Quantities and a quote, measured from your design
Arcvelle Studio measures your design and lists what it contains: furniture, flooring with an 8% waste allowance, paint for two coats, doors and windows, wall length and skirting. Add unit prices and tax to turn it into a quote.
How do I create a bill of materials from an interior design?
Open the bill of materials in Arcvelle Studio. It lists furniture, flooring area with 8% added for waste, paint litres for two coats, doors, windows, wall length and skirting, all measured from your design. Enter unit prices, currency and tax rate, add a quote header, then export CSV or an A4 PDF quote.
What it does
Features
Measured, not typed
Quantities come from the drawn design, so moving a wall or changing a floor finish changes the list with it.
Flooring with waste
Floor areas include an 8% allowance for cutting waste, a typical starting figure for straight-laid boards and tiles.
Paint in litres
Paint is estimated in litres for two coats across the walls you have painted.
Your prices, your currency
Enter unit prices, choose a currency and set a tax rate; line totals and the overall total are worked out for you.
Quote header
Add client, reference, date, validity and notes so the PDF reads as a quote rather than a bare list.
CSV and A4 PDF
Export CSV for a spreadsheet, or an A4 PDF quote ready to send to a client.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
Why does the flooring quantity include 8% extra?
Cutting boards and tiles to fit leaves offcuts, so suppliers usually recommend ordering more than the bare floor area. Arcvelle adds 8% as a starting allowance; diagonal or herringbone patterns and irregular rooms often need more, so confirm with your fitter.
How is the paint quantity worked out?
The bill of materials estimates litres for two coats over the painted wall area. Real use depends on the paint's coverage, the surface and the colour change, so check the coverage printed on the tin before buying.
Does Arcvelle include product prices?
No. Arcvelle does not supply prices. You enter your own unit prices, currency and tax rate, and the totals are calculated from those figures.
Can I open the bill of materials in Excel or Google Sheets?
Yes. Export it as CSV, a plain table format that spreadsheet applications open directly. For clients, the A4 PDF quote is usually the better thing to send.
Is the bill of materials part of the drawings set?
Yes. The drawings set PDF includes the bill of materials alongside the plans, elevations and schedules. You can also export it on its own as CSV or an A4 PDF quote.
Are the quantities exact enough to order from?
Treat them as a planning estimate. They are measured from the design as drawn, so they inherit any differences between the drawing and the real building. Measure on site and confirm with suppliers before placing orders.
