e 5309 USA: My clients have taken over a 30,000 s.f. retail furniture space and are converting it to a "mini-mall" with subtenants. The common pedestrian /food court areas shall need a durable flooring material as porcelain tile or granite tile. It is not an upscale space, however, and the budget for the 7000-7500 s.f. areas should somewhat compete with local 12" x 12" porcelain tile. After looking through your web site, China & India appears to have the most competitive prices, but I am uncertain about delivery prices to the Baltimore or tariff fees, if any. It appears that the pink/grey speckled or lighter color granites are less expensive. The clients have not decided upon the flooring finish at this time but need to see samples and prices.

I have obtained a demolition permit and will apply for a building permit in a few weeks. The client hopes to finish his work and open as many subtenant spaces as possible by early summer. There is a loading dock with conveyor used for furniture delivery.

I have not purchased stone for clients before and am therefore subject to mistakes. My main concern is to find reliable suppliers and perhaps you can at least inform me of a supplier's reputation. However, perhaps I can make a little income by seeing that my clients receive good stone products at attractive prices. I design tenant spaces as well as retail buildings with split block, brick, tile and dryvit finishes.

In this vein, one of the subtenants is opening a wedding/photo shop and would like to afford 600 s.f. of marble tiles, ivory color. I was looking at Greek tiles. I shall have many of the other subtenants and hope to combine orders. It would be truly useful if there are hard stone products that can compete with local commercial ceramic flooring tiles in price and durability.
I would then attempt to substitute stone tile for wall and floor finishes where ever possible in as large quantity as possible. Dec 24,
