What is the steel design for a flat slab of 5200mmX5200mm?

we are constructing a shop of 5200x5200mm and 3000mm high, with a steel rolling shutter of 4000mmx2700mm at the front and all the other walls with brick masonry of 200mm thick and no openings. we needed to design a two way slab for this shop. In future we may build another office room on top of this shop pls. help.

1. The steel design should be designed by a structural engineer, and have 2 factors to consider. The load and load locations being placed on the slab and the soil conditions on which the slab will sit. There is no real correct/safe answer to give you without this info. If you are doing this without permits (not recommended), know this, concrete is strengthened by steel placed in the lower 1/3 of the thickness, and more steel is better then not enough. It's your business shop, so I suggest making a smart business decision, get with and engineer.
