September 22, 200917 yr Hi All, The following was stated in my quote: Supply and lay 300mm X 450mm ceramic wall tiles for kitchen ( Material for wall tiles $2.6psf ) Supply and lay 300mm X 450mm ceramic wall tiles for 2nos of toilet ( Material for wall tiles $2.6psf ) Supply & lay 300mm X 300mm non slip heavy duty homogeneous floor tiles for kitchen tiles ( Material for floor tiles $3psf ) Masonry Works Supply & lay 300mm X 300mm on slip heavy duty homogeneous floor tiles for 2 toilet floor tiles ( Material for floor tiles $3psf ) Supply & lay 300mm X 300mm on slip heavy duty homogeneous floor tiles for S.balony floor tiles ( Material for floor tiles $3psf ) Supply & construct concrete L-shape kitchen cabinet base with side tiling work But, the tiles we have chosen for wall tiles are all $2.20psf and for floor tiles $2.6psf. Is it possible to ask the ID to reduce the cost for the above-mentioned items, since we have chosen tiles at lower costs?? Any help is greatly appreciated.

September 22, 200917 yr Author You can try but not so much till they get a loss, anyway are you doing other stuffs under them as well? Yes. Doing all my tiling, carpentry, painting everything. I am employing an ID. Edited September 22, 200917 yr by gk1981
October 2, 200917 yr Of course can. for ex, if in the contract, you have signed for ex, $2.90 tiles, u have choosen $2.50, then you can ask your ID to offset the prices for u.
October 2, 200917 yr Yup I experience this as well. At first all my tile price is based on $3 psf. But when I choose my tiles, the tiles for the toilets are only $2.40 psf so I asked my contractor to requote me based on this price psf. However, only a difference of $50 to $100 for me, cos the area involved not that big

So, I am happy for now
October 11, 200917 yr usually the psf price given to us by the contractor for selection, does it include GST?
