soojin 0 Report post Posted June 8, 2008 The guy only supply sand and clear your debris. Cement your own contractor will buy together with the tiles. For the quote, I suggest u see the whole package cost. Coz the cost can shift here and there de, this one cheap, the other expensive. Few quotes I got for 4rm 97m2 ranges from (Laying tiles + haulage) $4.7k to $5.3k Mine is 94m2, got one quote for 4.2k (max up to $3.50psf) and another for 5.2k (max up to $3psf). Although I suspect the ID who gave the lower quote isn't aware that my is a new estate although I'm sure I mentioned it in passing. Perhaps he didn't take into account the sand and manpower cost from main con. Will wait for my other quote for comparison. I also realised parquet can be cheaper than tiling in some instances, and it's tempting to simply parquet the whole house. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

soojin 0 Report post Posted June 8, 2008 Any one else mind sharing their tiling cost for living/dining and 3 bedrms for 94m2? Also, can anyone help me with the total area to be tiled for the above? Not too sure of my calculation. The ID who gave me the low quote stated approx 650 sq feet, that seems a little low right? I'm wondering whether that's the reason for the lower cost.

']you may want o chk on the pricing of parquet PSF, I think there is also a need to rise the cement up so that it level perhap can ask around and see how.

You mean get sand from contractor instead of supplying their own sand, difference so much - 1k?? Cause the lower quote includes sand supplied already, just that not from main con.

hihihi 0 Report post Posted June 8, 2008 soojin it's more accurate to add (supply and install tiles) + (haulage fee). They should be added together to be the total tiling works cost. O/T: of coz those fridge base, cabinet base will be counted as additional charges. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cause the lower quote includes sand supplied already, just that not from main con. I was listening to one of the contractor he was explaining on the tile after which he mentioned abt the sand which is another $1k on top of the estimate he gave. so i guess is that 1k is for the sand. i am not so sure abt the main contractor thingy you may which to chk it out Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
