There hasn't been a job in my 22 years of installing that hasn't required some self leveling under floating floors, and it is REQUIRED by the manufacturer to keep it within specs and to ensure you have their FULL MANUFACTURERS WARRANTY!!
This is also why I don't subcontract for GC's, as they don't respect the processes required to do the job correctly, know or listen to specs from the manufacturers, and don't include allowance for such in their pricing. Plus, they also usually sub out the flooring work for the cheapest option(usually an unskilled guy that doesn't follow directions, let alone manufacturers specs), then add their price on top of that, which ends up costing you 2-3x as much, when it inevitably fails.
