Begin with the operational brief
Describe the business activity, foot and vehicle traffic, equipment, spill exposure and cleaning products. Include any specification supplied by your designer, landlord or facility manager. The contractor should confirm which requirements their proposed system addresses and identify anything outside their scope.
Make the quote comparable
Request a marked area plan, preparation allowances, repair scope, coating build-up and edge or joint details. Removal of stock, protection of adjacent finishes and waste handling should be allocated clearly. Any optional line marking or floor identification needs its own described inclusion.
Treat reopening as part of the job
Discuss trading restrictions, ventilation, work-zone separation and the period before shelves or equipment return. Ask for the intended sequence and handover instructions. An opening date should be checked against preparation findings and system curing requirements before you make promises to customers.
Questions about commercial epoxy flooring.
Can the work be done outside trading hours?
Put your available work windows in the enquiry. After-hours attendance, repeat visits and curing time still need confirmation; the floor may remain unavailable after the application work is finished.
Do you arrange floors for food premises?
You can describe the requirement, but specialist suitability must be confirmed. Include the facility's written requirements; do not assume an ordinary garage coating meets a food-production specification.
