A room layout sets the design direction; a cutting order identifies the pieces to be supplied. We connect the requested finished sizes to the chosen tile series and bring the supplier’s feasibility response into a piece-by-piece quotation.
| Production decision | What enters the supply order |
|---|---|
| Source tile | Manufacturer or series reference, color, surface, nominal format and available product information. Sample and batch requirements stay connected to that product reference. |
| Finished pieces | Piece reference, finished length and width, quantity and any orientation requirement. Dimensions use one stated unit throughout the schedule. |
| Edges and appearance | Edges that will remain visible, edges concealed by adjoining work and any requested finishing. The supplier reviews the proposed edge treatment for the selected material. |
| Processing and packing | Feasible cuts, the agreed dimensional basis, cutting quantity and packing arrangement. Product supply, processing and spare pieces are distinguishable in the quotation. |
A repeated format can be reviewed for a floor, wall or feature area where the available tile size differs from the design. We coordinate the finished-size schedule with the source tile dimensions, pattern direction and requested quantity. The supplier’s cutting proposal establishes the processing and material basis.
Tile Design & SelectionCut strips and perimeter pieces need their own dimensions and quantities. We identify visible edges and the relationship to adjoining tiles or trims, then request a feasibility and finishing proposal. Repeated pieces are grouped by reference so the installer can identify the supplied sizes.
Material Samples & Mock-Up ApprovalsCutting decisions follow the actual tile selected. We coordinate the processing request with the supplier’s product information and use a sample when the finished appearance needs a physical review.
The available tile’s working dimensions affect which pieces can be obtained from it. We identify the requested finished size separately from nominal product size. The cutting quotation states the agreed dimensional and tolerance requirements for supplier review.
For a directional design, each requested piece includes its orientation. The review identifies which faces or adjacent pieces need visual coordination. Source-tile pattern variation remains part of the selection discussion, with relevant samples used to establish the desired appearance.
An exposed cut edge may have a different appearance from the original factory edge. We identify where edges will show and coordinate available finishing or matching trim options. A requested sample can resolve that choice before the repeated pieces are processed.
We organize the processing request around the selected product and a consistent piece schedule. The local installation layout provides the basis for the final piece dimensions and joint allowance.
| Buyer input | Information to supply | How we use it |
|---|---|---|
| Tile selection | Series, color, surface, source format and available sample or product reference. | Lets the supplier review processing suitability and connect the cut pieces to the intended appearance. |
| Piece list | Finished dimensions, units, quantity by reference and a drawing for any orientation or edge requirement. | Forms the cutting and pricing schedule. We identify missing dimensions and ambiguous references before the supplier prepares the proposal. |
| Installation layout | The installer’s finalized layout, joint allowance and locations where cut edges will show. | Connects the requested finished pieces to the actual installation. Layout changes return to the affected piece references before cutting proceeds. |
| Delivery and spares | Destination, receiving sequence and the requested spare quantities. | Guides packing and identification. Spares are counted separately so the order distinguishes installed pieces from replacements held for later use. |
We bring the supplier’s processing response back to the buyer before the cut order is released. The final schedule keeps the material, dimensions, orientation and quantity together.
The supplier reviews the source product, finished sizes and edge requirements. We relay feasible processing options and identify any dimensions or details that need adjustment.
Where required, a cut or finished-edge sample addresses the specific appearance decision. The quotation identifies source material, processing, sample work, quantities and packing so the buyer can review the complete order.
The accepted piece schedule becomes the processing reference. We coordinate order follow-up and the agreed identification and packing arrangement. A later revision is reviewed against the material and processing already committed.
Tile Design & Selection can develop the visual layout and material choice. This service begins with the selected tile and the piece dimensions to be reviewed for processing.
The quote separates the source material from the work needed to supply the requested pieces. The cutting arrangement, finish requirements and quantities determine the actual proposal.
GEORGE Buildings supports tile selection and reviews cutting or custom-format requests for the chosen product. NOVARMIA coordinates the requested piece sizes, supplier feasibility response and processing quotation within your tile order.
Explore Tile CollectionsYes. Share the selected tile series, requested finished dimensions and quantities. We refer the request for supplier feasibility and pricing, including any processing or edge treatment needed for the intended application.
Use finished piece dimensions in a consistent unit, with a unique reference and quantity for each size. Include orientation and visible-edge information. The local installer’s finalized layout determines how joints and adjoining finishes are accounted for.
Identify each visible edge in the request. We review the proposed appearance and available finishing or trim options with the supplier. A sample can help decide the edge treatment for the selected tile body and surface.
Record the intended direction for each piece reference. We coordinate that information with the supplier’s source-tile pattern and variation. Where adjacent pieces need visual coordination, identify the relationship in the layout and sample review.
List the spare quantity you and your installer want for each finished size. We carry those pieces as separate quantities in the processing request and review their effect on source material and packing.
Send the affected piece references and revised dimensions promptly. The supplier reviews the change against material preparation and cutting already completed. We return the resulting cost and schedule effects for your approval.
