That framing is kind of effed up for the rough. Toilet is 12" from wall, ok, but needs 30" per code side to side. Which leaves 18" for vanity (can fit corner or wall sink, or maybe a small pedestal sink) and 35" for shower. Problem is shower drains are centered, so I don't know of a standard corner or square pan that will fit.

Walls should have been framed to selected fixtures. I'd probably move the walls before chopping concrete.

Make sure vent line(s) are plumbed all the way through roof. I've seen a few that were capped or left open in attic, when 'roughed only'

Edit: too bad floor was painted, would have had a better bond for tile if not.

No. Find and install a shower pan, and sink. Take those dimensions to a plumbing supply house and see if they can find something.

Then set the pan, prep for toilet flange, finish roughing the plumbing & electric (make sure you understand GFI & arc fault codes).

Cement board, rough inspections, sheetrock, fight with wife over paint and tile selections, paint, tile, trim, finish plumbing, finish electric, shower door, turn on water, fix leaks, final inspections.

Kind of funny when they do all that in a weekend on TV......
