When building reinforced concrete decks over an occupied space, you must consult a licensed structural engineer. Several factors including loads, waterproofing, steel reinforcement size and spacing, as well as anchoring details can only be done properly after an on-site inspection of your existing conditions. Furthermore, special attention is required to ensure that the deck doesn't leak into the shop below. Special additives may be required to the concrete, as well as embedded waterproofing membranes to ensure that moisture does not permeate the area below. This is definitely a job where professional engineering is essential to protect your investment. Builders Websource.
