For suppliers and contractors
Put these calculators on your own website, with your logo and your products, and receive quote requests that already include the customer’s quantities: bags, yards, posts or sheets. We’re talking to a small number of lumber yards, concrete and landscape suppliers and installers before building it.
Why use these calculators
- Answers in what the store sells: bags, bundles, sheets, tons and gallons, not just volume.
- Feet and inches the way you measured: type 12 ft 6 in straight in, or use yards, meters or centimeters.
- Quick-answer tables for common sizes, and the math with a worked example on every page.
- Save, share or print an estimate to take to the store or send to a contractor.
- Works on the job site: add it to your phone’s home screen and pages you have opened keep working without signal.
- Nothing to install or sign up for. The numbers you type stay in your browser.
