You may think that the cost may be too much, but it actually is. Provided it has six columns and complete wall footing for the entire concrete hollow blocks. Complete floor tile. Painted walls for interior and exterior including ceiling made up of fiber cement boards. The accessories included in the estimation were mirrors, water closet with bidet, tissue paper holder, grab bars for PWD. Solid wood doors and aluminum windows were also assumed in the pricing. This is how much it will take to build three toilet rooms (on average, may be higher or lower depending on locations.)
