The design is very nice also. I will make 1 small mention though, I am aware that there are many different tile importers and there is a huge difference in quality between them. Consistency of thickness, hardness etc. I have a good mate that I believe to be the best tile layer and possibly the most experienced with all local brands, Jason Taylor from Exquisite Tiling. It would be an idea to call him for his opinion. If you have found a similar tile, considerably cheaper, there may be a reason behind it, or not. It would still be worth while. Just mention Steve the Patioman and he will give you his honest opinion. steve@everlastpatios.com.au www.everlastpatios.com.au Re: Perth Hills, Gidgegannup - Our Owner-build Journey 62Aug 21, 2014 1:27 pm Thanks for the advice Steve. We found the exact same tile (brand and all, an Italian porcelain) at another tile shop heaps cheaper, they just wanted the business more. Looking forward to seeing them laid now.

We are in the process of having our plans drawn and will be starting on our first OB journey. We too, are very keen to obtain any advice.
