Installation Quote
Commercial flooring installations are different. It takes experience to manage the multiple challenges that one faces with commercial flooring installations. Experience that will keep your project on track.
There are more scheduling challenges with commercial flooring installations, other trades, material delivery date that move, and project parameters change as well. This requires more coordination with other contractors and subcontractors. Additional decision makers or stakeholders raise challenges as well. You want a company that has been there, done that, and we have.

Are we required to buy the flooring from you?
No, we do a great deal of installation only where the client has already purchased their flooring materials and is in need of professional installation.
We are national sales and installation for some of the largest manufacturers in the country. In most cases, you will find our combined product and installation services to be highly competitive.
What is the process to begin?
The process is quite simple. We will need a floor plan of your facility, with as much information about the project as possible.
- Location.
- Timeline for installation.
- Type of floor finish or material to be used.
- Current condition of the substrate.
- If your project is a weight room and will have inlay platforms, we need to know the quantity of platforms and positioning for an accurate quote.
- What other floor finishes are there that the new material will join? We need this to understand what kind of transitions will be needed.
How are logos applied or attached?
Many customers self-install our logos since they are so easy to install. Logos that are not oversize and that are produced in one-piece, are relatively easy. You will be provided with instructions and an installation video to speed up the installation process. We are also available for phone consultation to help guide you when needed. Lastly, if you feel uncomfortable self-installing your new logos, we can help locate a qualified professional to install them. For multi-part logos, we do recommend a professional installer be used.
Who else do you provide your installation service to?
We apply line markings for Badminton, Basketball, Cricket, Fitness test/Bleep test lines, Five a side football, Futsal, Hockey, Netball, Tennis, Volleyball, and other sports where required.
- Surfaces are properly prepared prior to line marking application.
- Specific lines and fitness and sports marking equipment for precision lines with minimal bleed.
- The correct court marking paint compatible with the underlying surface.
- Highly experienced staff in applying court markings.
- Fast and efficient service to minimize downtime.
Adequate Information
The steps to getting an accurate commercial flooring installation quote are fairly basic. Providing as much detail and information in the beginning will assure that you will be getting a quote that is accurate and on time. One of the worst things you can do is drip-feed information for quoting purposes. This will cause additional work, more steps and delay your quote from being completed.
Consistency
It is important that when you request a flooring installation quote, that you provide the same or equal information to all of the companies participating in the quote process so that you have accurate and fair comparisons.
Floor Preparation or Prep
Having as much of the substrate prepared for your flooring installation prior to the flooring installation team arriving, will save you both time and money in the end. All commercial flooring companies expect to perform floor prep prior to installing a commercial floor. The difference is what is considered normal or standard floor prep and what is not. Most commercial flooring installation companies will factor in one ten-pound bag of fill or feather per 1,000 square feet. Any additional material and labor needed to achieve the proper floor trueness will be added to your final invoice. For us at American Platforms & Flooring, that is our process as well.
Take-Offs
Commercial Flooring Installation companies will produce a drawing or drawings that are called take-offs. These drawings will show the floor plan in a 2D drawing, with the number of rolls, tiles, or sheets of the floor covering that is designated for that particular space. For example, if you have selected a recycled rolled rubber for installation, it will typically come in a 4-foot wide roll. The drawing will show a series of rolls on the plan to cover the space, with each showing 4 feet wide. If you have a 28-foot wide room, it would show 7 rolls of rubber at the required length. When this is done properly, a commercial flooring installation company can factor the proper roll lengths and quantity to avoid any more waste and trim than is absolutely necessary. This process will prevent your commercial flooring installation company from simply taking the square footage and adding the standard 15%.

WHAT IS THE PROCESS TO BEGIN?
The process is quite simple. There are a number of steps that we like to follow that will make your experience with us and getting your high performance flooring installed with the least amount of effort. Floor plan of your location, preferably a CAD file type. This would normally be a .dwg file extension. Approved layout drawing from Athletics Franchising. Pictures of the location, showing floor surfaces with adequate lighting. Location. Timeline for installation. Current condition of the substrate. Is there floor covering on the floor now that will need to be demoed? If demo work is needed, what is the floor covering type? Do you know how long it has been down on the floor? If no floor covering is on the substrate now, what condition is the concrete in? Relatively smooth, does it have chips and joints with wide gaps, etc? Are there extreme or abrupt elevation changes that will require additional floor prep or special transitions?
