ok so that wouldn’t be on any plans or tender so your contractor is within his rights to say no. I would too ..!! 
 

Porcelain isn’t good at elastic / tensile bends so when you cut it then you create stress and it will break. At 40mm slices at that length there is no way of on site cutting that so you would need it to be water jetted. I’d expect about £15 a cut, so you’re probably at £5-600 for cutting but would add 50% for breakages so two tiles, cutting etc would be £15-1800. 
 

Redesign it. 

No redesign. No need.

so what was the tile cutting cost in the end ..? 

  • cutting of two large format 3200 x 160 x 6mm marrazzi tiles into the pieces shown above - £500 plus VAT
  • packaging and delivering all pieces (and leftovers) £100 plus VAT
  • total = £720 inc VAT.

 On your drawings these are 3200 x 1600 x 6, so they are over 5m2 for the 2 tiles.  Cut into 35 pieces.  So with the cost of the tiles this is about £340 per meter plus fitting.

 

Did you fit them or was that done by others?

 

The ceiling came out very well.

Sorry that is a typo. My main contractor fitted them, with supervision from my architect (who designed this crazy scheme).
