AOA,
My 16 Marla house is under construction, which scheme should be followed for floor in below mentioned options?
1) Total Marbel.
2) Total Tile.
3) Marbel & Tile.(Which one for bedrooms and which one for drawing/dinning & TV lounge)

What are pros & cons for using Tiles?

Thats all upto your own choice boss.. As ultimately you will be the one who stay in house and enjoy Tiles or Marbles. :)

Mr Rizwan,

I would suggest titles in areas wich are commonly used such as TV lounge, drawing, dining and kitchen+baths. Tiles look always clean whereas marble generally does not give a clean look no matter how much you clean it. Use marble in rooms staircase and garage/outer area.

Use 2 x 2 or 1.5 x 1.5 sq feet brownish off-white tiles of best quality for DD n TVL. For rest of the house use grey marble that is cheep and good and will cover your extra cost for big tiles.

Marble is a permanent material. When it looks faded or worn, you can have it repolished and it is back to new. Tiles are not permanent, can chip and fade and then must eventually be replaced. Anywhere else in the world, if you could get marble in the price of ceramic tile (like you do here), no one would even consider tiling other than a kitchen perhaps.

I'm second to "marble lover".

I have installed both the tiles and marble, I'm satisfied with marble installation and it's quality, thinking to replace tiles.

Dear Rizwan,
Marble lover and Ali2 have given you the best advice. Marble is the best choice. It is kind of permanent flooring solution. If any tile breaks or chips out, you may not find the same tile again in the market unless you have kept some away at the time of fixing. Also, if they fade out, which is very much likely, then there is no way to polish again like marble.
Otherwise, the choice is yours.

Everyone has different experience, living in complete Master Granite tiled house for last 8 years, no color fading, not even a single tile broke and look is same as of new tiles.
