ScrapSense: Weekend Project Waste Estimator

How it helps

Use it for a focused task

ScrapSense helps weekend DIYers buy the right amount of material. Pick a project type, enter your dimensions, and get a waste-adjusted material list with standard board and sheet sizes.

No more extra store runs or leftover piles. Choose a project preset or start from scratch.

Enter your dimensions in inches. The estimator adds a waste factor based on the project complexity and suggests how many boards or sheets to buy.
