If you don't trust your "construction people", go get new ones. If you
do trust them, then trust them. If they don't know where to get the
tiles, then don't trust them to do the job and go get someone new.
Just tell them to go bring you a dozen samples (or go the the supplier
with you) and to make a mock up of tile over tile for you to see.
After they do the mock up, have them explain it to you. Then try
pulling it apart and see what happens.
