why dont you use slc to level the floor..?

i dont use it unless there is a very obvious area that is very low because slc does not level a floor out. it only helps building up low areas.
i have a standard template for my quotes and there are headed sections for site preparation/notes on materials/time scale of work and payment terms.
under site preparation i state that my material costs are based on a level sub floor and i have based my adhesive costs on 2.00 sq mts per bag.in reality i have been to site and know it is not level but am sure that to level the tiling i can do this within the

3m2 per bag for me Jonny is what I price my work on but as you know if a floor is out by only 3-4mm you use double the manufacturers guide line for the adhesives coverage when levelling out floors

well that is encouraging that there is someone between me and the majority.
of course when quoting for a job with plenty of meters the price will come in to it as well and that could also be the reason i have lost jobs on price if my bag rate is also high.
