sawyer 3 Report post Posted May 7, 2012 I'll be straightforward. Details can be provided later.I took up a reno package from a "reputable" reno firm.The package includes homogenous tiles.Hoping to get my facts right before i starts pointing finger.Laying of homogenous tiles i assume that sand is required? And who is supposed to provide the sand? The ID or some random person or who? Reason for saying is because the sand is provided by the haulage guy instead of my ID thru a fee. Im a newbie here can any old bird or ID/Contractor advise and explain to me? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lawry 3 Report post Posted May 7, 2012 You were told to pay extra for the sand?Everything should be included in the quotation. It would be ridiculous if they are itemised individually.What's next? Carpentry laminates not included?Painting pay extra for turpentine? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sawyer 3 Report post Posted May 8, 2012 Everything in inside as in, laying of 60 x 60cm homogenous tiles.But the absurd part is materials like cements, chemical adhesive to stick tiles is in, just that the sand is not.I didnt want to argue much because i got schedule to meet to move in, and didnt want to end up he doing a crap job for my reno.Im at a loss for words now.Once my reno is done, i will see if there is a need to reveal the company and ID details.

Maybe sand got more and more expensive, so they got to charge separately... haha, if not is it their tiles charge u super cheap? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

taichipanda 3 Report post Posted May 10, 2012 Everything should follow the reno quote you signed, unless otherwise stated separately; even for standard renovation package, there should be stated if haulage is included or excluded, if reno quote did not stated if haulage is excluded, then it should be included. The laying of wall and floor tiles should include the 2 types of sand (水沙&江沙), the cement and plaster compound for grout. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
