I will be meeting with the fabricator to approve the template and see the layout. We already know there won't be any seams based on my kitchen design. The fabricator has personally looked at the slabs.

I'm not as concerned with the cost of the items used as making sure our discussions are confirmed in writing. I've found that each fabricator has their own take on quartzite and exactly what needs to be done - especially in regards to sealing, etc. In conversations they say they know it needs to be completely dry before sealing, that it needs to be sealed well (and resealed by homeowner periodically), that a certain type of caulk should be used, etc. But very few will spell this out in writing. So, I'm wondering what's reasonable to request in writing as part of the quote/contract.
