craftquantities.com

Finds Craft Quantities pages for a construction question in US, UK or Australian words — how much concrete, drywall, paint, tile, gravel or lumber; a takeoff for a deck, slab or roof; a worked example; a defect diagnosis such as a tripping breaker — and returns the matching pages: id, kind, title, link, description and slug.

Reads one Craft Quantities page in full as plain text, by id: a construction calculator's inputs, units, opening values and sources; a takeoff's measurements and build-up choices; a worked example's steps; or a defect diagnosis's causes, checks and when to call a professional.

Describes ONE published construction calculator, chosen by its slug (concrete, drywall, paint, tile, roofing …): each input's id, label, the units it accepts, the value its page opens on in metric and US customary, its range and options, with the calculator's version, page and citation.

Runs ONE published Craft Quantities calculator, chosen by its slug, on the figures given: how many bags of concrete, sheets of drywall or plasterboard, tiles, bricks, studs, litres or gallons of paint, tonnes of gravel, cubic yards or m³ a job takes.

How many cubic yards in 2 m³, square feet in 30 m², litres in 5 gallons, kPa in 50 psi?

Where does a figure come from, and how is it cited?

Returns a link that opens a construction calculator's page on craftquantities.

What does the takeoff for a concrete slab, framed wall, deck, bathroom, roof or fence ask for?

What materials does a whole job take: a concrete slab, a framed wall, a deck, a bathroom, a roof, a fence?

How is an estimate put together?

Re-runs every pinned step of a worked construction estimate now, in both unit systems, and returns whether each still meets the published figure.

Is a builder's quote right on quantities?

How much material for a whole house?

What does the room planner need for a room, bathroom, slab, deck, driveway, fence, loft, retaining wall, exterior wall or stair?

What materials does a room, bathroom, deck, patio slab, driveway, fence, loft, retaining wall or stair need?

Materials for a renovation or extension of several rooms: up to 12 spaces (rooms, bathrooms, slabs, decks …) and a roof over them, planned together in one planner model, with each space's rows, every line together, labour hours and the plan.

Draws a plan on the Construction Canvas — a room with doors and windows, a deck, patio, bed or path, a fence of legs and turns, a whole house from a few figures, drawing commands or a canvas document — and returns every material, plans, labour hours, a one-click link that opens it on the canvas, and a file.

Turns a supplier's or builder's quote the reader has, prices and all, into a My Project file, as the site's Quote to Estimate does, and checks its own arithmetic.

What causes a crack, damp patch, leak or ceiling stain, mould, a tripping breaker, banging pipes or a sticking door?

How much will it cover?

Which building code or standard covers wiring, stairs, gas, drainage, concrete or roofing in the US, Canada, the UK or Australia (or a country mapped to one), and who publishes it, with the site's standards pages.

What is plasterboard called in the US, skirting in Canada, render in Australia?
