Estimate, then verify
Turn dimensions into a more useful shopping quantity
The estimator separates the measured requirement, waste allowance and purchasing unit, making it easier to compare products and discuss the job with a supplier or installer.
Check the product
Coverage, pack size, bag yield, tile batch and board dimensions must come from the specific product you plan to buy.
Allow for the layout
Patterns, diagonal cuts, corners, breakage and future repairs can justify a larger allowance than a simple rectangular installation.
Questions answered
Home material estimator FAQ
Are these quantities suitable for ordering materials?
They are planning estimates. Confirm all measurements, coverage information and waste requirements with the selected product, supplier or qualified installer before ordering.
What waste allowance should I use?
Simple layouts may need 5–10%. Tiles, flooring, wallpaper and decking with patterns or many cuts can require 10–15% or more. Follow the manufacturer’s and installer’s guidance.
Does the concrete estimate cover structural design?
No. It estimates material volume only. Structural slabs, footings, reinforcement, drainage and load requirements need appropriate plans and qualified advice.
Does Utilaroo save my project dimensions?
No. The calculations run locally in your browser and the dimensions are not submitted to Utilaroo.
