Granite Countertops - Training & Tools?

[hakrjak]

I recently got a quote for Granite Countertops for the flip I'm working, and I was astonished. Here's how it broke down:

Materials: $352.80
Installation: $1818.00
Labor to undermount sink: $200.00

So it's almost all labor... $2000 worth....

The guy said that some of his regular builder/flipper customers do buy the stuff from them and then install it themselves for big savings, but I'm wondering how to get my crew the right training / tools to be able to do this.

Anybody that has done it before please respond with your reco's, as I'm googling and haven't found much so far... I'm also asking my guy at the Granite place if he knows anyone local...

Cheers,

- Hakrjak
