PRE-INSTALLATION INFORMATION
Pre-installation information is very important. Knowing as much about the current floor or substrate condition is vital to building a proposal or quote. This will allow our team to accurately quote the project and avoid additional costs and charges at the end of your flooring installation. Pre-installation information includes, but is not limited to:
- Substrate material - bare concrete, carpet squares, wood floor, etc.
- Substrate condition - perfect without missing pieces, cracked or crumbling concrete, old and split wood, etc.
- Wall base type - standard vinyl wall base, special oversize wall base, wood wall base, ceramic, etc.
- Gaps in the substrate and wall.
- Special transitions needed.
- Special thresholds in doorways.
- Expansion joints - will need covers recommended by the architect or General Contractor on the project.
- Moisture issues - fresh concrete, known high moisture content.
- Rough substrate surface - could require additional adhesive or floor prep.
Below are images to represent some of the challenges that should be shared with our quote and proposal team to assure that your quote is as accurate as possible.
Pre-installation Checklist
COMMERCIAL FLOORING
Commercial flooring installations are different. It takes experience to manage the multiple challenges that one faces with commercial flooring installations. Experience that will keep your project on track.
There are more scheduling challenges with commercial flooring installations, other trades, material delivery date that change and project parameters change as well. This requires more coordination with other contractors and subcontractors. Additional decision-makers or stakeholders raise challenges as well. You want a company that has been there, done that, and we have.
Commercial Flooring Installation Quote
Adequate Information
The steps to getting an accurate commercial flooring installation quote are fairly basic. Providing as much detail and information in the beginning will assure that you will be getting a quote that is accurate and on time. One of the worst things you can do is drip-feed information for quoting purposes. This will cause additional work, more steps and delay your quote from being completed.
Consistency
It is important that when you request a flooring installation quote, that you provide the same or equal information to all of the companies participating in the quote process so that you have accurate and fair comparisons.
Floor Preparation or Prep
Having as much of the substrate prepared for your flooring installation prior to the flooring installation team arriving, will save you both time and money in the end. All commercial flooring companies expect to perform floor prep prior to installing a commercial floor. The difference is what is considered normal or standard floor prep and what is not. Most commercial flooring installation companies will factor in one ten-pound bag of fill or feather per 1,000 square feet. Any additional material and labor needed to achieve the proper floor trueness will be added to your final invoice. For us at American Platforms & Flooring, that is our process as well.
Take-Offs
Commercial Flooring Installation companies will produce a drawing or drawings that are called take-offs. These drawings will show the floor plan in a 2D drawing, with the number of rolls, tiles, or sheets of the floor covering that is designated for that particular space. For example, if you have selected a recycled rolled rubber for installation, it will typically come in a 4-foot wide roll. The drawing will show a series of rolls on the plan to cover the space, with each showing 4 feet wide. If you have a 28-foot wide room, it would show 7 rolls of rubber at the required length. When this is done properly, a commercial flooring installation company can factor the proper roll lengths and quantity to avoid any more waste and trim than is absolutely necessary. This process will prevent your commercial flooring installation company from simply taking the square footage and adding the standard 15%.
