Kearsley Paint Square Adelaide, South Australia

Measure a painting job straight off the drawings.

Open the architect's PDF, trace each room on the plan, and Paint Square works out the ceiling, wall and floor areas as you go. Switch off the walls you're not painting and the figures follow.

Tracing a room and excluding a glazed wall An L-shaped office is traced point by point on an architectural floor plan. The outline closes and the room fills with colour, showing a floor area of 29.94 square metres. The glazed west wall is then switched off, and the wall paint area drops from 64.80 to 51.30 square metres. 1 : 100 Meeting Activity 02 Store Corridor Glazing — not painted Office 01 29.94 m² floor

What it does

Paint Square is a take-off tool built for commercial painting contractors. You upload the drawing set, pick the pages you're pricing, set the scale, then trace the rooms you're painting.

Click any wall to take it out of the take-off — glazing, tiling, an existing finish you're not touching — and the wall area recalculates on the spot. Ceiling heights, cut-outs and surface toggles all sit on the room, so the numbers stay right when the scope changes.

What it measures

Internal and external surfaces, each tracked separately so they can be priced at their own rate.

Ceilings Flat and raked, with bulkheads deducted
Walls From perimeter and ceiling height, minus the walls you switch off
Floors Sealing and line marking
Skirting Lineal metres, attached to a room or standalone
Feature walls Nibs, bulkheads and islands at their own height
External Render, cladding, eaves and soffits, gutters, fascias, downpipes

Who it's for
