Skimming onto finished floor

[hail hail]

A fella I know building a house, structure build, underfloor heating in, screed etc.. then goes and tiles the floors before floating the walls and skimming. Have yous ever worked on a job like this before. Reason being he wants the skimmed walls to finish on a stop bead on top of the tiles. No skirting boards! In all my years working, I've never came across this. Even if one didn't want skirting, I'd still skim first then tile to it.

Pics of another job in a 650k house where the floors settled Abit just to show what can happen.

Might have been a drying out issue that added to this order of works , as well as shadow gap

Or the tiler got in first and said it was the way to go lol

yes no problem. protect the tile floor, fit shadow bead, then float and set.
the architects like the walls to appear to be floating above the floor.
i have also had to fill the shadow gaps, on a hospital new build because it is a dust trap.

Line the floor with heavy duty lining paper and 3" masking tape. Plaster too floor, cut through with a decs snap knife . Jobs a good'un .

I don't like it. Especially if the tilers aren't bang on with the level fight around the room.

Architects come up with all kinds of s**t, done that loads of times, my advice would be, mix a bucket lay in on, mix a second bucket and throw it on the architect's car for being a prick then go home
