You have decided to carpet three rooms in your house, so I want you to treat this assignment as if you are actually going to go through the decision-making process of developing a plan and executing that plan. You will draw a floor plan of one story of your house (in case you have multiple levels) and identify three rooms where you will lay carpet. Measure the dimensions of those three rooms to calculate the area of each room.
Next, go to the websites of three local businesses to get unit prices of carpet. The businesses should be local, because you would not buy carpet from Ohio and have it installed. You will select a carpet that you would actually like to have installed in your house, not the first carpet you see on the website. Also, the quotes should be price per square foot or price per square yard, so you can calculate the cost to buy the carpet. Your work must be shown. You will also need to get prices of padding, installation, and any other fees or costs in order to make an informed decision.
After you calculate the square footage, the cost of the carpet, and the total amount you will have to spend after the supplies and installation, you will make your decision. That decision is to choose one of the three businesses. Give a reasonable explanation of why you decided to go with your carpet selections and business. Price is an important consideration, but it is not the only one. In your explanation identify other considerations in addition to price and explain how those factors contribute to your final decision.
Instructions:
- Using plain paper or graph paper, draw a scale floor plan of your house using a straight edge (one story will suffice if you have more than one).
- Choose three rooms in your floor plan where you will plan to lay carpet, measure the dimensions of those chosen rooms, and label those dimensions on your floor plan.
- Visit the websites of three local businesses to get quotes for carpeting the three rooms you chose, and list those quotes and businesses here. You would not hire someone out of town or out of state to install carpet, so the businesses must be local. The quotes must be per square foot or per square yard, not final quotes. Screenshots must be included to prove the actual costs.
- Calculate the amount you would pay for the carpet and labor for each of the three quotes (answers without work will not be accepted), choose the business you would use to purchase and lay the carpet, and justify your decision.
- Scan your paper and upload that scan as an attachment to this assignment. The acceptable file formats are pdf, doc, an docx. It is your responsibility to ensure your submission is clear and easy to read. Verify your image is well-lit, in-focus, and you wrote darkly enough.
- The organization of the floor plan and work shown should be neat and well-organized, preferably typed, not handwritten. You will upload one file, not multiple files, that is well-organized and easy to follow.
