What will be the cost of tile flooring for one room?/ Tile flooring cost per square feet.

Let us consider a room of size 12 ft. × 16 ft. as shown below.

Let us calculate the total cost of fixing the tile for this above-given room.

Given data:

Length of the room = 16ft.

Breadth of the room = 12ft.

Skirting height = 4" = 0.33ft.

Door size = 2.5 ft × 7 ft.

Calculation:

1. Area of tile flooring

= length × breadth

= 16ft. × 12ft.

= 192 sqft.

Area of skirting 

= [{(2nos. × length) + (2nos. × breadth) - door width} × height] 

= [{(2nos. × 16ft.) + (2nos. × 12ft.) - 2.5 ft.} × 0.33ft.]

= [ { 32ft. + 24ft. - 2.5ft.} × 0.33ft.]

= [ 53.5ft. × 0.33ft.]

= 17.655 sqft.

The total area of tile fixing 

= area of flooring + area of skirting

= 192 sqft. + 17.66 sqft.

= 209.66 sqft.

Go through the article,

 Calculating the quantity of materials for the 100 sq. ft. of tile flooring.

Note: Below given data are taken from the above-mentioned article.

 Cement bags required for 100sq ft. tile area= 2.84 bag.

The volume of sand required for 100 sq ft. tile area = 0.3953 cum.

By cross multiplication,

2. The number of cement bags required for tile flooring

    = [2.84 bag × (209.66 sq ft ÷ 100 sq ft.)]

    = [ 2.84 bag × 2.096]

    = 5.95 bags.

3. The volume of sand required

   = [0.3953cum × (209.66 sq ft ÷ 100 sq ft.)]

   = [0.3953 cum × 2.096]

   = 0.829 cum.

   = 29.26 cu ft

4. White cement required for joint filling = 1kg. ( Approx.)

5. Labor cost.

   The average Labor charge per sq ft of tile work = INR 15/-

  The total labor cost

  = Total tile area in sq ft. × labor rate/sq ft.

  = 209.66 sq ft. × 15/sq ft.

  = 3144.90/- 

 Now, let us calculate the tile flooring cost in the table format.

Sl. no.	Item.	Qty.	Rate. in INR.	Unit.	Cost in INR.
1.	Tile	209.66	48/-	Sq ft.	10,063.68
2.	Cement.	5.95	400/-	bags	2,380.00
3.	Sand.	0.829	2000/-	Cum.	1,658.00
4.	White cement.	1.0	20/-	Kg.	20.00
5.	The material cost =				14,121.68
6.	Add 5% wastage =				706.08
7.	Total material cost =				14,827.76
8.	Labour cost =				3,144.90
9.	The total cost of flooring =				17,972.66

 

Note: All the rates mentioned in the above-given table are the average market rate in India. To get the accurate cost of flooring, replace them with your regional rate.

Cost per sq ft of tile flooring

   =  [Total cost of tile flooring ÷ total tile area]

   = [17972.66 ÷ 209.66]

   = 85.72/-

By rounding off, the tile flooring cost per sq ft. of the building is INR 86/-
