Victorian floor tiles - Tile Advice

No it’s a one off drawing, I do one for every job I do

I just get the customer to pick the field and border. I've had a original style cad before and they're pointless imo

Yes the customer picks field and border, but I still do drawing so I can show them how it will look and so I know where to start and finish. Also so I can count how many individual tiles they need

I don't think the drawings do the jobs justice. I imagine you triple check your measurements on the floor anyway? The drawings are a waste of time I think but each to their own and I imagine some customers like the effort

Also that’s not a bad idea about an overlay, as I said original style cad useless

Yes I do check measurements on floor, and customers do like to see layout. Also I can charge for drawing

Wow, awesome drawings. How do you manage this? Do you scale it down with a ruler etc

Yes I workout the size of the tiles and how many fit best in the area allowing for the boarder. Any discrepancies are taken up by the tile against the wall

Yes please.

I am looking at getting it done down my drive way and running through my hall and into the kitchen. There are all kinds of door recesses to figure out how to work so seeing this is inspiring.

Thought I would try sketchup
