Is this normal tiling standard?

Looks like a brittle full bodied porcelain ? If so, even a TX scribe cutter doesn't like them, hmm maybe the wet cutter was ran dry, with just the blade, too much friction, but you'd expect the tiler to just wet cut one edge and snap the other, they seem to be all wet cut, maybe he scribed and wet cut, maybe he should have used a carbrundon stone to smooth off edges.. with a brittle porcelain tile, just more time and care is required to achieve a decent finish, frustrating but part of the job to achieve a good end result and attention to detail.. so to answer, yes with time & care the project could look better definitely, as with everything.

Lazy. At the very least a few minutes with a diamond hand pad would have softened the chips.
The trim should have been better aligned with the tile faces and the mitres are good but short of perfect.
Unfortunately though I think the builder's comment about this being "typical standard" is probably correct.

See my photos in bad workmanship thread to see what a builder thinks is acceptable

Sorry mate but imo there are a million ways a job can be wrong, there is only one way it can be right, that is when it is right. This work is clearly not right so why is anyone trying to make excuses for poor work?:incazzato:

Like my old man says "If it's not 100% right then it's wrong"

The cut tiles are not good. Were they dry cut with the wrong type of blade ?
