contain Excel formulas that calculate a 'best guess',
based on the other dimensions you have already entered. Check the following measurements in
the MacNail construction estimating software:

1. We will also be installing carpet in the existing living room. Add
280 sq. ft. to the floor finish area (for a total of 540).
2. Type in 18 total interior corners (four for each room and/or closet, plus an extra two for the
dogleg in the family room).
3. Type in 6 total exterior corners (count both 'concave' and 'convex' corners in the outside
wall).
4. You can add about 50 square feet to the siding area (to account for the 'triangles' added by the slope
of the shed roof). Type in a new number that is 50 higher than the calculated siding area (for a total of 446).
NOTE: Minor details like this can often be disregarded safely. They usually won't have enough impact on the total
price to be worth the bother of calculating.
5. Leave all the other suggested values alone--they should be correct as calculated.
