Preliminary estimate, not certified engineering. This tool produces an indicative quantity calculation for planning purposes only — it is not a certified structural analysis, a guaranteed material takeoff, or a substitute for building department approval. Always verify measurements on-site and have a licensed contractor or structural engineer review any load-bearing, code-sensitive, or safety-critical work before purchasing materials or starting construction. Spotted an arithmetic or standards error? Report it to contact@craftquantities.com with your inputs — confirmed fixes become pinned regression tests.

  • Total weep screed = wall perimeter × (1 + waste allowance), since a continuous weep screed runs along the base of the veneer wall to drain moisture and terminate the water-resistive barrier

Frequently asked questions

Why does a stone veneer wall need a weep screed?
A continuous weep screed at the base of the wall drains moisture that gets behind the veneer and terminates the water-resistive barrier, giving trapped water a path out instead of wicking upward into the wall assembly.
Why calculate weep screed by perimeter rather than by wall face?
Weep screed runs continuously along the base of every sided wall face, so the total length needed tracks the wall's overall base perimeter rather than any single wall's width.
Does this account for outside/inside corner pieces separately?
No — this is a straight linear-footage calculation based on total perimeter and waste allowance. Corner pieces, splice overlaps beyond the waste allowance, and end caps should be accounted for separately from your layout.
