Dear Mrcontractor, Appreciate your advice so far.. really helpful! Back to the topic of tiling, my contractor has quoted me a lump sum of $3,375 to lay homogenous floor tiles for living and walkway. I was quoted based on S$2 to S$3 per sqft tile. He told me that he would only rebate if the tiles I choose fall below S$2 per sqft. Is this an industry practise? That means it would make more sense for me to select tiles at the 'upper' limit say S$3 per sqft or so to make it worth the price? I have not been given any restrictions on tile suppliers. Hope you could advise me as it is also the same for my toilet tiles as well... By the way, mine's a 4 room BTO. Hear from you soonest! Thank you in advance Jon
