Methodology

Transparent calculation

BuildMeter converts every input to a consistent internal unit, applies the selected allowance, and rounds products up to whole purchasable units.

Subtotal = window units + installation + disposal + trim length × trim rate. The project contingency is then added to the subtotal.
