The short answer
Comparable epoxy flooring quotations identify the area, existing substrate, preparation work, product system and responsibilities. A price per square metre is incomplete if one bidder includes removing an old coating while another prices application alone. This guide helps owners of villas, garages, warehouses and commercial spaces prepare information and questions. The actual system still needs a floor assessment and the relevant manufacturer’s instructions.
1. Prepare one enquiry sheet before asking for prices
Record the Bali location, room use, measurements by zone, overall photographs and close-ups of concerns. Identify different existing surfaces: exposed concrete, old paint, patches or tiles. Mark visible cracks, oil marks, frequently wet areas and joints. Photographs support an initial discussion, but they do not replace an assessment of the floor.
Describe what happens after installation: vehicles, shelving, trolleys, pedestrian use, washing or possible spills. For a business that remains open, identify entrances, alternative routes, working hours and items needing removal. Issue the same information to every provider so differences between quotations can be traced to their stated scope.
2. Include the survey findings in the proposal
Request a survey note that separates observed conditions, required tests and decisions awaiting confirmation. Establish who performs testing, how results are recorded and who accepts the substrate for the proposed work. If furniture still covers part of the floor, identify the uninspected areas and agree how different conditions will be priced when exposed.
Sikafloor-161 HC instructions address mechanical preparation, dust removal, treatment of cracks or joints and checks of moisture conditions before application. These illustrate why preparation should follow the selected product. Do not adopt one online moisture figure for every brand: the test method and acceptance criteria must suit the system actually proposed.
3. Use this table to align the quotation scope
Copy the following table when requesting epoxy flooring quotations in Bali. Enter the proposed products, methods, quantities and exclusions for each bidder. An answer of “included” still needs defined limits, particularly where the first price precedes a site survey. This is a comparison tool, rather than an application specification.
| Quotation item | Details to record | Comparison question |
|---|---|---|
| Area and measurement | Zones, floor area, edges and excluded sections | Do both quotations use the same quantities and boundaries? |
| Substrate preparation | Existing coatings, preparation method, dust and cleaning | Is this work included or charged separately? |
| Repairs | Identified concerns and approval of their treatment | How are additional quantities measured and approved? |
| Coating system | Product for each layer, build-up and proposed thickness | Do the product documents suit the intended room use? |
| Execution and handover | Phasing, access restrictions, inspections and reopening | Who confirms readiness for each type of activity? |
4. Example: two apparently similar square-metre prices
Imagine two proposals for the same garage floor area. Proposal A covers application to a ready substrate, while proposal B lists assessment, preparation, limited repairs and application. This is an illustrative comparison, not a BPP project or market-price survey. Before choosing, ask A who prepares the floor and ask B precisely which repairs its allowance covers.
Separate work that cannot yet be quantified. For instance, repairs beneath an existing coating may only be agreed after the area is exposed and measured together. Establish a written approval procedure before additional work proceeds. The final cost can then follow the agreed scope, rather than an assumption that every concealed defect was included.
5. Agree the sample, programme and handover evidence
Request a sample showing colour, sheen and texture, with an agreed way of assessing the finish. Explain cleaning needs and wet conditions to the system provider. The term “slip-resistant” needs defined use and agreed requirements: a particular texture does not guarantee safety under every condition. Discuss the cleaning routine the operator intends to follow.
Separate application dates from permission to walk, move furniture or operate vehicles. Sikafloor-2530 W GL information distinguishes return-to-service stages and explains that environmental conditions affect their timing. Use the schedule for the selected product, then request stage records, material information, a correction list and maintenance instructions at handover. Identify who approves reopening rather than relying on appearance alone.
6. Send BPP your epoxy flooring requirements
For an initial discussion, send the Bali location, estimated area, intended use, floor photographs, observed concerns and preferred dates. State whether you want labour only or labour and materials. BPP can discuss the work requirements and quotation scope; product selection, preparation and execution details need confirmation following assessment of the actual project.
What to send for a quotation
- Bali location, room use, area by zone, overall photographs and close-ups of concerns.
- Survey notes, uninspected areas, testing requirements and the person approving substrate readiness.
- Preparation, repairs, product build-up, exclusions and rules for measuring additional work.
- Approved sample, work phases, access restrictions and product-specific reopening programme.
- Stage records, correction list, maintenance instructions and written handover arrangements.
Questions before work starts
- Does the square-metre rate include substrate preparation and handling the old coating?
- Which products, layer build-up and substrate acceptance criteria form the proposal?
- How is extra work approved when hidden conditions are exposed?
- When can each zone reopen, and who approves its return to service?
