I've had people call my office many times asking for a square foot price.
I don't have one. I won't ever give one.

I measure the job, determine the cost of materials and construction methods I am going to use and the TOTAL amount of time I am going to spend doing the job.

If you want to come up with a "square foot" price based on that, fine.

I can set 3-400 square feet of ceramic 12x12 floor tile over a flawless, wide open, surface in a day, no problem.
Add surface defects, door ways, hall ways, cabinets, floor registers, walls out of square, diagonal layout, etc, and I may not even get 100 feet down.

Bidding by the square foot is what a production shop will do.
Fast work is usually low quality.
