Why not go DRIcore for the subfloor. DRIcore allows drainage and airfloor below the floor, and a dry insulated surface above. At that point, why not use panda roll or mylar for the walls, not orange stuff (did you mean DITRA). Good luck. Do lots of research, do it right once.
 
I used 2 x 4's for framing, 3/8" thick cardboard for my walls and, coated it with black/white poly; total cost for a 6' x 9' room was under $200. Just make sure the cardboard isn't touching the floor.

yes dirta is what i was talking about.... and i would use the reflective material over what ever it is that i use wrap the walls with anyway..... so im gonna build a sub floor then frame the walls with metal studs and hang it all with MR drywall tape it then wrap it all in dirta ( inside ) then hang reflective on walls and boom lol im just hoping it can keep the damp air out .... and i say metal studs cause im a drywaller and i can get all the metal studs i need from work
