# Estimate a construction job end to end, in a browser tab.

> 1,163 construction calculators showing the formula and standard behind every number, trade guides, and a workspace that exports a priced bill of materials.

Page: https://craftquantities.com/ (home page). This is the page's Markdown copy; the HTML page is the canonical version.

Start from the whole job — a bathroom, a slab, a roof — or from any of 1,163 calculators and 387 trade guides. Enter your measurements once: every figure shows its formula and the standard it comes from, in imperial or metric.

How a job runs here

## One job, start to finish

1. ### Pick or draw the job

   Choose one of the job takeoffs, draw the room to scale, or describe the project in your own words.

   - [Job takeoffs](https://craftquantities.com/build/)
   - [Room planner](https://craftquantities.com/plan/room/)
   - [Describe it](https://craftquantities.com/project/new/)
2. ### Measure it once

   Every trade the job touches comes back from the one set of sizes: each quantity with its formula, its allowance and what to order, and the hours for the work.

   [See a bathroom worked out](https://craftquantities.com/build/bathroom-remodel/)
3. ### Price it your way

   In My Project: your rates on every line, supplier quotes side by side, labour by the hour or per unit, and a range rather than one number.

   [My Project](https://craftquantities.com/project/)
4. ### Send it

   The client's proposal, the workbook behind it, a request for prices to your merchants, and a change order when the job moves.

   [Or start from a quote](https://craftquantities.com/quote-to-estimate/)

What you can do

## From one figure to a priced job

- Estimate sheet

  ### [Price the job, then take it into Excel](https://craftquantities.com/project/)

  Your own rates on every line. The Excel download keeps its totals as live formulas, so the workbook recalculates when you edit it; PDF too.
- Job takeoffs

  ### [76 jobs, every trade from one set of sizes](https://craftquantities.com/build/)

  Give a bathroom or a deck its dimensions once. Each trade comes back with its base quantity, allowance and what to order.
- House estimator

  ### [A whole new house, every material listed](https://craftquantities.com/house-estimator/)

  Footprint, walls, roof, doors and windows: the house is drawn, measured wall by wall and run through the takeoffs, openings taken off.
- Plan canvas

  ### [Draw the room to scale](https://craftquantities.com/plan/room/)

  Walls and openings on a grid drawn to scale, with zoom, snap and undo. The areas come from the drawing; save it as SVG or PNG.
- Quote reader

  ### [Turn a supplier's quote into an estimate](https://craftquantities.com/quote-to-estimate/)

  Paste it, or open the PDF, Excel or CSV. Every line becomes editable, and any line read with a guess is flagged with its original text.
- Field tools

  ### [Instruments from the phone in your pocket](https://craftquantities.com/tools/)

  A bubble level, a roof-pitch clinometer, a screen ruler and a photo takeoff, in the browser. No app to install.

Live, on this page

## A room fit-out, worked out as you change it

Not a picture of the takeoff: the takeoff itself. Seven calculators read the same five measurements, each adds its own allowance and rounds to what is bought, and the labour rates give a range of hours for the work. Move a wall and every figure follows it.

The room

[Open this room in the full takeoff](https://craftquantities.com/build/room-fitout/)

Quantities and person-hours only, never a price. The hours are a range from trade rules of thumb.

Not sure where to start

## Answer two questions and land on the right takeoff

Why the numbers hold

## Every figure shows its working

Every answer shows the formula behind it and the source that formula comes from, and every calculator is tested against cases worked by hand. Nothing is a black box.

When one number is not the job

## Put the results in a project and get the bill of materials

Every calculator can send its answer to a workspace that holds the whole job: your own unit prices, the tools each operation needs, and the waste allowance you chose with a note of where it came from.

- [Open the workspace](https://craftquantities.com/project/)
- [Browse job takeoffs](https://craftquantities.com/build/)

- Your rates, not ours

  Unit prices are fields you fill in. Nothing is fetched and nothing is assumed.
- Materials and the tools for them

  Each operation lists the equipment the work needs alongside the quantities.
- Exports

  XLSX, PDF and DXF — written in this browser, from the figures on this device.
