Cement is nt you can economize or assume because type of the building Matters alot, as you said above.
then consider hw perfect are the walls and floors.


That is the truth, because pure cement must be use for the installation of wall tiles, and the cement used will determine the durability of floors and walls

The cement is OK with the quotation when I add square meter together.. The labour charge per square meter is OK as well with the century we are now, but the price of the tiles varies depending on the location, design and the product to use...

Oga, please where can you find a tiler for #250 per square meter? In Nigeria or , or Venezuela.

Why is it that any quote dropped here, people will jump on it and say it is high it is high without proper assessment?

How is that quote high? In some places you can't even get a tiler for #400.

The labour cost is OK,
The number of cement is OK considering the total area of tiles quoted for.

What the OP should look out for is if the area quoted for is correct with the areas of the building to be tiled, of which no one can ascertain from here without a proper drawing. And remember there should be allowance for wastages.

ie. If your living room is 20sqm it is normal to quote for 22 -25sqm depending on the perimeter
and then to cover for the skirting too.

Then the cement part, OP can buy himself, let's say 25 bags first and see how far it goes.

Moreover, I didn't see the admixture for wall tiles and grouting cement. Hope the tiles don't come falling off, well depending of the size of the tiles to be used on the walls.

The visitors toilet is too small even most of the toilets in the house.
Is that the wash hand basin to the visitors toilet you have at the sit-out? How possible is that.

Bedroom3 the toilet door can not open properly cos of the positioning of the shower tray.

Most of the WC are either too close to the wall or to the tray, there may be no allowance for one to open their legs and sit, shit no go come out.

The second apartment, why do you have a door from the living room to the dining, is it necessary?

You are entitled to your design, but I feel you are maltreating most of the restrooms.

Then look at your flow and grid again. Do something about it.

I hail sirs.

Please I need your expert opinions on this quotation for tiling. I feel its on the high side. Please advise accordingly. Thanks sirs.


1st Toilet Wall 17.98sqm=12 cartons@1,900 25*40= 22,800

1st Toilet Floor 3.96sqm= 3 cartons@2,000 30*30=6,000

2nd Toilet Wall. 20.01sqm= 14cartons@1,900 25*40= 26,600

2nd Toilet floor 4.50sqm=3 cartons@ 2,000 30*30= 6,000

3 Rooms 36.48sqm= 24 cartons@2,700. 40*40= 64,800

Sitting Room. 37.06sqm= 28 cartons@3,800. 60*60= 106,400

Kitchen wall. 29.58sqm= 20 cartons@1,900 25*40= 38,000

Kitchen Floor 12.79sqm= 8 cartons@2,600 40*40= 20,800

Passage. 8.9sqm= 5 cartons @2,700. 40*40= 13,500

35bags of Cement


Workmanship= 80,000 @ 350/ sqm.

To ascertain whether the price of the tiles are high or not you need to let us know answers to the following.

Where is the site location? Lagos? Ibadan?
What was your agreement with the tiler ?
Will he be the one to move the tiles to site? Thats transportation cost.


On cement if you feel its much buy 20bags first if its not enough then you buy more.

On the labour cost of #350 I don't think its high depending on location too
Though you can get #300 in some locations but #350 is not bad.

Take the length x breadth of each component and add up, that gives the total square meters.
