Anyone who thinks they are saving money not tiling the whole floor has never fitted a kitchen. Click to expand... Agreed. I did same with our utility. For the cost-conscious though, they could always use cheepo (but same thickness) tiles where the units will go.

Presumably, the backs of the units, cupboards, and tiling? Ply would have better load-bearing characteristics than plasterboard.
