I have about 7500 sqft of new VCT tile that needs waxed. Light construction debris & scuffs. How many hours should this take a team of 2? This is the biggest project we’ve had to date and we’re using a new chemical.

How do you plan to tackle it? What will be your process?

Top scrub with a neutral cleaner. I’ve used a red pad in the past but after doing more research I should be using a green or blue. 3 Coats of wax. One person scrubbing ahead while the other starts waxing.

Vacuum everything up, mop with water

"How many hours should this take a team of 2?" When costing a job type that is new to me I look at what machinery we will use and look at the manufacturer's claimed productivity, and couple that with industry productivity charts. We have found they usually overstate by about 100%, so it will take us at least double the time.
For that size of job we would be using an auto scrubber.
