Default Large format tiles, what adhesive?

Hi,

Just looked at a bathroom job today, what seemed like good plastered walls, 35 metres. The room looks massive, 3 metres high with big window, a reveal in a wall and an angled corner, so it needs two trims. I can do the job no problem, just think it will take me a long while.
The tiles are 34 x 48 cm ceramics.
I have been advised before to use flexible powdered adhesive for large format tiles but wondered if I could use a bucket adhesive for ease and cost benefits? If so what do you recommend for larger tiles.

I'm a bit concearned I might be underquoting at 25 a metre including adhesive, especially when I pay around 20 quid for white flexible powder. Do tilers charge more for fixing larger tiles? Ideas on what people would charge per metre would also be helpful as I don't know what to charge as the price of bucket and powdered adhesive can vary so much and therefore eat into my price. Hope this makes sense.

Cheers for any advice and help,

Steve
