(OP)
Are there any advantages of staggering the top and bottom matt reinforcing in a suspended slab? I've seen it done this way but can't really visualize how this is better. It seems much harder for setting up the rebar chairs.

The current climate of the industry in my region has labor at a premium, to be optimized at the expense of all other parameters.
