Design My Dream Home

What's inside

• Floor areas room by room, and comparing them
• Deciding whether a job needs area or perimeter
• Flooring costs per square metre and comparing options
• Adding a 10% waste allowance to material orders
• Painting walls, then subtracting doors and windows
• One coat or two, and which tin is better value
• Wallpaper and tiling quantities, price per box
• Drawing and reading a 1:50 scale floor plan
• Does the sofa fit, and walking clearance of 90cm
• Furniture budgets, 15% off and delivery charges
• Contractor quotes, VAT and a 10% contingency
• When something goes wrong or the budget is cut
