One may include measuring, fabrication, delivery, installation, cutouts, and a standard edge. Another may show only the slab price. Do not compare totals until the scope is equivalent.<\/p><p>Ask each supplier to list:<\/p><ul>\n<li>Material price and pricing basis<\/li>\n<li>Slab size, quantity, thickness, and finish<\/li>\n<li>Measuring, cutting, polishing, seams, and cutouts<\/li>\n<li>Installation and delivery<\/li>\n<li>Freight, crating, local handling, or storage<\/li>\n<li>Edge profiles, backsplashes, and waterfall panels<\/li>\n<li>Support brackets or substrate preparation<\/li>\n<li>Tear-out and disposal, if needed<\/li>\n<li>Sales tax and regional surcharges<\/li>\n<li>Change-order, cancellation, and damage terms<\/li>\n<\/ul><p>Thickness, slab format, project access, design complexity, and seam count can affect the installed price. A larger slab may reduce seams but increase handling or freight. A strongly veined pattern may require more layout planning and create more waste. Ask the contractor to explain each adjustment in writing.<\/p><p>After the quotes are normalized, negotiation becomes more precise. Instead of asking only for a lower total, ask whether the supplier can revise freight, change an edge detail, offer an equivalent in-stock slab, or hold the quoted price through the approval date.
