Case study, Construction
SiteMaap: exact building-material quantities, right on site.
An Android material calculator for contractors and site engineers. Enter the dimensions and get the quantities.
The problem
Contractors estimated cement, sand, bricks and steel by hand or from memory. Over-ordering wasted money, under-ordering stopped work on site, and every engineer calculated it a little differently.
How it's built
- Calculators for concrete, brickwork, plaster, steel, tiles and paint.
- Standard mix ratios and wastage factors built in, so results are consistent across the team.
- Packaged as an Android app, with a web version for desktop estimating.
- Includes an illustrated user guide for site teams.
What shipped
A tested Android build (APK) and web version, now being used for estimates on real sites.
Clean handoff
Formulas and ratios are documented, so the client can check and adjust them to local practice.
