Each line is an entered net/installed or stated basis quantity; this calculator does not invent stock packs or waste. Ordered/purchased quantities must be confirmed against your supplier’s stock sizes and rounding rules. Excluded scopes are not free. Blank rates are incomplete, not zero, and therefore the displayed priced subtotal is not a complete project price.
- Blank rates are unpriced and do not contribute zero to the estimate.
- Metric tonnes and US short tons remain distinct price bases.
Estimated total: $1,350.00

How it works and assumptions
Choose itemized scopes to enter takeoff quantities, supplier rates and fixed fees. Alternatively, choose all-in only when a quote covers the entire scope. The result distinguishes priced, unpriced and excluded lines.
The patio material-order and budget guide pairs the separate C01–C03 takeoffs with this independent cost worksheet. It does not transfer inputs between tools or create an export; re-enter the applicable quantities and rates, then keep each scope and selling basis visible.
Worked example
A separate illustration is in the calculator: 24 m² at $28/m² plus $95 delivery equals $767 before any entered tax or contingency. It is not a quote or construction recommendation.
