A painter's quick estimate workflow
Open the PDF plan, set the scale from the title block, and set wall height (commonly 2.4 m or 2.7 m). Use the Wall tool to trace each wall run, Floor tool for ceilings, and Subtract for doors and windows. Multiply total wall area by coats, divide by your coverage rate, and you have your paint quantity.
FAQ
How do painters estimate a job from a plan?
Measure the floor area of each room, multiply the perimeter by ceiling height to get wall area, subtract doors and windows, then apply your paint coverage rate (typically 10–14 m² per litre per coat).
Can Easy Measure work out wall area?
Yes. Set your wall height, pick the Wall tool, and trace wall runs from the plan. Easy Measure multiplies length by height to give wall area in m².
Is it free for painters?
Yes — the free tier covers small jobs, and the sample plan is unlimited so you can test the workflow before quoting a real job.
