Quote flooring allowances before the customer picks a colour
Architectural plans, repeatable house types, allowances that hold up at handover. AreaSum gives your estimator the per-room area before material is chosen so the contract figure is right from day one.
A home builder quotes flooring twice: once as an allowance in the contract, once again when the customer chooses the actual material. AreaSum tightens the first number so the second one is a near-zero variation. Each house type is measured once and the totals roll up by floor, by zone and by material category — wet areas, living areas, bedrooms — so allowances reflect the actual plan, not a rule-of-thumb $/m2.
Built for the way you quote
Allowances that match the plan, not a per-square rule of thumb
Measure each house type once. Bedrooms in carpet allowance, wet areas in tile allowance, living in hybrid or timber allowance. The contract carries real numbers instead of a $/m2 figure that always disappoints.
Repeatable across the same house type
Same plan, twenty builds: measure once, reuse the project as a template. Variation pricing per build only has to capture the upgrade, not the base.
Defensible at handover
When the customer queries the flooring line at handover, the exported report shows every room, every area, every material category. The allowance was real; the variation, if any, is documented.

What home builders ask first
Can my estimator quote without choosing the actual product?
Yes. Assign each room a flooring category — carpet, hybrid, tile, timber — without picking a specific SKU. Totals come out grouped by category so the allowance figure is concrete even if the colour is not yet picked.
Can we reuse the same plan for multiple builds?
Duplicate the project and the rooms come with it. Adjust the bits that differ — usually wet area finish, sometimes living area material — and the totals roll up against the new build.
Does it handle two-storey plans?
Every level sits on its own page. Each level keeps its own scale and rooms. The project export totals roll up across floors so you can quote the whole house or just the upper level.
