Compare installed cost on the same basis

A price per unit is only one part of the installed total. Ask whether the quote includes substrate preparation, waste allowance, delivery and removal of the previous finish. A cheaper product can produce a larger project cost if the two proposals describe different scopes.

Put it into practice

  1. Use identical measured areas.
  2. List inclusions and exclusions line by line.
  3. Ask the installer to explain any allowance.

01

Keep a useful finish record

Save more than the marketing name. Product code, finish, batch information where provided, supplier and installation location make a record useful when something needs repair later.

02

Move from sample approval to order

Ask the supplier how closely the delivered material is expected to match the sample and how variation is handled. Confirm the quantity with the installer before placing the order.
