Large Tiles , hollow spots . Help

So I recently had large 48x48 tiles installed. I had them install Schluter Ditra over the concrete slab and then the tiles were installed over the Ditra. I have a tap tool I used to tap the tiles and I'm finding what sounds like hollow spots. Is this a failed job or is this normal? What should I do ?
Any pros out there? Help please. will add link to video.

Quartz wall cladding ,large format tile floors help ? shower help please?

Please help? Curbless shower, floors walls

I have a small bathroom .I will be intstalling quartz wall cladding in the bathroom and shower. I also have large format tiles to be installed on the floors & shower floor. The curbless shower needs to be slopped per inspector .The shower is not very big . Option 1# in order to have the quartz installed ontop of the tile there will need to be a one inch perimeter of tile around the shower pan for the quartz to sit flush onto the floor(perimeter) ,says my contractor . The other option 2# is installing the quartz walls first then butting the large tiles up against the quartz walls. The original plan was floors first which seems to me the way to go . The contractor is in favor of quartz walls first but Im not convinced thats the best way . I need professional advice please .. any pros here ?
