Overview
Tiling in Australia is precision work under time pressure. You are waterproofing wet areas, screeding floors, setting porcelain and natural stone, and cutting large-format slabs to millimetre tolerances — all while builders and homeowners want the job finished yesterday. The trade rewards a clean, square, watertight result, and one failed waterproofing membrane can mean a callback that wipes out the job's profit.
Most tilers, working in a large and competitive trade, run lean, chasing builder progress claims and homeowner deposits while paying for adhesive, grout and hire gear up front. Work clusters around the renovation and new-build cycle, busy through the warmer building months and quieter when wet weather and the holidays stall sites. Quoting fast and getting paid on time matter as much as the tiling itself.

Common questions
You buy materials and book the job before the money arrives, then wait on a builder's progress claim or a homeowner's final payment. Taking a deposit and invoicing promptly at each stage keeps cash moving so a slow payer does not stall your next job.
Document your membrane work with photos, use compliant products and keep records of what you applied. Good evidence and the right insurance turn a potential defect dispute into a manageable one rather than a job-killing loss.
Yes. Large-format and natural stone are slower, riskier and need more gear and labour, so they should carry a higher rate than standard ceramic. Pricing them the same as basic tiling is a fast way to lose money on your hardest jobs.
