only would tend to go afterwards, as in 'labour only', 'materials only'
Gets lots of hits, but many are irrelevant because the phrase has other meanings. But if you want to have a look:

if you add terms like 'floor' 'tiles' 'cost' 'quote' to the search you get more examples

most companies did a servey before laying the cables and if a certain amount of houses said they wanted cable tv then it got laid if they didnt then. as the cost was a lot to lay cables to each side of the street then by only laying one side they saved a lot of money

se è per i numeri... ci sono più riferimenti per only laying
