You would lay timber floor joists acroos the the size would depend upon how high you need to raise the floor. Then you'd lay floor boards over the joists. the joists would be layed every 400mm and would require noggings to reduce movevement and 'creaking'. The floor boards should be of a tongue and groove type for the same reasons. The cheapest floor bords are made of chipboard and are 8' by 2' and they should be glued.
If you wanted to raise it a matter of a few inches then you could just screed over the top of it. If you wanted just a few mm then a self leveling liquid can be applied.

How do you raise a slab foundation?
Hire someone. This is not a do-it-yourself type of project. The contractor will essentially drill holes in the low parts of the foundation and pump a new concrete mixture (although it is not pure concrete anymore) underneath your current slab, which with enough pressure, will cause it to lift. You will have to have portions of the floor removed (whatever is on top of the slab) to get down to the slab however, so costs can add up quickly, unless you just have carpet everywhere (which is easy to remove and replace).
