3. Labour costsThe labour cost for laying the floor tiles on a new floor or an existing flooring in a simple straight line design ranges between ₹35 and ₹40 per square foot. This cost includes fixing the tiles with tile adhesive, followed by grouting, final cleaning of the tiles and disposal of waste generated during installation of floor tiles.In case the floor tile design demands installation of borders, medallions or any curved design, then the contractor can demand for an additional labour cost depending upon the complexity of design.Note: Tile installation for smaller areas such as the bathroom or kitchen cannot be calculated on the basis of square feet but will be calculated on a lump-sum basis. Although the scope of work is less in a smaller area, it is more time consuming and requires at least two people to complete the tile job.Browse through images of floors in more living rooms
