Depends on quality.
The cost of 2x2 porcelain tiles have a lot of range. If standard one, the 1x1.5 ceramic is about close to 1.5-2 times cheaper.
For such nice house n concept of newer dev or township, I believe dev should give standard 2x2 porcelain tiles. It doesnt cost much since the labour rate is same. Ceramic is old fashion, although good quality ceramic looks very nice and solid if the house is nicely design.
Not entire of the 1885 sq ft is needed for porcelain esp kitchen area, bathrooms and balcony ( if there is ) , I believe, it just requre additional RM 10k-15k for dev to convert all ceramic tiles to 2x2 porcelain tiles. Maybe dev get the ceramic tiles in bulk much more cheaper due to lesser demand?
If we have to convert ourselve as owner, the 2x2 tiles entire unit excluding spaces used for wall, kitchen n bathrooms, the tiles would cost us at least 420-450 pieces of 2x2 tiles and to include the labour costof ceramic tiles tearing n new tiles labour, which ultimately cost us RM 20-25k.
Any chances we can have a group request for upgrades packages for tiles? Normally developer can upgrades packages for power points, window types etc ... I don't see why there's a problem with tiles since mr2 is still in its early stage.The cost of 2x2 porcelain tiles have a lot of range.

2x2 tiles is pretty much the standard nowadays ... 1x1 gives the space a small feeling and cheap. For investment purpose, it definitely gives you the best bang for buck as u can flip @ better price/easier. For own stayer can save more job/hassle of renovation.
I'm not really active in forum, so I hope someone can start a group request.... Hopefully it materialize
