I am doing a bid, this is one of those “sink your teeth into” jobs, large (20,000 sf) and very technical. The manager has narrowed it down to 3 of us to bid. This will be interesting…

 

It was installed by some Italians, then ground in place, the workmanship is incredible. It is 10 years old and looks great, just some wear patterns and scratching which the manager wants removed. He said it is being maintained with Pro Glo, which is a powder imported to Australia from Spain I assume, as they also sell the Coor-Cleaver machines and crystallizers.

 

Thinking about the best way to do it. The floor is broken up into hundreds of approx. 60 sf areas bordered by mosaics. See photos.  So they will all either need blending or handwork. Will be very labor intensive, like doing 200, 60 sf floors, instead on one 20,000 sf floor. Also quite a bit of carpet borders.  Thinking I will have to be at least $10 per sf.
