Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Apr 01, 2010 10:28 am Hubby is doing an assignment and had to follow a build and we noticed that the tiles went down before painting. Is that normal????? Also he has to estimate the cost of the build, he has the base price plus the package upgrade they chose. Roughly how much extra do builders charge, site costs etc. Block is flat so nothing out of the ordinary. If it is any use they are building the Metr!con Grandview 27 Any help asap would be appreciated Thanks Re: Quick Questions need answers asap!!! 2Apr 01, 2010 10:33 am Not with M but our tiles alll went down prior to painting. The painters then painted along the top edge of the tiles to blend it into the walls. Some things are worth waiting for. Re: Quick Questions need answers asap!!! 4Apr 01, 2010 11:02 am Our tiles were laid after painting. Painters still need to come back and do a few touch ups but other than that they painted before tiling. Hope that helps. Re: Quick Questions need answers asap!!! 5Apr 01, 2010 11:18 am PD also paint before tiling.. makes sense doesn't it? ---------------------------------------- Building the PD Lisbon 24 http://www.porterdavis.com.au/#homeviewer/lisbon/24 Blog of our progress. http://lisbon24.blogspot.com/ Homeone build thread https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=28665 Re: Quick Questions need answers asap!!! 6Apr 01, 2010 11:20 am It makes a lot of sense. I've seen lots of photos on here of tiling being done after painting and had to ask after seeing the tiles go down yesterday. Just seems like more effort to try and paint on top of tiles than on top of the slab. Re: Quick Questions need answers asap!!! 7Apr 01, 2010 10:13 pm Our painting was done before they started laying tiles this week.

COATING USUALLY HAS TWO PHASE...SOMETIMES THREE. 4-5 TIMES, THAT'S MONEY MAKING ALREADY. BASICALLY THEY JUST APPLIED THE FIRST COATING THEN DECORATE IT AFTER THE TILES HAVE BEEN LAID OUT. LESS WORRIES ABOUT THE TILES GETTING INITIAL PAINT DRIPPING. ___________________________ Who sees the human face correctly: the photographer, the mirror, or the painter?- PICASSO
