hi guys,been asked to quote to lay slate floor tiles in a night club,unsure what price to give.
1.slate tiles 600x600
2.floor is nice and flat latex
3.area 570msq-its basically a big hall,very little to cut around.
4.supply ady, grout and sealant.
do i charge £20-£25/m +mats or

if this is a normal commercial job then your biggert problem will be time ,at 20 per day it will take over a month and no comm'job ive ever been on would give you that much time!! 570 m2- 2 weeks

base it on m2 in my opinion matey. £25-30 should be about right as its such a big area you could afford to drop a little maybe, make sure you get it.

Nice job, where you based? As Alex1963 said you'll struggle with that time frame i reckon so you'll need some help!

Slate floor in a night club, that sounds a nightmare, make sure you specify your price is to lay calibrated slate. If its not calibrated you will be ages sorting it out. Also explain as its a natural stone it will be a job keeping it clean in those condition. And what about expansion joints, have you got to fix any of these.

can't see why they choose slate for a nightclub!

 

[simonb43]

£30 per m2 = £17100 plus the cost of materials, but as has been mentioned before they will probably want it done quicker, so you will probably need help.

Find out if it is calibrated slate or not.

Let us know where it is and you may get some help.

I would have thought for a job this size they would only be looking at around 2 weeks to lay max.
That's 285 sqm per week, and just short of 41 sqm per day working 7 days a week.
When using 600 x 600's doing long days "14 hrs" you should be able to lay that amount per day, but you won't be doing it just on your own, it will be nearly a full time job just for a second person to be getting the adhesive mixed and combed out and sorting the tiles ready to use as your laying them.
Then maybe towards the end of the first week getting a third person to start the grouting.

This size job isn't for the one person with what time frame the club owners will probably want it doing in.

Also you will need to be fitting expansion joints in every 10 meters in all directions too, or changes in substrat or anyother obsticles like pillars ect.
