Think I'd run a mile if I got offered a job like that, how would you even start to get that lot laid mm perfect and that owner would def expect it.
 
Be interested to know how you do something like that. Layout is layout but how do you get the heights right across the room? He doesn't use a level, just stuck them down next to the previous one?

It's a pumped screed flat as a pancake. No level needed just crack out your mosaic trowel and smash em down
:flushed:
 
I have got to get me one of those babies.
Mate they're wicked and worth every penny.......even if it's only to see the look of fear in the builders eyes when it starts to scan the floor! Rofpmsl!
And I don't say that very often haha
And if you're laying a floor big enough to warrant its use, the cost of it can easily be lost, how d'u think I got mine haha

Oh I'm not so sure Paul cos my mosaic trowel is a Bisazza trowel and they're only 3.5mm, think that extra 0.5 mm might be needed! 😀

A bisazza trowel......flash git... Mines just a crappy tile master one that's worn down to a couple of millimetres. That's more than enough for a 1500 x1500 porcelain tile.

They're lovely trowels to use it has to be said mate, worth the extra I feel.
I cherish mine as @AliGage can testify when he went to use it once to apply Kerdi-Coll!!!!!
Yeah that didn't work out so well for him! Hahaha
 
Just watched it. I would like to get stuck into a job like that. Clients like that don't phase me at all. They are quite easy to accommodate as they usually have a heavy input into the layout and set out points. Plus they don't mind paying for there perfection.
 
I watched that, some job, the client defo had lots of input on the setting out, before the tiles went down he bought two new pains of glass because they would interfere with the grout lines.
I laughed when he said he had to look on YouTube on how to fix the the outside wall tiles. There's hope for me yet!!!

Does that go back to tiling companies not providing fixing spec sheets that I've read on previous threads on here?

Lovely looking job though.

I agree, this guy Definitely did the layout as he had the window moved to suit the grout line he had invisioned. Fair play to the guy, if I was doing a £60k self build it would have to be perfect, let alone £1.3m + plot! He had every reason to be (dare I say it) a little anal
