WHY ACCURATE FLOORING ESTIMATES ARE THE
KEY TO YOUR PROJECT’S SUCCESS
When it comes to flooring projects, accuracy is not optional it is essential. Flooring is one of the most visible and cost-sensitive components of any construction or renovation project. Even a small miscalculation in material quantities, transitions, or accessories can quickly escalate into budget overruns, wasted materials, and schedule disruptions. For clients and contractors alike, inaccurate estimates don’t just create frustration they create unnecessary financial risk.
At MARA Group, we believe that accurate flooring estimates are the foundation of a successful project. We don’t simply calculate quantities; we deliver clarity, confidence, and control. Our goal is to ensure that every flooring scope is clearly defined, fully coordinated, and aligned with the project’s design intent so execution happens smoothly, on time, and within budget.
WHY MOST FLOORING ESTIMATES FAIL?
Many construction projects encounter issues because flooring estimates are often prepared using assumptions, incomplete drawings, or generic takeoff methods. In fast-paced bid environments, critical details are frequently overlooked. The consequences can be significant, including:
- Over-ordering of materials, leading to wasted costs and storage issues
- Under-ordering, causing delays and rushed re-procurement
- Mismatch between drawings, finish schedules, and site conditions
- Misinterpretation of transitions, patterns, or finish extents
- Unexpected change orders and avoidable rework
These problems don’t just impact flooring they ripple through the entire project schedule. Clients deserve better than guesswork. They deserve estimates built on precision, verification, and experience.
YOU DESERVE BETTER THAN GUESSWORK. YOU DESERVE PRECISION YOU CAN RELY ON.
HOW MARA DELIVERS ERROR-FREE FLOORING ESTIMATES
HOW MARA GROUP DELIVERS ACCURATE FLOORING ESTIMATES
At MARA Group, our estimation process is designed to eliminate uncertainty. We combine technical expertise, structured workflows, and proven quality controls to deliver reliable, error free flooring estimates.
- Comprehensive Document Review
We conduct a thorough review of all available project documentation, including finish plans, room finish schedules, elevations, sections, details, and specifications. This holistic approach ensures that no scope gaps or discrepancies are missed. - Standardized Templates and Material Libraries
Consistency drives accuracy. MARA utilizes standardized estimating templates and curated material libraries for all flooring types, transitions, trims, and accessories. This reduces manual errors and ensures uniformity across projects. - Complete Scope Coverage
Our estimates go beyond surface area. We account for subfloor conditions, moisture barriers, adhesives, underlayment’s, cove bases, thresholds, trims, and specialty accessories. This ensures the estimate reflects the true construction scope not just the visible flooring. - Phased Workflow with Quality Checks
Each estimate follows a phased workflow that includes internal reviews and final cross-checks. These quality control measures allow us to identify and correct inconsistencies before they impact pricing or procurement. - Early Identification of Gaps and RFIs
When drawings or specifications are unclear or incomplete, we proactively identify the gaps and issue early RFIs. This prevents assumptions from entering the estimate and allows informed decisions to be made upfront.
