More pictures bro. Wanna learn how it is done.

Need to go that far meh? One pallet is about one ton right. Got mine at salak south, but is blueris, is defiantly more expensive, about 100 more, but I only use 1/3 pallet for my 120sqft, for entire double stories ground floor maybe only need 3 pallets.

after marking, cut the marble slabs into sizes that fit one another and arrange them.

The marble cutting tools is very old school right. No need electric no motor. Just big heavy scissor.

They put cement at the bottom just like tiles?
What about the grooves between the slabs?

White cement.

no, they use motor to cut, like picture below:

i go back to my home town almost every week, so not far for me.
you are right, the factory make wrong culculation for me (may be purposely did so), said 1 pallet good for 150 to 180sqft, so i bought 3 pallet for 500 sqft. just now went to the site, looks like i have at least 1 pallet extra, damn. sales!!!!!

Mine was very old school, use the mechanical heavy scissor like cutter.

is the edge sharp / in straight line by using heavy scissors?

When I watch those angmoh renovation and ID shows on TV, I see the way they lay tiles not like us.
Ours have to hack the whole floor up and pour new cement for the tiles. The ones on TV I don't see any hacking and they use this white something. All done very neatly and clean unlike our ways of laying tiles.

Is this the same white cement you'd mentioned above? I asked some contractors and they say it's some kind of special glue. Expensive but it's good.

Ok I just read the post again and you probably talking about white cement for the grout.
This also brings up another question. My floor tiles grouting all turn dirty looking after less than a year but my shower area, the white grouting remains as white as day one. This is on both wall and floor. Since this area gets wet everyday, I'm surprised that it didn't turn black and I see no mold. While other tiled areas all dirty looking. Could it be different quality grouting been used?
