the next project is coming up: tiling the garage.
The tile installer and I have already applied the leveling compound.
The plan was to start tiling on Saturday.
Today, I noticed for the first time that the slab at the front is curved.
The garage door is 4.50 m (15 feet) wide. The slab ends fairly flush with the door on both the left and right sides. Not exactly, but near the middle the slab protrudes almost 2 cm (0.8 inches).
What could be done to straighten the slab here?

The question might also be how to design the transition between the outside (paving?) and the inside (tiles). If there is a sufficiently wide transition strip (a small floor threshold with a seal under the gate), this might not be necessary.

The front will be finished with a stainless steel T-profile. At the top, it has 10mm (0.4 inches) and is flush with the tiles. At the bottom, it measures 65mm (2.6 inches) and creates a clean edge. In the end, it needs to be straight; otherwise, it will look uneven.
The area next to the garage will be paved, but about 1cm (0.4 inches) lower to prevent water from flowing in.
