Contamination, prior coatings, damage, cracks, joints, access and job history. Record findings and questions instead of assuming the slab is ready.

Compare removal and profiling goals, and match tooling and methods to the slab and the coating system's documented requirements.

Machine components, edge work, tooling wear, dust-extraction connections and equipment inspection, following the equipment maker's instructions and site safety.

Moisture history, screening tools, specified test methods, documentation and system compatibility, using current manufacturer guidance rather than a universal limit.

Plan repairs, cleaning, inspection and readiness records. Identify allowances and how to talk to the customer when conditions change.

Intended use, color samples, transitions, edges, access and existing slab conditions. Record what the proposal includes and excludes.

Connect assessment, grinding, repairs, cleaning and moisture evaluation with the system's requirements. Plan dust control and protection.

Use measured areas and published coverage to plan materials. Coordinate work zones, mixing, equipment and application windows.

Broadcast methods for the system you picked, consistent coverage, edges, handling excess and inspection before finishing.

Scraping, cleaning and topcoat prep, final checks, cure restrictions, maintenance guidance and customer communication.

The space, lighting, use, samples and acceptable variation, turned into a written finish brief so the customer knows what a decorative floor looks like.

Existing coatings, contamination, repairs, grinding and moisture. Identify the product documents and testing needed before install.

Compatible layers, base-coat intent, tools, quantities, work zones and crew roles, with current technical and safety data.

Sample-based color placement and pattern development, working time, batch consistency and sequencing.

Finish selection, inspection, manufacturer cure and return-to-service requirements, maintenance and handoff.

Rooms, usable area, edges, access, slab conditions and customer priorities. State assumptions and exclusions before the proposal.

Material quantities from current coverage guidance, plus labor, equipment, waste, prep, overhead and contingencies.

Markup and margin, proposal clarity, payment milestones and change documentation, using example scenarios, not prescribed prices.

Purchasing and staging checklist, crew responsibilities, work sequence, readiness checks and a plan for surprises.

Customer updates, scope changes, final inspection, care instructions, punch lists and handoff, then estimated versus actual to sharpen the next bid.
