Look around...

You see the crack in that tile floor?

Could have something to do with the installer not accounting for EXPANSION AND CONTRACTION.

Non linear soft joints on runningbond and planks. This is skipped all the time tile right up to base boards. Not a short term problem the failure is further down the road. Your basic tile installer and flooring shop might only warranty the install for 1 year. That’s how they escape accountability.

What about a control joint in the concrete? Would it be ok to fill the control joint with a flexible silicone than roll a liquid anti-crack membrane over it and add flexible movement joints to the nearest grout line?
