That’s nuts. I can’t believe that there isn’t a better way of repairing a small hole in a concrete floor that doesn’t take months.
I’ll talk to the builder tomorrow. Might descope the tiling and have someone come back to do it. Ffs.
Dooks-Fatberg-
There are such things as fast dry screeds, may be worth investigating.

The operative phrase was 'a cheap cementitious screed'.
Your builder is probably proposing to mix up on site a simple blend of sand(s?) and cement because that's all he knows.
Other materials are available. -
Sheeting it is another option but you'll still need something underneath to take the shape if you went that route.

We had a thick screed put down here, took about 4 months to be dry enough to lay flooring on, we worked to 1mm a day for the first 50mm then 2mm a day for 50mm plus, so working on this 80mm would take 110 days to dry. Depending on the screed used, some need to be sanding if you are sticking some flooring to it.
