Commercial Construction
I am a distributor of hardwood, and tile, I can get you whatever price range you are looking for, for the floors. We also sell the glue for the hardwood, and the grout for the tile at wholesale. It might help bring your bid down.

Installation costs are quite different from one place to another.
I can give you a example of the base prices I work with in the Midwest.
Ceramic – $2.50 ft. Underlayment $1.10 ft.
Hardwood – $2.50 ft.
Glue down carpet – $6.00 yd.
Laminate – $2.00 ft.
Vinyl – $2.00 ft. Luan – $1.00 ft.
Now, understand that these prices do not apply to every job. They may be high on some or too low on others. They may also need adjusted for your area. To decide if your price is a good one, estimate the time involved. If the base price you are using makes you a lot of money per day, maybe you can afford to cut the price down a little and increase the probability of getting the bid. On the other hand, If the base price gives you a total that isn’t worth your time, either raise the price or work on increasing your speed.
