In this guide, we’ll walk you through using the Quote Builder so you can get a personalised flooring estimate in minutes.
Why Use the Quote Builder?
We have simplified the complicated process of getting a flooring quote. Instead of waiting for callbacks or in-home measure and quotes, the Quote Builder allows you to select the specific flooring you want and instantly calculate the price based on your room dimensions. This tool is especially valuable if you’re looking to compare multiple options or establish a budget before starting your renovation.
Step-by-Step Guide to Using the Quote Builder
Step 1: Visit the Collections
Start by visiting our Quote Builder Tool or browse our huge range of contemporary floor coverings from Hybrid and vinyl flooring to engineered timber. Find a range and colour which suits your flooring needs in terms of design, performance and budget. From lighter shades like to richer, darker tones, you’ll find a range of styles and finishes that will complement any room aesthetic.
Step 2: Choose Your Desired Floor Style
If exploring via our collection pages, scroll through the options and click on the flooring style that catches your eye. Each product page offers detailed information about the type of materials, its unique finish, and available sizes. You can also view high-definition images of the flooring in your room using the Room Visualiser, making it easier to imagine how it might look in your space.
Step 3: Measure Up & Enter Your Room Dimensions
Firstly, you may need to measure the square meter area of each room. This can be done by simply multiplying the width and length of your room. If you need an extra hand you can click ‘Show me How’ in the quote builder to watch a short instructional video on how to measure your space. Now you’ve measured up, enter the dimensions of your first room in square meters. You’ll be able to adjust the quantity or coverage area to allow for the standard 10% wastage or any additional requirements.
Step 4: Customise Additional Options
The Quote Builder allows for several additional customisations, depending on the flooring you’ve selected. For example, some timber options may include underlay choices, or installation materials that can influence the final price. Make sure to review these options and select those that best suit your project needs and desired finish.
Step 5: Get Your Instant Quote
After entering all necessary details, the Quote Builder will calculate an instant quote. This estimate includes the cost of materials and any selected add-ons, giving you a clear idea of the budget you’ll need for your project.
Helpful Tips for Using the Quote Builder
- Double-check your measurements: Measure your room carefully to avoid under- or over-estimating the flooring you need.
- Consider extra material for cuts: If your space has unique angles or features, order a little extra material to ensure you don’t run short.
- Compare products: Try using the Quote Builder for multiple flooring types to compare costs, styles, and other factors.
- Explore your installation options: It’s best to have decided how to install your floor before starting the quote builder. When choosing timber flooring you may have the option to either float the floor or glue it direct to the subfloor. This will affect what accessories you add within the Quote Builder.
