I hope you're not running before you can walk, that is a big job even for an experienced tiler. TBH I wouldn't go near it until you have the basics all dealt with.
If it goes wrong the financial implications on such a job are huge. I understand you need the work but if it goes wrong, it will go spectacularly wrong
I mean this in a good way; please don't think I’m putting you down. But the quality of you work needs to be raised before you start working on any large jobs or with expensive tiles
Be lucky

Duly noted mate. I think I'll do just that. It's gonna sting a bit saying no to a large chunk of money like that, maybe I should accept anyway and sell the job to a contractor more experienced than myself...That way it will seem as if it's my company that did the work. Plus then I can learn while I'm at it!!! Nice!!!
Good idea?

Oh my god.... you struggled a little with the bathroom (by the way defo lost your level accros doorway imo) a simple strip above the door into wall would have fixed the prob and left you feeling better about it accepted or not i could never have left it like that but thats just me.......(and probably 99.9% of all other tilers on the forums but way hey) But as far as this next job goes take my advice and get help from a more experienced fixer because if all your lines need to marry throughout the job and up the stairs just setting from the basement and going with the flow aint gonna cut it,this one needs allot of thought and setting out 600 x 600 porc aint very forgiving and it will cost you dearly if it goes **** up........GET HELP....

very good idea! although bare in mind that your price might have been cheap and a contractor would have charged more so they may not want to take the job on at your price

Well, it's not as simple as just a strip as you put it. Trust me mate. I've taken everything that everyone has said here and I've looked at the wall and at the end of the day whether you want to agree or not, the only way to correct the issue is to redo the whole bathroom. Logistically thats not possible. If you could stand in the bathroom with me you will see what I mean. Also, the client suggested I leave it that way, it wasn't my suggestion. I'm sorry but irrelevant of what anyone thinks (and here's where I stick to my guns) if the client says pink, then pink it is so I won't feel bad because I know we discussed it honestly and openly and it's got nothing to do with pride. It's called understanding and we understand each other.
As for the large job, I think I will call one of the larger contractors I know and maybe I can learn from him how to do such a large complicated job!!!

As myself and others advised you to replace the tiles above the door it was because your explanation and the first pictures seemed to suggest that the tiles lower down on both sides of the door were lining up OK,(lifes too short to read it all again) It is now quite clear that your lines have been dropping slightly as you go round the room, A new spirit level is your first purchase and do as I do, turn the level round for each wall
Glad your client is happy
