Terrazzo polishing in Kenya: Records and Planning Worksheets
Keep evidence that answers a real operating question
For terrazzo polishing, the record should connect the promised output, its cost and the buyer's acceptance. Begin with:
Record existing patches, trial results, machine time and edge labour, then use the pilot to set a realistic finish expectation for the whole terrazzo surface.
An order and acceptance record
| Field | What to enter |
|---|---|
| Output and exclusions | Inspect the terrazzo's condition and previous treatments, agreeing a test area and separating polishing from crack repair or structural concerns needing an appropriate specialist. |
| Sale unit | square metre |
| Acceptance check | Judge the dried test section under the site's normal lighting, checking finish consistency and edges before agreeing how much improvement can reasonably be expected. |
| Missed-cost check | Include machine transport, edge work, residue handling and staged access, because broad open areas and cluttered occupied rooms offer very different polishing productivity. |
| Failure to investigate | A glossy centre contrasts with dull edges and visible old repairs, leaving the client disappointed because the agreed finish standard covered only the easiest test area. |
Add the date, private customer reference, agreed price, advance, balance, promised handover and actual acceptance. Record a change before carrying it out. An unresolved complaint needs its own action and follow-up date rather than being overwritten by the next order.
A supplier and cost record
For each required input, record the specification, quantity, supplier identity, quote date, delivered cost, payment terms and reason for selection. Match the record to the receipt and inspect what arrived. Keep one-time setup, recurring inputs and refundable deposits in separate categories so that the same cash movement is not counted twice.
A weekly review
Compare accepted output with started output; reconcile money collected with outstanding balances; investigate rework and returns. Review whether measured capacity can meet the next commitment. A positive surplus estimate does not remove a shortage of cash caused by late collection.
Use sources within their stated scope
- KenInvest eProcedures — Online contractor registration — Government procedural reference for contractor registration, not a fee quote or blanket classification of every small job. Reference recorded 2026-10-26.
- DOSHS — Registration and Renewal of Workplaces — Official workplace-registration procedure; confirm applicability and current requirements directly with DOSHS. Reference recorded 2026-10-26.
These references route sector and activity questions. They do not independently establish local customer demand, supplier stock, a complete budget or business profitability. A reference date records the earlier check; it is not a claim that every linked requirement was reverified today.

These recorded references support only their stated scope. They do not establish current supplier stock, actual local demand, operator competence or complete commercial feasibility. Preserve source dates and record new checks separately.
Match the evidence to a decision
| Decision question | Business-specific record to retain |
|---|---|
| Was the input fit for use? | Ask who controls dust/slurry and what finish/traction evidence is supplied. |
| Was the work acceptable? | Recorded cracks and embedded stains remain visible exceptions; finish is not a structural certification. |
| What remains unresolved? | Proposed job has not been field tested or independently reviewed by a practising operator. |
