Looking at Cost Per Square Footage

If you're looking at a granite top install estimate, it would usually come at a dollar amount per square foot. It seems pretty straightforward, but haven't you wondered how they arrived at that price? Here we look at how the price is calculated and what are the factors that affect the final cost of an installation project.

First, you have to be clear with the contractor as to what the square foot refers to. There are times when it refers to the granite or marble slab to be used in the project. But usually, it is the area of the installation, or the size of your kitchen or countertop.

You calculate for square foot by measuring width and length of the installation area in inches, multiply the values and then divide by 144. That's how you arrive at the square foot size.

Now, the price imposed on that square foot depends on several factors: the price of the granite or marble of your choice, the labor fees, the fabrication costs, the edging fee, and any other cost that a fabricator or contractor would impose on the project. The dollar amount is reached by adding up all of the costs and dividing it by the total square footage of the installation area. This is how you determine the final dollar per square foot price on the estimate.

Knowing this is helpful since you can then make adjustments on the estimate. You can choose different granite and marble slabs for the job if the cost is too high. You can also negotiate on the fabrication and labor costs with the contractor. Knowing the prices also helps you compare estimates between different fabricators and get the best price. The point is, once you know what constitutes an estimate and its relation to square footage, you can make tweaks here and there to get the price that's within your budget range.

Also, knowing the computation ensures that you're paying for what you need, and you'll get what you paid for. This ensures full understanding of the project, which would lessen misunderstandings and wrong expectations after the project is completed.

Educating yourself about square footage and how it's related to your granite or marble installation helps a lot in getting what you want, staying within your budget, and selecting the right fabricator for the job. It may be a bit tedious, but if you do, you will be rewarded with a successful installation.
