Information for flooring (main shop floor and toilets):
The main shop floor will be covered in carpet tiles. The tiles, including fitting and all
additional items will be costed at £45.00 per square metre. It is advisable that for
wastage an extra 5% square meterage is added.
The stairwell area does not need any flooring.
The kitchen area needs vinyl flooring which is available in 2 metre wide rolls. This will
be costed (including fitting and all additional items at £35.00 per square metre – for
how much needs to be bought).
You are asked to calculate the full cost of the flooring which is to include the carpet tiles for
the shop floor and the vinyl for the toilet area. Outline your calculations and the total cost
