The motif on this floor is completed by the setting contractor, not by the factory.
Each tile carries an octagon and four black corners. The small square that gives the pattern its name only forms where four tiles meet, which means the drawing depends entirely on how accurately the field is set out. An origin point a few millimetres out of square propagates across the whole floor, and every intersection in the space displays the error.
On a commercial job this is discovered at handover, when the correction cost is the full floor plus the closure to lay it.
Build it into the package: issue a setting-out drawing with the origin point, the direction of the run and the tolerance, and reference it in the finishes schedule rather than leaving it to the tile note. One extra sheet removes the most expensive variable on the floor.
