Help Needed With Measuring Up

[CLAYS TILES]

why bother dividing by anything measure height x width then multiply to get sqm. add all walls together then add 10%

that only works if your using m2 tape measure!

Lets say that one side is 254cm and the other 355cm.
Then you have 2.54 X 3.55 = 9.01 sq mtr.
Then add a sq mtr or 2 for your off cuts.
If awkward shape do en-block and add together
works 4 me m8 good luck.

alright mate it all depends on tile size, grain effect and whats got to be cut around and take in to account for the odd breakage and imperfections. The Norm is about 10% for cuts
