MATERIAL EXAMPLES
Material Calculations
The following calculations are based on common
industry standards (see " Default Values for
Materials ") for estimating quantities of materials.
You may need to adjust your calculations if you use
values other than specified. Also, remember to factor
in a waste allowance when ordering materials.
