Quotes hide costs in line-items

Tile cost is only part of the total. Freight, loading/unloading, floor delivery, adhesive, grout, trims, and GST can swing totals massively.

Note: guidance is general. On-site conditions can change the right choice. Use this as a checklist, not a substitute for an engineer/contractor.

What to ask

  • Ask for a full breakup: base price, discount, GST, freight, loading/unloading, floor delivery, adhesive, grout, trims.
  • Ask which items are excluded and who pays if quantities change.

Red flags

  • !A quote that gives only a single “all-in” number with no breakup.
