    Would be very cautious bro because theres no new construction in Ireland at the moment. Im building a project in asia and I've ordered about 8000 tiles in the last 5 months, that would be the kind of orders you'd need to make good profit if you have expensive showrooms etc

    +1 on this, do you think you can compete with the big tile retailers? If you are goingdoing this, I would advise incorporating a tiling & decorating service as part of it because all too often you buy your tiles but they only give you a business card to someone wwho is a tiler.

    I presume you have a business plan before you got your premises?
