[quote=Anonymous]I am not sure why you cannot buy your own materials, at least some of them.  Are you buying them through your contractor and do they take a cut of some sort?  We had worked with a contractor before and had to buy all our own materials/fixtures/tile, etc.  He only charged for labor.  We did a small bathroom with the floor to ceiling marble, jacuzzi tub and Grohe fixtures, the materials total cost was about 6K.  There is marble tile you can buy for as little as $3-5/sq.ft, decent quality tubs and toilets for under 1K.  and decent fixtures can be had online for 30-40%off as long as you know what to buy.  You can always call the website customer service or email them and they will answer what rough-in goes with which trim, what valves to buy to complete your system, etc.

I know, these are poor people problems for those of you making 500/hr.  If I made that much I guess I would rather just bill extra hours to my clients and hire an expensive architect and would not care if they'd charge me an arm and a leg.  But really, please don't go suggesting that high end materials and the whole high end look [u]cannot [/u][u]be achieved for less than what [b]you pay[/b][/u], because you can afford to hire people to take care of every little detail while you sit with hands folded.  The [b]service[/b] is what you pay for, not just the materials and labor.  [/quote]
