Dear forum members,
I have purchased an apartment from a developer. The standard specifications are already quite generous (e.g., tiles in the size of 60x60cm (24x24 inches) as standard).
However, I have now chosen even larger tile formats. Do you consider the following additional charges for installation to be reasonable (pure labor costs, additional charges for other items are separate):
- Extra charge for laying floor tiles 80x80cm (32x32 inches) instead of 60x60cm (24x24 inches): EUR 22 plus VAT per sqm (square meter)
- Extra charge for laying large format wall tiles 120x240cm (48x96 inches) instead of 30x60cm (12x24 inches): EUR 93 plus VAT per sqm
We are talking about approximately 19sqm (204 sq ft) of flooring and 35sqm (377 sq ft) of wall area in two bathrooms.
These price increases seem extremely high to me.
Regards,
Sven1969

They also offer that we buy the tiles ourselves and they install them under the main contractor contract. Considering the price difference between online and physical stores, you are practically forced to order the materials online. I can’t just spend an extra 10,000 on plumbing here and 8,000 more on flooring there, just to avoid buying online.

werners814 Dec 2017 20:50So, I have now received the quote. The tiler wants an extra charge of over 50 euros per square meter for 80x80cm (31.5x31.5 inches) tiles. That’s quite a lot – just for laying, I’m already over 100 euros. The local company here that I contacted today offered me a price of 46 euros per square meter without baseboard... I find this difference extremely surprising!

Tile supplier: maybe ask a second one. We hardly had any extra costs compared to online prices. Why should there be? 90% isn’t stock items anyway.Yes, I will do that. I’ll go there with the online prices in hand and see if they match or even beat them.
