Good evening all,

I am in a dilemma and would like some advise from all sifu-sifu and veterans...

I just received a quote from my contractor, and apparently from what i gather from this thread (i read like 30% of it) the prices for tiling for Chinese workers is roughly below RM5/sqft (please correct me if i am wrong)

I would like to share my quotation with all sifu and veteran, please comment about this quotation as i am baffled by the price he is quoting me.

(1) to supply labour for laying wall tiles (2' x 1') up to 10ft high; total about 410sqft = RM4,100 (about RM10/sqft)
(2) to supply labour for laying floor tiles (2' x 2'); total about 168sqft = RM2,520 (about RM15/sqft)
(3) to supply labour for laying car porch tiles (2' x 1'); total about 550sqft = RM3,600 (about RM6.60/sqft)

I did a backwards calculation against my because he quoted me a lump sum price.

According to him, this price includes all materials excluding tiles, and the work is done by a chinese sifu.

Please advise as the pricing is baffling..

Thank you all in advance for your advise.
