"24 by 48" now counts as a tile size

Sizes written out in words match your multiplier rows the same as sizes typed with an x — which means some large-format work was being quoted low, and now isn't.

"24 by 48" now counts as a tile size

Small fix, real money.

BidCraft matches the finishes on your project — material, tile size, pattern — against the rows in your multiplier tables. Until now it only recognized sizes written with an x: 12x24, 12 × 24, 12" x 24". A size written out the way people actually talk — "24 by 48" — didn't match anything.

That's fixed. All of those spellings land on the same row now.

Why you might see a price go up

Here's the part worth knowing. When a size didn't match a row, that surface got no size premium at all — it priced as if it were ordinary mid-size tile. So a large-format job described in words was quietly being quoted low.

Now it matches, which means if you rebuild a proposal that has a large-format size written out in words, that line can come in higher than it did before. That's the correction, not a surcharge — it's the same number you'd have gotten by typing 24x48 all along.

A few things that keep this contained:

  • Proposals you've already sent don't change. Prices lock in when you send. This only affects proposals you build or regenerate from here on.
  • The common sizes don't move. 12x24 and 12x12 normally sit at 1.00x in your tables, so a typical bathroom sees no change whatsoever.
  • You were already being told. A size that matched nothing showed up as an unmatched-finish warning on the proposal. Those warnings should just quietly stop appearing now.

While we're here

Future Vision picks this up too — a room whose tile size is written in words now gets the size baked into the render instructions, so the picture matches the tile you actually specced.
