Factors involved in polished concrete floors cost
Market value of labor
In the Philippines, the cost of skilled labor for construction range depends on the province or city. As of 2024, construction workers in the Philippines earn a median of Php49.52 per hour. Those with more experience and skill in construction work would require Php68.16 per hour.
Fluctuations in labor costs affects the cost of hiring skilled labor. These are factored in the final contract price for your polished concrete project.
Current condition of your polished concrete project
The cost of Php650 to Php850 per square meter only applies to polished concrete. This assumes your floor already has a concrete floor in place. In case, you still do not have concrete placement, try asking the polished concrete contractor if they can do it. In most cases, seasoned polished concrete contactors have the manpower and knowledge to place concrete. If they cannot, find a contractor with reputable skill in placing concrete because the condition of you concrete floor affects the price of concrete polishing.
The key steps in polishing concrete floors always begin with floor preparation. When the floor is weak, has lots of cracks, or is not flat, the concrete polishing contractor needs to make more repairs and grinding for floor preparation. This incurs additional costs. So make sure the new concrete floor is hard and flat before it is turned over to the polished concrete contractor.
Location of your concrete polishing project
Costs related to location is a factor when the project is not easily accessible. Concrete polishing is an excellent flooring choice for warehouses, commercial stores, offices, hotels, sports complexes, gymnasiums, chapels, showrooms, and private residences.
Projects located in the mountains or those in areas not yet connect to main roads would incur additional costs. Concrete polishing machinery are bulky and difficult to move around, so mobilizing both the manpower and the machines to hard-to-reach areas will be more costly than locations that are each to reach.
Desired outcome: Sheen levels of polished concrete
The sheen level you desire for your polished concrete floor is also a factor. There are four sheen levels you can choose from. Polished concrete with a matte sheen level will display images of objects with a hazy appearance. When the sheen level is satin, the images of objects will have low-luster appearance. A semi-gloss sheen level, on the other hand, reflect objects much clearer. The reflected object is easily identifiable, and the flooring will reflect side and overheard lighting. Finally, the high-gloss sheen level will have a mirror-like look. Images reflected are highly identifiable, and the floor will look wet when it is viewed from different angles.
