floor tile / paving stone
or slab! Unless you've actually seen this property and know exactly whether this is tiles or paving stones or anything else (!) I always tend to stick to something safe like flooring which would cover all of these. Or you could ask the client if they've seen what the flooring is...

: "Slab" is the standard industry terminology and refers to the entire (concrete) floor slab (not individual paving-type slabs).

This is a property lease not a construction industry document.
I bet that all the floors are concrete slabs yet they also use the word \"plancher\" which undoutedly has its origins in wooden flooring, though \"plancher\" now generally means the floor between two floors... so if we translate \"plancher\" as floor shouldn\'t we do the same for \"dalle\"?

I'm assuming the capacity of your "dalle de RdC" is higher than the others, which would tend to imply it IS a ground slab, which is also what the French tends to mean, "sauf précision".
NB <<ground floor. The floor which is nearest ground level. A concrete ground floor can be a ground slab or suspended ...>>
