botticini marble (loads of doors!) - Tile Advice

[Grace'sDad]

Want to bounce this off a few of you please guys....

12sqm of hallway, "L" shaped - ashphalt floor, mirror smooth.
Awkward bits are, lower stair and 6 x doorways.
(I always trim architraves)
Customer wants tile direction changing at one end of the hall, to point into the other (if you know what I mean?!) Should be quite tricky as the tiles are 600x400 so there will need to be some spot-on 45 degree cuts done. He won't go for brick-bond.

Was going to go at £45sqm but I reckon I'll come up short on a £175 day rate. What do you think?

My rate includes trimming 6 doors, cleaning, sealing etc.
Materials extra.

What size grout joints does he want? Allow for any heavy veining if you are going to be doing a lot of long straight cuts! Depending on the quality of the marble of course!

It's only possible to do brick-bond Mark.....Unless you cut in some triangular pieces, very tricky and fiddly to get spot on...Gaz
