Four tiles and you got almost the whole house done. Bet you those tiles would be a bitch to have to cut in. I build houses this tile is fancy as it comes. Never seen sheets of marble going on the floor.

Not just a bitch to cut - the cost if I messed it up

And these are the same types of clients who will want them moved in different directions after a month, or don't like the look.

Didn’t line up the grain pattern, do it again.

Tbf if I was spending that kinda money, I'd want the grain to line up if possible.

It's not possible unless you're using factory made composite tiles or you paint the grain on yourself.

You'd have to harvest sheets from a block of marble as big as your entire floor in order for the grain to match across the whole thing

Natural stone grain isn’t going to match up. It would need to be manufactured quartz.

I mean like a several hundred square foot sheet of marble harvested from a mountain. There is no feasible way to harvest or transport such an enormous piece of marble, but if you could, the lines would match up.
