Rate Analysis for Tile Work

The rate analysis for tile work is very important because most of the floors finishes of the commercial and residential buildings are done by using tiles. For the tiling work, we need tiles, cement, sand, grout, tile adhesive, and tillers and helpers. The below calculations are based on BSR and field experiences.

Let's take an area of 100 sq.ft. 

Tile size - 2' x 2'

Number of tile required = 100 / 4 = 25 Nos

Add - wastage 10% = 25 x 10% = 2.5 
                                             say = 3 Nos

Total  = 28 Nos

12.5 mm thick Cement mortar bed

Cement = 1.25 bags
Add - wastage 5% = 1.25*5% = 0.08 
Total = 1.33

Sand = 0.07 Cu
Add - wastage 10% = 0.07*10% = 0.007
Total = 0.08

Tile Adhesive - 35Sq.ft / (30kg) bag 
Number of tile adhesive bags 30kg = 100/35 = 2.86 Nos

Tile Grout - 1kg bag can cover 250 Sq.ft 
Number of tile grout 1kg = 100/250 = 0.4 Nos

Total Material Requirement

2' x 2' Tiles = 28 Nos 
Tile Adhesive (30kg bags) = 2.86 Nos
Tile Grout (1kg pct) = 0.4 Nos
Cement (50kg bag) = 1.33 Bags
Sand = 0.08 Cu

Labour Requirement

Assume 1 Tiller and 1 Helper can lay up to 70-100 sq.ft per day

From the above analysis, we can calculate the rate for tiling work by applying the cost of each item such as tile price, adhesive price and labour rates.
