Beyond this, clever layout design is important. It's hard to put on paper (tried to sketch this out for someone else recently). Essentially your slabs should always be laid out to not be floating without hitting the next slab perpendicular to it. So if you are looking into a shower, the main wall (biggest pieces) that is free standing should be put up first, with the two perpendicular walls now holding those slabs JUST in case. Your lightest slabs are the freestanding ones. Ceiling slab sits on 2 or ideally 3 slabs below. Of course this isnt always possible, so you can pin or bolt after a certain height, rarely does anyone do this (where I work at least).
