I am building a new house. I am going to hire to do some ceramic

Thanks

What do you mean by cement?

Backer board or green board choice depends on the application.


Instead of using backer board they lay cement down. Alot of the new
home builders do it. They say that there are less problems with tile
cracking as the housee settles. The cement follows the floor.

I have not heard of it. Are you sure they are not talking about thinset
mortar? In any case if it is concrete, the recommendation is to allow the
concrete to cure for at least a month. This might not be a problem for a
new home, but having a bath out of commission for a month could be a problem
for some people.
