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.
