A fella I know building a house, structure build, underfloor heating in, screed etc.. then goes and tiles the floors before floating the walls and skimming. Have yous ever worked on a job like this before. Reason being he wants the skimmed walls to finish on a stop bead on top of the tiles. No skirting boards! In all my years working, I've never came across this. Even if one didn't want skirting, I'd still skim first then tile to it.

Pics of another job in a 650k house where the floors settled Abit just to show what can happen.

Might have been a drying out issue that added to this order of works , as well as shadow gap
