WORKSPACE / QUANTITY PLANNER

Room measurements

Doors & windows

Deduct openings from wall surfaces. Dimensions are per opening.

Include in estimate

Switch off surfaces or a slab for rooms that don't need them.

QUANTITY VISUALIZATION

Area by room

PLAN WITH CONFIDENCE

Estimate. Review. Order carefully.

01

Measure your rooms

Add each rectangular room, its wall height and opening schedule. The estimator clearly shows gross walls and deducted net walls.

02

Set real material assumptions

Enter your tile dimensions and pack sizes, paint coverage and coats, slab thickness and material-specific wastage.

03

Download your quantities

Export a CSV schedule, printable report, SVG comparison chart or a ZIP containing editable source and reporting files.

Planning limitation: This tool uses rectangular room geometry and nominal material consumption. It does not account for wall thickness, structural drawings, cut-pattern complexity, plaster, primer, reinforcement, local measurement standards, or construction-code compliance. Confirm the measured scope and supplier data before purchasing; do not use the nominal mix calculator to specify structural concrete.

Using Construction Quantity Estimator

Estimate quantities for modeled rectangular rooms, apply waste and purchase rounding assumptions, enter optional supplier rates, and export a takeoff schedule.

Workflow

  1. Enter room dimensions and openings, then confirm the modeled surfaces and any optional skirting setting.
  2. Choose material and waste assumptions; inspect source quantities, waste-adjusted amounts, and rounded purchase totals separately.
  3. Enter supplier prices only if needed, review the assumptions, and export the schedule or scenario comparison.

Worked example

Create a rectangular room using measured length and width, add a door opening, and compare a tile order with two waste allowances. Review the calculated area and pack rounding separately before using the schedule to request a supplier quote.

Limits and data handling

This is a preliminary estimator for supported rectangular rooms, not an engineered bill of quantities. Results depend on entered dimensions, opening deductions, waste assumptions, pack sizes, and optional rates. Imperial display does not convert entered currency or supplier prices. Skirting is opt-in for legacy projects. Verify measurements, rates, material coverage, and purchase quantities independently.

Frequently asked questions

Does the estimator convert a supplier price into another currency?

No. Entered rates and currency are carried through as provided; the estimator does not perform currency conversion.

Are the waste-adjusted quantity and purchase quantity the same?

They can differ. The estimator separates the modeled quantity, waste-adjusted order amount, and rounded pack totals; review each before ordering.
