The successful selection and installation of commercial flooring, which is typically one of the last elements of a commercial construction project to be addressed, can be a detailed and complex endeavor often conducted under the time pressures and tight budgets that represent today’s fast-track construction environment. The recurring issue for architects, designers, specifiers, contractors, facility managers and building owners is how to simplify the complexities of choosing and installing commercial flooring in order to reduce demands on their time and budgets.
A valuable asset to them can be architect, designer and facility (ADF) consultants affiliated with some of the nation’s leading distributors of flooring and flooring installation products. These professionals, who are generally available free of charge, add value because they are a “one-stop shop,” with the expertise to evaluate a flooring project in its entirety and to identify and troubleshoot technical and logistical problems that may occur. They are knowledgeable about a wide range of flooring and flooring installation products, enabling them to recommend those best suited for a specific project.
