if my house is currently underconstruction can i actually request the developer not to lay tiles on certain parts (eg: kitchen, toilets) in order to save the hacking costs if i'd like to lay my own tiles later?
heard dat some developer allow that & will even deduct the tile costs from the house price... not sure whether dis is true?
has anyone hav similar experiences?

i think there should be black & white..
i dun mind dey dun giv any discounts, at least i can save on hacking costs..
i'll try to enquire from my developer (Paramount) dis weekend & update u guys here


another unrelated Q:
are slate tiles generally expensive? compared to porcelain? considering to use them for my car porch & bathroom

confirmed with my developer Paramount
we can write to request (subject to mgt approval) them not to lay tiles in certain areas (eg, kitchen, toilet), or not to do tiles skirting (coz mebbe u wanna go for laminated flooring later)
however they wont return u the tiles & oso wont giv any discount on house price (some other developers do giv discount)
but u still save the cost of hacking anyway

yes dey will make the ground ready for tiles work.
but im in dilemma now coz heard dat Paramount oways givs nice & good tiles.. might be a waste to forgo them
i'll wait for the sample house to be done b4 i make decision, hopefully it'll still be in time..
