Hello everyone,
quick question:
What do you think is a reasonable price per square meter for tile installation (labor including materials) excluding the tiles?
Our general contractor charges
for floor tiles in living areas (30 x 60 cm (12 x 24 inches)) 80 € / sqm (about 72 sqm (775 sq ft)),
for utility room/garage 50 € / sqm (about 65 sqm (700 sq ft)), and
for bathrooms 90 € / sqm (floor and wall area about 65 sqm (700 sq ft)). Without tiles!
Honestly, I find that quite steep. What’s your opinion?

40€/sqm (square meter) including adhesive and small materials.
Silicone and baseboard were extra, but that was a minor cost.
I think the workmanship is average quality. But large format! 30x60cm (12x24 inches) is pretty standard nowadays. We have 120x30cm (48x12 inches) on the floor and 120x60cm (48x24 inches) on the wall.

I was planning to finish the garage floor with epoxy resin anyway.

Our general contractor charges
80 € per sqm (approximately 72 sqm (775 sqft) area) for floor tiles in living areas (30 x 60 cm (12 x 24 inches)),
50 € per sqm (approximately 65 sqm (700 sqft)) for the utility room/garage, and
90 € per sqm (approximately 65 sqm (700 sqft)) for bathrooms (floor and wall area). Excluding tiles! 65 sqm (700 sqft) for a bathroom? Walls and floors? What kind of bathroom is that? Or are you tiling up to a height of three meters (about 10 feet)?
The question is where you get your tiles from and why you hire the general contractor’s tiler. Apparently, he is tiling your toilet, kitchen, and hallway… so he probably won’t let anyone else do the rest and is charging accordingly.
Have another tile installer provide a quote as well—although I don’t find his hourly rate for additional work to be unreasonable.

The question is where you’re getting the tiles from, and why you’re using the tiler from the general contractor (GC). Apparently, he is tiling your toilet, kitchen, and hallway... so he probably won’t question doing the rest and will charge accordingly.
Get another quote from a different tradesperson – though I don’t think his hourly rate for AI (not sure what AI means here) is unreasonable. That’s roughly right, the bathroom is about 12sqm (130 sq ft) and the guest toilet about 5sqm (54 sq ft), fully tiled up to the ceiling, that’s around 60sqm (645 sq ft) of tiles (excluding waste, and I have an extra partition wall in the bathroom).
I will definitely get more quotes. What do you mean by “at AI”?

However, the more interesting question is why you are choosing the general contractor.
