Insta Quotes plans are billed in AUD: Tier 1 $29 AUD, Tier 2 $59 AUD and Tier 3 $99 AUD a month. New accounts start with a free 7-day trial, capped at 7 quotes in total rather than per month, with no credit card required, so floor layers in New Zealand can quote before paying.
What should a New Zealand flooring quote include?
Preparation, material, laying and finishing go on separate lines, with the product named by range and grade and 15% GST shown alongside your NZBN and IRD GST number. Preparation is where flooring quotes go wrong: uplifting and disposing of the old floor covering, levelling, and any subfloor repair are separate jobs from laying, and quoting a single per-square-metre rate makes them yours for free. Allow and state a wastage percentage, note whether furniture moving and scotia or skirting replacement is included, and give the client the drying or curing times so they know how long they are out of the room.
What should I check before laying over a concrete slab in New Zealand?
Moisture, and in writing. A slab that looks dry can still be releasing moisture, and moisture coming up through a slab will lift a timber or resilient floor and void the manufacturer’s warranty — so a test before laying is the cheapest insurance on the job. Quote the moisture test as its own line with a threshold stated, and say what happens if the reading is too high: a surface damp-proof membrane, a longer wait, or both, priced as a variation. New Zealand’s damp winters and the number of houses with unvented subfloors make this a live issue rather than a formality, and a floor that cups six months after handover is remembered as the floor layer’s fault regardless of what the slab was doing.
Does the AI know New Zealand flooring pricing?
Yes. Quotes are priced in NZD against current New Zealand rates — carpet and underlay, vinyl and hybrid planks, engineered and solid timber, laminate, levelling compound and subfloor preparation, and sanding and refinishing existing native timber — with 15% GST applied rather than Australia’s 10%. Restoration work is priced as a real category rather than an afterthought, because in New Zealand housing there is often a rimu or matai floor under the carpet worth more than anything you could lay over it.
How should I quote sanding and refinishing an old native timber floor?
As a repair job with a finish on the end, not as a sanding rate. Under the carpet of a mid-century New Zealand house is usually rimu or matai, and what determines the price is what has happened to it since: nail holes and staple lines, boards cut for old plumbing, gaps that need filling, and borer. House borer is the timber pest that matters here, and boards it has been through may need treatment or replacement — which is carpentry, priced separately. Quote an inspection and lift of a small area first where you can, state the number of cuts and the finish and its coats, and be explicit that boards found unsound are replaced at a stated rate. Never quote a floor you have only seen through carpet.
