If you take on the suggestions given here and try them out you will soon find which method(s) is/are the most efficient for you, depedning on your room size.
For floors, I personally dry lay (including my cuts) either half (or the whole floor depending on size) and mix up a bigger adhesive mix and get tiling. I know of other more experienced tilers who are happy to have an adheive mix made up and cut as they go.
I saw from your other thread that you would take about 4 days to tile a bathroom. IMO there is nothing wrong with this, provided you are charging a square metre rate and not a day rate for the job. That way the customer isn't getting overcharged.
As others have said, the speed comes with experience, but it always has to be quality first.
I would say its up to the customer to decide if he's overcharging. ....if he takes 4 days to do a quality job then charge for that....you never know you might charge the same and take 2 days.....dose that mean your overcharging. .? Imo its up to the client to do there homework and choose the best tiler for there project.....thats within there budget..
