Hi,
we slowly have to deal with our least favorite trade, tiles!
The contract with our general contractor includes tiles including installation in the format 60*30 and 30 €/sqm. The ones we have now chosen cost 38 €/sqm, ok, it’s 50 sqm with an 8 € surcharge. Ok, that’s fine.
Now the tiler suddenly wants 20 €/sqm plus VAT, so 24 €/sqm surcharge, because the tiles are longer, namely they have the format 90*22 cm.
I find that quite excessive. I understand that the tiles require a bit more effort during installation and he wants a bit more money, but is it really 20-30 minutes extra work per sqm?
Can that be true? Seems quite a lot to me...
I’m seriously considering replacing the tiles in the kitchen and pantry with parquet...
Best regards,
Andreas
