Frequently asked questions
Do the material estimates include waste?
Treat each result as the bare quantity unless the calculator shows a waste setting, and order a little more to cover cuts, breakage and mistakes. Around 10% extra is a common allowance for flooring and tile, and more for diagonal layouts.
Which calculators help with a remodel?
Use the paint calculator for walls, the flooring calculator for floors and the concrete calculator for slabs and footings.
Are the cost figures quotes?
No. Prices change by region and supplier. The results are estimates for planning, so confirm quantities and prices with your contractor or supplier before you order.
