Frequently Asked Questions
What building materials can I calculate on Wanjaaro?
Wanjaaro provides deterministic calculators for concrete slabs and footings, modular/king bricks and mortar, CMU concrete blocks with core fill, 16" and 24" O.C. wall framing studs, OSB/plywood sheathing, drywall sheets and joint compound, paint coverage with primer, roofing shingles with pitch multipliers, tile and grout weight, and complete construction project cost estimates.
Are material waste margins included in calculations?
Yes. Each calculator includes adjustable waste percentages (typically 10% for concrete, 5–10% for masonry and tile, 10–15% for lumber and drywall, and 10–15% for roofing) to ensure takeoffs accurately reflect real-world job site cutting and breakage.
Do all calculations run locally in the browser?
Yes. All mathematical formulas execute 100% locally in your web browser with zero server latency, no mandatory account logins, and no paywalls.
