What determines Concretta application cost?
Concretta application cost cannot be described accurately with one fixed square-metre figure. Two projects of the same size can require different levels of labour and material because of substrate condition, preparation, surface geometry, detailing and site conditions.
A reliable assessment therefore begins with the approximate area together with information about the existing surface, intended use and project details. The objective is not simply to state a unit price, but to define the correct scope of work for the surface.
1. Application area and quantity
Floors, walls, stairs and fixed surfaces each require a different working sequence. Total area affects material planning, team organisation and the overall application programme.
2. Condition of the existing substrate
Before application, the substrate is assessed for stability, flatness, moisture and the nature of any existing finish. A new, even surface does not require the same scope of work as a surface that needs repairs, levelling or additional preparation.
3. Surface preparation and detailing
Depending on the project, grinding, local repairs, levelling, adhesion preparation or additional detailing in areas subject to movement may be required. Wet areas, junctions and transitions between different materials also need to be assessed. As preparation becomes more involved, application time and scope change accordingly.
4. Geometry, corners and junctions
A large uninterrupted surface does not require the same labour as an area with numerous corners, niches, steps, returns or fixed furniture details. Smaller but detail-intensive areas may demand more precision and working time.
5. Use and site conditions
Interior or exterior exposure, expected intensity of use, working hours, access, coordination with other trades and whether the area can remain clear during application all influence project planning. These conditions are considered alongside material quantities when a quotation is prepared.
What information is needed for a quotation?
For a more accurate assessment, the following project information is usually sufficient:
Using this information, the scope of work can be defined first; surface preparation, application stages and site conditions can then be evaluated together before a quotation is prepared.
