Common admin headaches

  • Square metre pricing varies with layout complexity and substrate condition.
  • Prep work is often underestimated or omitted from quick quotes.
  • Wet area jobs need careful stage wording around surface preparation and sequencing.
  • Tile and trim selections can change mid-job, affecting final billing clarity.
