How it works

Three steps, and you own the list.

01 — measure

Type in the size

A room, a wall, a roof pitch, a deck. Or draw the floor plan and let it read the dimensions off your own drawing.

02 — count

Get the real list

Not a total — a list. Every item in the units merchants actually sell, waste added and offcuts accounted for.

03 — keep

Hold the whole job

Save each room into a project. Budget, shopping list and tool list update as you go, and export to PDF.

Builder

Design it piece by piece, and get the cut list

Draw a shed, a deck frame, a pergola or an outdoor gym in 3D. Every board is a real stock size at a real length, and the list of what to buy builds itself as you go.

  • A cut list with every length and saw angle
  • What to buy — stock lengths after nesting, not the cut list
  • Screws and post bases counted, and the whole thing priced

Home planner

Draw the plan, then price what goes on it

Draw the rooms at the size they really are. Pick a wall, a floor or a ceiling, tick what goes on it — insulation, plasterboard, paint — and the quantities and the cost come straight off the drawing. Indoors and out.

  • Tick a material and it prices itself from the measurements you drew
  • Doors and windows come out of the wall area, so you budget the wall you will actually cover
  • A running total per wall, per room and for the whole floor
  • Outdoors too — decks, fences, paths and paving

Projects

Keep the whole job in one place

Rooms, calculations and builds land in one project with a running total. Set a budget, track what you actually spend against it, and take the shopping list to the merchant.

  • Every room, calculation and build in one total
  • Set a budget and track real spend against the estimate
  • A shopping list, a schedule and a task board per room
  • Export to PDF, or share the project as a link

All calculators

Use them standalone or save results into your project — your choice.

Structure

What holds the job up6 calculators

Deck / Patio

Plan your deck from the ground up. Calculate decking boards, joists, posts, foundations and all brackets — suited for ground-level or raised construction.

Stud wall

From study to bedroom, or dividing a room. Calculate framing, insulation and plasterboard for interior stud walls.

Timber & lumber

Plan any mix of timber by the linear metre — battens, rafters, lekter, trim and more. Add tape and fasteners automatically.

Fence & picket

Calculate posts, boards and concrete for a driveway gate, garden fence or picket fence. With timber class guide and frost depth information.

Stairs

Calculate steps, materials and handrails for indoor and outdoor stairs to standard building code dimensions.

Foundation

Calculate concrete, rebar and formwork for strip and slab foundations — with frost depth in mind.

Envelope

Keeping the weather out6 calculators

Insulation

Mineral wool, glass wool or EPS — calculate packs, vapour barrier and total cost. With building code references for walls, roofs and floors.

Boards & drywall

Calculate plasterboard sheets for walls and ceilings, including filler, primer and trims around edges and floors.

Boards & cladding

Count boards, waste and fasteners for exterior cladding, interior panelling or flooring — with adjustable gap spacing.

Roof & roofing

Calculate roof area, number of tiles, battens and underlay. Area allowance is calculated automatically from roof pitch.

Facade cladding

Calculate boards, battens, wind barrier and screws for external wall cladding — timber, fibre cement or other systems.

Exterior insulation

Calculate insulation boards, mechanical fixings and rail system for external wall insulation.

Wet trades

Anything mixed with water5 calculators

Concrete

Calculate concrete volume for foundations, pad foundations, columns or slabs. Includes waste allowance and number of bags.

Render & plaster

Calculate base coat, finish coat, reinforcement mesh and primer for rendered facades — mineral, acrylic or silicone systems.

Paving stones

Calculate stones, bedding layer and jointing sand for driveways or patios. Adjustable for frost depth by region.

Floor preparation

Calculate screed, self-levelling compound and primer to get any subfloor flat and ready for the finished floor.

Masonry & brick

Calculate bricks or blocks, mortar and wall ties for garden walls, facades and internal masonry walls.

Surfaces

The part anyone will see4 calculators

Tile laying

Calculate tiles, adhesive, grout and membrane for bathrooms, kitchens and hallways — with waste and building code requirements included.

Paint & surfaces

Find the right amount of paint, primer and coats for walls, ceilings and facades. Adjust for coverage and number of coats.
