Mike ,

 

I agree with Fred , $10 sq ft is high, however what is the going rate for restoration in your market, while this seem high to us it might be in the ball park based upon your market place.

 

If I was to do this job based upon your comments the 20,000 sq is like doing a lot of 60 sq ft section I would break the pricing down that way. If your needed to do a 220, 400, 800 and a polished a 60 sq ft section it should not take your technician  more than 2.5 to 3 hours and that figuring a 65% productively rate, this means  39 minutes out of every hour your technician is working on the floor. My experience tells me that this is normal for most technicians, once in a while you may get your productivity up to 70 % but that the best you’re going to see. If anyone gets better than that they are probably getting calls back or doing poor quality work.

 

So with all that being said the main part can be honed and polished in let’s say 3 hours.

 

Is the mosaics polished? They appear to be.  Can you when honing get close enough to the mosaics that you would not need to hand hone? How much damage is in the floor?   From the pictures there does not seem to be much damage and if you can feather into the mosaics with your floor machine then you should have very little hand work.

 

Even if you had 2 hours of hand work you would have 5 hour per section. This means you could get 1 ½ section completed per day or approximately 90 sq ft per day. Can you put a technician on a job for $500 per day. If so this brings the price down to approximately $5.50 sq.  if you have   200 section of 60 sq @ $500 per day job is worth $100,000.

 

I think once you get started you would probably get more done than the 90 sq per day.

 

If you can feather into the mosaics and do very little hand work you can probably get more completed each day.

 

This is based upon doing 3 hones and a polish if you can get the job done with 2 hones and a polish your productivity will increase.

Have you completed a test?? A project this large I would recommend you do a test and see how long it take to complete the job.

 

I think based upon the size of this jobs and the contractors you have in your market, this job will be won by the bidder in the that can put 2 to 4 men on the job and generate $350 per day per man which would generate daily sales of $700 to $1400 per day based upon the number of men on the jobsite.

 

If you completed 90 sq a day this job would take approximately 222 man day to complete. Of you had 4 men on the job you would complete the job in 55 days  if I could sell this job and keep  4 guys busy for 55 day @$1400 per day

That would equal $77,000 in sales

 

If I paid my technician $17.00 per hour X 8 hour per day =$136 X 4 men = $544. Per day direct labor. You material cost would an estimated $140. Per day total direct cost $684 per day.

Your gross profit per day is $716. Per day X 55 day = $39380. For 55 days , the question is will $39,380 cover you overhead and still allow you company to make a profit????

 

Hope this helps if you have any other questions, or comments , please let me know

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.
