worldangel 0 Report post Posted October 2, 2009 Yup I experience this as well. At first all my tile price is based on $3 psf. But when I choose my tiles, the tiles for the toilets are only $2.40 psf so I asked my contractor to requote me based on this price psf. However, only a difference of $50 to $100 for me, cos the area involved not that big Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
