🏗️ What This Tool Is All About
A quick, code-aligned way to plan bricks/blocks, mortar, plaster, primer, and paint—without spreadsheets.
Why this exists
Traditional take‑offs mean flipping through codes, juggling sheets, and adding “safe” allowances. This tool centralizes the essentials: wall inputs → unit sizes → mortar/plaster mixes → paint coverage, and returns crystal‑clear quantities.
How it works (in 3 quick steps)
1) Describe your walls
Length, height, thickness, and any openings. Add multiple walls as needed.
2) Pick unit sizes
Use presets (Modular, CMU, AAC) or switch to Custom. Joints are added separately to reflect nominal.
3) Set mixes & coats
Choose IS-aligned mortar & plaster mixes and paint/primer coverage. Hit Calculate.
What you get at a glance
Tip: Save your inputs and generate a clean, printable report or export CSV for BOQs.
📘 Under the hood
- Actual unit sizes are used; joint thickness (J) inflates to nominal for unit count & mortar volume.
- Mortar & plaster split cement/sand by selected mix; cement bags assume 50 kg & ~1440 kg/m³ bulk density.
- Paint/primer litres = area ÷ coverage × coats. Openings are deducted from area.
🧭 Who should use this?
⚠️ Assumptions & scope
Open the estimator, add your walls, and get quantities in under a minute.
Masonry + Plaster + Paint Estimator IS 2250 & IS 1661 Compliant
📘 How it works (quick)
We compute net wall area (L×H − openings), convert to volume using thickness, estimate units from actual unit size and add the selected joint (J) to form nominal. Paint litres = area ÷ coverage × coats. Bags assume 50 kg & bulk density 1440 kg/m³.
⚙️ Assumptions & notes
- Presets use actual sizes. Joint inflates to nominal internally.
- Waste% applies to unit count only.
- Defaults reflect common Indian practice; verify project specs & supplier data.
