In my case, i just ask my contractor to calculate based on floor plan, example 25 x 25 = 625sf even it have a lot divider wall in each living, kitchen and dining area.
and wall also included the window + door....no much diff..don't want so calculate with them...important they do the best job.

something just need give and take, because some area is more difficult to lay tiles.
Normally their also not so much calculated if you want them do extra things for you smile.gif

Hi edwardsiow, how was the workmanship? Are you satisfied with it? Can pm me his number as well?

Thank you


QUOTE(edwardsiow @ May 30 2011, 03:00 PM)
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

i recently did my car poach and kitchen using Goucera 1x2 2nd grade hard full body tiles....total around 1400sqft plus a kitchen table, total cost is about 6k - 6.5k, i bought the tiles, sands, cement, air susu, aluminium drain cover frame by myself, then, i engaged some indian workers or subcontractors to do the labors. Workmanship is quite good.

Labor only 2500 to cover an area of 1,400 sqft (including the side 3" tiles). I can forward u his number but he is active in Klang area plus heard they also doing up to nilai, shah alam area. My area is 1 hour from KL. The indians are local people and they did quite a lot of houses before i used them as recommended by many who has used them. before i used them, many people asked me why use indian and not chinese. Worry their workmanship no good. laugh.gif but u never use, u never know. Give me your number and i will sms his number to you.

Hi guys

I have a tiling contractor but he is only willing to supply labour. I have to source and supply the materials. I only need 10 bags or so of cement. What is the going rate of a bag of cement? Do they shop normally provide delivery? Thanks in advance

You need more that Cement, example: Adhesive / Susu, sand....

You better ask the contractor what he need and provide you a list, than you source around especially the pricing.

i bought mine at RM16.75 per bag for 20 bags (YTL brand) and was advised by my contractor that the YTL cement is not that good as it harden fast. Subsequently, i bought LaFarge cement at RM17.00 per bag as i still shortage of 6 bags.

Thanks for the feedback guys!

Now knowing that the price is around RM17, my other concern is do they provide delivery of the materials?
