How to do it
Open the Quantities tab in the panel on the right.
Under Show, choose the whole house, one level or the new work on a buildout layer.
The list is grouped: cladding, roof, floors, walls, ceilings, mouldings, windows and doors, insulation, and decks. Open a line to see where it comes from.
Every line has a waste allowance you can change, and the quantity to order.
Press “Export CSV” to open the list in Excel or another spreadsheet, or print it.
Good to know
- It counts from the drawing: the cladding net of the openings, the roof covering on the slope with its ridges, verges and eaves, and the floors and walls by what covers them – sloping ceilings at their true size.
- Insulation is a rough guide only. Each deck has its own list of boards, joists, beams, posts and footings.
- It is an estimate: check the quantities with your supplier before you order.
Questions and answers
How much waste should I add?
Each line starts with a usual allowance for its material – more for herringbone parquet than for plain planks – and you can change it. The quantity to order is the quantity plus the waste.
Can I get the list for an extension only?
Yes. Draw the extension on a buildout layer and choose its new work under Show. The list then counts only what the extension takes.
Does it include prices?
No. It gives you the quantities to take to a supplier or a builder, who can price them.
