Pro Tips

  • !

    Use Consistent Units

    Always use the same unit of measurement for all dimensions to get accurate results. Convert units before calculating if needed.

  • !

    Add Extra for Waste

    When buying materials, add 5-10% extra to account for waste, cutting, and pattern matching.

  • !

    Break Complex Shapes

    For irregular spaces, divide them into rectangles, squares, or triangles, calculate each area, and add them together.

  • !

    Double-Check Measurements

    Measure twice to ensure accuracy, especially for costly projects like flooring or painting.
