Granite Questions. (Price, and stuff...)

[Manuel A.]

I went around town trying to get good deals on granite and this is the best I got:

I can get 2cm, nice looking granite, which I plan using for the bathrooms, for $8.95/sqft (that's not a mistake!) which includes cuts and edging. No installation.

I can get 3cm, nice looking granite, which I plan using for the kitchen, for $36/sqft with cuts and edging. No installation.

I plan installing with the use of my contractors.

I have three questions:

1. Am I getting good prices?
2. Do you usually install with your contractors?
3. What price do you get, and what does it include?

Thanks,
-Manuel

IMO the sink cut should be a fixed price, and shouldn't affect the sq.ft cost of the granite + installation. It makes no sense for it to affect the price you pay for all the other sq.ft of non sink counter space.
