Your builder quoted for flooring. Take it, compare it, or wait?
Builder flooring is convenient: floors down on day one, no fitters in your new home. Here's how to tell whether that convenience is worth the price you've been quoted.
The decision has two parts. When to do it: some flooring is easier before you move in. Who to buy it from: the builder, or an independent fitter after you've compared.
Before you answer the builder
- Ask exactly which rooms and which product the price covers.
- Check whether underlay, door bars and trims are included.
- Get one independent installed quote for the same rooms and product.
- Check the deadline: builder options often close at a set build stage.
