How The Calculation Works
Formulas, material coverage assumptions, waste buffers, and rounding standards.
Calculations use standard Indian sheet sizes: 6×4 ft (24 sq ft) or 8×4 ft (32 sq ft) Gypsum boards (Saint-Gobain Gyproc / USG Boral 12.5mm).
Galvanized iron (GI) framework is estimated based on standard Indian site practice: perimeter channels along walls, intermediate main channels at 3-4 ft spacing, and ceiling sections at 16 or 24 inches centres with soffit cleats.
Cove lighting perimeter is calculated for peripheral drop designs, estimating LED profile channels and drywall joint compound with fiberglass mesh tape.
