Commercial Tile and Stone Estimating Services
Tribuild takes off tile and stone by product and location: floors, walls, and wet areas quantified by area with the full setting-bed system, waterproofing, crack-isolation, grout, and trims carried so nothing under the tile gets missed.
Tile and stone margins live in what's under the tile. Tribuild takes off tile and stone by product and location (floors, walls, and wet areas by area) and carries the full system beneath each: setting bed, waterproofing, crack-isolation, grout, and trims, so the scope that drives labor and material isn't left off the bid.
Natural stone, large-format panels, and mosaics are separated because they carry different setting labor, movement joints and edge profiles are quantified by linear foot, and every deliverable ships with color-coded plans and documented assumptions your team can price with confidence.

Frequently asked questions
Finish plans and schedule, tile/stone specifications, enlarged wet-area plans and elevations, and any pattern or layout details. These let us carry setting systems and waterproofing correctly.
Yes. In wet areas and over crack-prone substrates, membranes are quantified by area as their own line under the tile scope.
By area with edge, thickness, and finish noted, plus the specified setting system; stone carries different setting labor than ceramic or porcelain.
Yes, metal edge profiles, transitions, and movement joints are carried by linear foot against the layout.
