I need to remodel a small bathroom into handicap accessible wet room. My contractor said in order to accommodate drainage in a small room a floor has to be elevated by 2 in. The whole idea of a wet room for me was no threshold - I can't even step over my lower than 2 in threshold of existing shower. Is it true about raising the floor for making a slope?

The floor doesn't have to be elevated exactly, If you aren't going to elevate it you can slope it to the drain. 1:100 fall to the drain is usually adequate and may be increased to 2:100 for very high output power showers.
