FAQ
- Which materials can I estimate?
- Plasterboard sheets, timber studs at a spacing you set, or flooring packs from the pack coverage.
- Is waste included?
- Plasterboard and flooring include 10%. Studs are a count of centres plus one, with no extra for waste.
- Are these order quantities?
- They are a ballpark from the measurements. Openings, corners, and offcuts on site will change the real order.
