Why won’t the granite yard tell me the price of just the slab?
Your project is determined by many factors other than the material
cost: How many polished edges; how many cutouts; if you have a top
mount or an under mount sink; if your material has movement, and the
waste factor. Every job has a waste factor. Slabs come in all
different sizes so square foot costs can be deceiving. The waste
factor may be higher on a less expensive per-square-foot material
than it is on a more expensive material. On an average, the material
cost ranges from 15-25% of the overall cost of the project. A similar
analogy is comparing the cost of cabinetry. You may know that one
type of wood is more expensive than another, but what you really want
to know is the cost of the finished cabinet that has the details you
prefer.
