About BuildAmounts

BuildAmounts is being built to make project planning simpler: enter your measurements, choose your units, and get practical material quantities you can use before buying supplies.

What we are building

Our calculators cover home improvement, building materials, landscaping, measurements and project costs. The site is designed for both metric and US customary units so it can be useful in many countries.

How we approach calculations

We aim to show the assumptions, formulas and waste allowances behind each result instead of presenting a number with no explanation. Real projects can vary, so calculator results should be treated as estimates and checked against product instructions, local requirements and professional advice where appropriate.
