The ProjectCalc Plus
®
MX was designed specifically for Do-
It-Yourselfers in the United Kingdom and other countries that
use Metric measurements. It helps you quickly figure project
material quantities, linear distances, areas/volumes and
material costs like a pro. Unlike other calculators, it works
and converts directly in Metric measurements and can also
convert to Imperial (feet-inch) units, including Square and
Cubic, so you don’t have to figure tedious maths.
Use it to estimate quantities and costs for:
• Bricks & Blocks • Paint
• BTUs • Slabs (Patio)
• Concrete & Gravel • Studs
• Drywall • Tile
• Flooring (Carpet/Vinyl) • Wallpaper
The ProjectCalc Plus MX is an indispensable tool for all
your home Do-It-Yourself projects!
