have to trim the floor joists, curt the floor out in the shower area, and re-build that part of the floor--a change that requires revision of the building plans and approval from the Building Department. We decided we didn't want to go through that process and do the additional construction, so we decided to build up the rest of the floor around the shower.
First we installed 1/4-inch plywood on top of the subfloor in the entire bathroom except for the shower area, and 1/4-inch cement board will go on top of that. That will give us enough of an elevation difference for the water the drain properly.
