Can I price grind and seal and full polish on the same job?

Yes. Measure each area on its own layer, such as the living areas polished and the garage ground and sealed, so the totals for each finish stay separate.

How do I price edge grinding?

Run the Perimeter tool around the walls and fixed joinery. Edges are slower to grind than the open floor, so the length lets you price them at their own rate.

Can I measure joints and cracks to fill?

Yes. Trace saw cuts, control joints and cracks with the Measure tool to get the total length to fill before you grind.

Why polished concrete installers choose MetreMate

Polished concrete installers use MetreMate to measure slabs straight from the plans before the first grind. Trace each floor with the Area tool, run the Perimeter tool for edge grinding along the walls, measure joints and cracks to fill, and keep grind and seal, full polish and each aggregate exposure on its own layer, so every finish is priced at its own rate. It runs in your browser, so there is nothing to print and nothing to install.
