Large format floor, anhydrate, 270 Sqm

[Fraser Tiling]

Hello fellas,
About to price 170m 1500x750 10mm porc on anhydrate screed, big areas.
Initial laitenance removed, will use Kerakol primer and bio addy.
Also about 100m of 300x300 in smaller rooms.
The job is in one of the most expensive roads in one of the most expensive areas of south bucks, and is for a customer who owns a very large commercial construction company, so knows his stuff and will expect top rate finish.
Got a number or two in mind, and expect to make proper money from it.
Your thoughts?

Have a site meeting with the rep and get a written spec from your adhesive supplier covering uncoupling/exspansion and commissioning etc and follow it to the letter.

That's posh, tiling the road....

 

[Perry]

Fraser you better give him my number then. And I thought I lived in the posh road.

 

[Flintstone]

Sounds like a nice job. Why bio gel and not anhyfix, the obvious choice? Only you know what the rates are like where you live and what sort of a premium this job commands

Bet he got his money every week!

Probably still getting paid as well, I heard he'd 'locked' £6m worth of bonuses so they can't be handed back.

 

[Time's Ran Out]

Hate people like that, deceitful Bastards!

Sorry to hijack thread. Radio 4 today some industry expert said that Carrilion were so big, they couldn't make a profit so by not paying their contractors for SO long, their cash flow was artificially inflated allowing them to cook the books and appear financially sound.
The interviewer quite quickly shut him down on this point though.
Makes you wonder how many other major players are doing the same...
