Flooring estimating software for Australian contractors

Software that turns a floor plan (usually a PDF from an architect, builder or homeowner) into a set of measurements — area per room, perimeter per room, totals by material — accurate enough to quote a flooring job from. AreaSum is a web-based version built specifically for carpet, vinyl, hybrid, timber and tile trades in Australia and New Zealand.

Those are broader construction estimating suites with steep learning curves designed for general contractors handling structural, mechanical and finish trades. AreaSum is faster for flooring-only quotes because the UI, the report format and the wastage logic are built around floor area, perimeter and material grouping — not a general bill-of-quantities workflow. See the side-by-side comparisons below.

A single-storey house plan from PDF to a finished quote-ready measurement PDF is typically 10–15 minutes once you have the scale set — often faster than measuring by hand with a calculator, and dramatically faster than learning a full CAD or estimating suite.

Yes — AreaSum is a browser app and runs on iPad and Android tablets as well as Windows and macOS. There is no install, no App Store gatekeeper, and no separate mobile SKU.

AreaSum is $49 AUD per user/month on Standard and $99 on Pro, which adds carpet cut planning. Your whole organisation sits on one plan and the bill is that price times the number of people on the account. Every plan includes unlimited PDF exports. A 14-day free trial is available without a credit card, and the trial covers your whole team.

Yes. The /demo page lets anyone load a sample plan or upload their own PDF, set the scale, draw rooms and see live measurements without signing up. The export is gated by a single email field — the measurement PDF and a magic link come to your inbox to convert into a real account.
