One square meter is 10.7 square feet (according to google la https://www.google.com.my/search?num=100&si...hp.zx12-udN8wA)

So RM96/10.7, means bout RM9 Per square feet.
As I know, tiling (chinese) per sq is bout Rm2.5, Indo is about RM1.5 per sq.
So your tile price stay at RM9 minus RM2.5 = RM7.5 per square feet.
Which I think very expensive.
because one good 1x2 tiles cost bout RM7, even old batch cost bout RM5.5-Rm6.
So for ur contractor, to lay 1x2 tiles, it cost u about RM9x2 = RM18.
I think standard price is bout RM2.5 x 2 (2 square feet) + RM7 (1x2 tile) = RM12.
so means he might be earning extra RM6 on each 2 square feet on top of what he supposely to earned.

You try to ask him to quote you a price without tiles.
It is better you go to buy the tiles urself, normal contractor they wont buy big batch like 10K pieces, so the price wont be cheaper.
The tiles price is about same if u go to buy comparing ur contractor go to buy.
White Horse / Alpha / MML tiles u go to buy at their showroom / factory,
Feruni can buy at showroom or during homedec (OCT 2013).
Most of the companies include shipping, you not need worry bout transportation.

Don't forget he can quote u workmanship + tiles and then give u cheap quality china tiles (Although got high end china tiles).
