My unit with 67sqm was ever quoted around 2.5k for tiling those rooms (excluding kitchen and toilets) but without hacking cost as mine has no tiles...

santav 0 Report post Posted August 6, 2009 Which contractor and what tiles r u using? hahaha...i wouldnt recommend my contractor cos they are very slow....i gotta chase them everyday for progress and even have to tell the boss sacastically that at the rate they are going.....how not to lose $$$$$...his workers are simply not productive.... anyway, i'm using prc made homo & porcelein tiles bought from gallery-t at macpherson. i find their tiles design are more current & updated. price wise, comparable to balestier area shops. you can check out ceramic world (white horse) tiles at sugnei kadut. their prices are also reasonable however their design are limited.
