QUARTZ: OVERSIZE PIECE CHARGE

S A F E T Y

• There is liability or risk to fabricate, transport/carry, and install a single piece of countertop that is greater than 20 sq. ft. The size and weight of a countertop piece of this size isn’t incorporated into the standard program costs. The additional charge is to account for the fabricator/installer’s varying costs to execute a single piece of this size. • Additional Labor Costs vary depending on the fabrication facility. These costs may include an additional employee on the job site and/or an additional employee to fabricate. • Material Waste is higher when pieces of this size are used. Seam placement may force our fabricators to use an additional slab of material to complete the job, resulting in larger wastes and higher material costs.

PLEASE NOTE:

One piece at 20 sq. ft. is almost ½ of a regular sized quartz slab, and at approx. 15lbs per square foot, that’s 300lbs.
