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

I got this information from a local tiler as well, installation costs are 100 euros plus materials. This will certainly vary depending on local conditions and pricing.Is that EUR 100 per square meter (about 10.8 sq ft) total price for installation, or an additional charge on top of the standard cost for 60x60 cm (24x24 inches) tiles?

Material, installation labor effort, and additional costs (adhesives, etc.) are all listed separately – material and additional costs are also not cheap.
Against this background, the EUR 93 per square meter (about 9.2 per square foot) surcharge on pure labor costs seems quite excessive to me.
