The problem
Flooring margins disappear when consumables and prep aren’t explicitly quoted
Waste allowance varies by flooring type and room geometry. Underlay, gripper, threshold bars, and adhesive are small per item but collectively absorb real margin. Subfloor prep creates disputes unless it's written down before work starts. And stair fitting takes far longer per square metre than flat laying — but it's often charged at the same rate. CostForge gives flooring contractors the structure to quote every variable accurately.

Frequently asked questions
Questions from flooring contractors evaluating quoting software
- Can I quote each room separately?
- Yes. CostForge lets you structure a project room by room, with separate flooring specifications, quantities and labour for each area.
- Can I include subfloor preparation in the quote?
- Yes. Levelling compound, ply overlay, adhesive removal and other prep can be separate line items before fitting work starts.
- Can I price stairs differently from flat flooring?
- Yes. Stairs can be treated as their own section or labour item so the quote reflects the extra fitting time.
- Can I save flooring quote templates?
- Yes. Save repeat packages for LVT, carpet, wood flooring or commercial installs, then edit the imported quote for each job.

The solution
Built for the way flooring contractors actually price work
Room-by-Room Line Items
Quote each room separately with its own flooring specification, quantity, underlay type, gripper, and threshold bars. Roll up to a project total or present room-by-room for phased installations.
Subfloor Prep as a Separate Section
Levelling compound, ply overlay, grinding of old adhesive, and nail removal each as their own costed line. Clients see what prep is required before the new floor goes down — no disputes on site.
Stairs at the Correct Rate
Stair carpeting takes significantly longer per m² than flat-floor laying. Set a stair fitting rate and CostForge applies it automatically to stair areas — stop losing margin on every staircase.
Consumables as Explicit Costs
Underlay, gripper rod, threshold bars, door ramps, adhesive, and tack strips — each on their own line. Small individually, significant collectively. None absorbed into your fitting rate.
Supply-and-Fit or Labour-Only
Use the same system to quote supply-and-fit with a full materials schedule, or labour-only for developers and commercial clients. Present clearly — no ambiguity about what's included.
Before & after
What changes when flooring contractors use CostForge
Hallway carpet undercharged — stairs fitted at the same per-m² rate as flat areas, taking twice as long
Stairs have their own fitting section with a higher per-m² rate. Labour cost is accurate. Margin is protected on every carpeted staircase.
Levelling compound needed before LVT — client refuses to pay for it because it wasn't on the quote
Levelling compound area, quantity, and cost quoted as a prep section before the LVT line. Client approved it in writing before work started.
Commercial flooring job needs a formal quote to go through procurement — lost to a competitor who sent a PDF
Branded PDF sent with full room schedule, subfloor prep, flooring specification, and labour. Procurement approves it and raises a purchase order.
