Re: Building with Metricon 4764Feb 27, 2017 5:32 pm emmyawards Gotta find a demo company. We got a quote from the one our friend and my parents used and they've quoted $14.5k. Does that seem reasonable? The house is old so I'm thinking it has asbestos. Our demo quote is about $18k including asbestos, brick veneer house, garage, double tandem slab, 22 trees, (including one that's about 45m tall), and block scrape...

I was surprised to know it was compliant lol Re: Building with Metricon 4773Mar 02, 2017 3:44 pm Just out of curiosity does anyone know how much labour costs are usually for 600x600 porcelain tiles, say if we only did the bathrooms but did floor to ceiling tiling? Re: Building with Metricon 4774Mar 02, 2017 3:56 pm emmyawards Just out of curiosity does anyone know how much labour costs are usually for 600x600 porcelain tiles, say if we only did the bathrooms but did floor to ceiling tiling? From M? I don't know the labor costs, but I do have a rough total cost. Roughly when I did the calculations: Floors - Upgrade to 600x600 porcelain to all the standard wet area tiling - $5500 Walls - 600x600 floor to ceiling tiles - $3000 per bathroom Walls - 600x600 floot to ceiling tiles - $2000 per powder room Of course all prices depends on particular tile choice and and size of bathrooms.

Yikes. I picked a 600x600 tile they had at studio m which I was told wasn't too expensive. Probably would cost about $1k per bathroom but totally forgot about labour costs. I'm hoping it's not going to be too much!

I thought 600x600 was not recommended for bath walls! Coz they are too heavy or someth!

I thought 600x600 was not recommended for bath walls! Coz they are too heavy or someth! Might be wrong though most people just use ceramic on the walls for this reason. It's also much cheaper and costs less for labour to install.. Believe it or not our tiler charged us $10 extra /sqm for porcelain. And more if it was rectified. Re: Building with Metricon 4778Mar 06, 2017 12:34 pm Was told anything bigger than 30x30 in the wet areas floors would incur additional costs.
