Good quantity planning begins before ordering. Break the project into measurable surfaces and keep every dimension in the same unit.
Measure systematically
Record the length and width of each surface, multiply identical components, and separate parts that require different products, thicknesses or grain directions.
Plan the cutting layout
Total area alone does not capture every offcut. Sheet orientation, visible grain, repeated parts and edge quality influence how efficiently panels can be used.
Allow for practical waste
- Include cutting and trimming.
- Account for damaged edges or site handling.
- Keep special finish and grain requirements separate.
- Confirm the final cutting list with the fabricator.
The Sagun calculator provides an initial estimate that can be carried into a quotation request.
