@wrb7878 - That's what i thought too..i'm still on lookout for other contractor. Mine is a condo, and contractor was telling me that it will cost slightly more. Can you PM me ur contractor details?

Thanks!

Hi, I have an indon contact who can do tiling work at RM 2.50 per sq feet (labour only without hacking prev tiles)..
his work is good..you can check this website for some of the work he has done (i helped him do a simple website, still under construction)

No pic of tiles uploaded yet but can see his other work finishing..
The kitchen cabinet pic is at my house which he also did..
You can call me @ 016-301 3936..i'm helping him manage customers..
This guy are based in Puchong, so anywhere in Klang Valley should not be a problem for them..

wow...is that true this is workmanship from indon guy?look just superb..he must be indon grade AAA..hehe

Well, the design for the work not done by him la of course..hehe..but the workmanship is by him with co-ordination among his buddies..which I would say is pretty good..
i will upload more pictures of work done by him for my house this weekend..

Did this Indon worker work for you? So if he charge $2.50 psf then how much is your upcharge? I want to do car porch tiling (cement render now) 22'x22', how much will that cost me? Did your indon worker also do painting? Want someone good paint my house 22'x65'.

Finally I decided and pull the tiles job from existing contractor and pass to other tiles specilist.

Reason been
1) SInce my leaving room is replacing 2 x 2 tile, hence can't relay on top of existing 1 x 1 tiles either short or long term
2) Possiable of foot injury as the 2 x 2 edge designed was 90 degree type and no rounding egde protected, whereby 1x1 or 1x2 have a round edge. So if unbalance on the surface work it may injury our leg when walk.
3) Difficult to get balance if laying on top on the exisitng tiles with 2 x 2 (refer item 2), hence hacking away is a better solution
4) mixed of existing tiles area and new area

Also, the labour on this tiles specilist (I didn't told me the cost I been charge) is much more cheaper compared to existing contractor which charge me RM 5.50 sf for Wall / Floor, and skarting was RM 3.50 sf for in house / RM 3.80 for car pourche, if hacking involve will charge differently. Example hacked of existing 600sf area he want additional RM2K.
The tile specilist charging is RM4.50 sf for lay tiles and RM 6.50 for area that require hack existing tile out and replaced it and nd skirting is RM3sf. (Price included everything like material / rubbush ...exclude tiles)

I may be like a sucker pulling the work out from the contractor, but some time just need to ensure we pay $$$ is a good reasoable way lol

Why need to charge u so expensive for hack and removed the 600sf? unless is condo ...but still consider expensive.
May i know you use the tiles skirting? he charge rm3 per-foot-run?

I m waiting for my contractor to quote me on condo job...around 600sf area too.

The labour cost (chinese workers) that I received is

a) RM3.20 per sq feet for 2 feet x 2 feet tiles
b) RM2.50 per sq feet for other dimension of tiles
c) RM2.00 per sq feet for other dimension of tiles that not required cement base

All the materials I bought myself...Hacking prev tiles is RM80 per 100 sq ft...Skirting is RM1.90 per sf...

Is the price ok? or can I get cheaper price (chinese workers) than this?

thanks

Can i get the contact no. for this chinese worker? TQ

Bro,
It is existing contractor which want to charge me additional 2K if I want to removed existing tiles. and the tile specilist charging RM2 for sf, hence cheaper RM800.
Yes, RM 3 sf for skiring which also cheaper 80 cents compared to initial contractor.

Today they start hacking my area, and almost 3/4 of exisitng floor tiles been removed and non on existing wall tile broken at all (Kitchen area)...suppressing to me, which even previous contractor indicated problem / issues since never happen at this stage.

Can pm me his contact number? Thanks.

Cheers

I can give you contact number but I can't promise that you can get the same price or not...and he will start doing my whole house tiling this week and I don't believe he manages to accept any job at the same time because he will do the task by himself...Let me ask him first...will get back with you all later...

the contractor tell me hack labour is base on /sq ft .... follow the market price how much for hack and remove the rubbish ????

Does it make sense to have plumbing companies do bathroom reno?

In my case to hack and disposed rubbish from condo rm2/psf.
So if included the 6.5psf to lay new 2x2 tiles....it almost 8.5psf for condo job.

after he has done ur house, can share with us how's the work?
i also need to find chinese contractor for tiling job, but not so soon.. thanks
