Thanks for your reply boss. I have not engaged a contractor yet, so will definitely be contacting you once the site is close to ready for viewing.

Your prices above include removing of old tiles as well? The area is around 1,500 sq ft and has existing tiles.

Thanks.

Thanks. Honestly, I didn't know this was possible.

Will discuss and see if this can be done at my place. I still find it quite amusing that tiles are actually the cheapest part of the work. It's the workmanship that will determine if you blow your budget or not.

Great advise. I've yet to discuss with my potential contractors about this though.

Is this something which you've already at your place? If you have, were you happy with the outcome?

It could probably work in my case, but I have the following concerns (listing it down here so that I remember to ask contractors later):

1. How much height would this add to the existing flooring? I'm adding plaster ceiling as well so will this make the space look/feel smaller?
2. How to deal with the current floor skirting which uses the existing tiles? Possible to hack just the skirting or just cover?
3. How to deal with areas that have a step down feature? i.e. bathrooms and kitchen (which I plan to use the same tile and same level as the rest of the space). Will there be a need to raise the floor of the step down areas?

I'll do some research and see if anyone else faced the same concerns above.
