How it's calculated (visible formula)
total = Σ(area × $/m² per chapter)
- Net geometric measurement, no waste.
- Adjustable waste % for cuts and breakage.
- Purchase rounded up to sellable units (boxes, bags, buckets, boards).
Worked example: 1,000 sq ft home
- 5 chapters × $/m²
- Sum ≈ range
→ Indicative range + recommended 10% contingency.
Common mistakes
- Taking the range as a fixed price.
- Forgetting permits and contingency.
