    I would normally set out from the biggest room. with the hopscotch you will get pretty random cutting so you dont have that many options .
    Also I would put a movement joint at all the doorways as there is usually a lot of cracking in these areas. I would also make sure the floor area is nice and flat, as the tiles are so big. Good luck with the job.

    every 300mm you have a joint so plenty to play with,use a good laser and know where every minimum wall cut is.snap plenty of lines and stick to them

    Is it a concrete floor and screed or raised wooden floorboards on batons?

    I also assume its all at ground level and on a solid foundation and not a mixture of concrete and timber ?



    If its upstairs and on joists there will be movement.
