Rm 5 / sq ft? This is so depressing, a contractor quoted something like Rm 27 per sq ft. because he will ‘level the floor’ before laying the tiles. No old tiles, it is a new place with cement rendered floors. Does he mean the same thing as screeding? It sounds very similar, but even if it is not and the man is local, rm 25 different is very large, isn’t it? Pardon my ignorance, first time renovating a high rise apartment.
