our soapstone took a couple of hours and they used a laser for templating.

Thanks, lauriec. Bumping in case anyone else has any input.

Our granite took about an hour to template with a 9 foot island and two counters, one 9 foot long and the other 10 feet long.

Reschedule one or the other. Trades do NOT appreciate bumpting butts in each other's way.

1 to 2 hours is what my fabbers take with the laser. They have a few pages of forms that the customer must initial (to verify color, edge, overhang, sink reveal, cutouts, faucet drilling, seam locations....etc). You will not want to be in a hurry or get flustered.

Take Livewireoak's advice and reschedule one of them. Even if you schedule them to start a few hours apart, things can go wrong and they can be late...which would upset your flooring installers. For them, time is money. Plan for a different day altogether.

M. Teixeira took about 15 minutes with our kitchen. I was amazed at how fast it went.

Thanks for all the input. I will adjust the schedule so I don't have workers interfering with each other.
