Calculator FAQ

How to use estimates

How many decking boards do I need?

Start with deck length, deck width, board cover and waste allowance. The Buildry calculator gives a planning estimate that should be checked against layout, joins and selected product.

Can I use the calculator for cladding?

Yes. The calculator page includes cladding coverage planning for wall area, board cover, trims, fixings and waste allowance.

Can a calculator estimate become a quote request?

Yes. Use the calculator output as a draft material list, then add contact, postcode and project notes before sending it for a Buildry quote.
