11. If a ceramic floor is to be installed, it is imperative to assess the existing wood structure, to make sure it can cope with the weight of leveling layer and the ceramic tiles. An accurate cost estimation is only possible with this previous assessment. At this point, based on the onsite observation, both bidders concur that, ideally the floor should be vinyl- or synthetic-based tiles.

The quotation shall be done for ceramic tiles with a leveling coat on the exiting wood structure. If once the old flooring removed, the conclusion is that structural work of reinforcement or switching from ceramic tiles to a vinyl-base product is the preferred solution, some changing to the project can be done with a separate additional work amendment if required.
