Quantity by Area Calculator
Quantities, organised by where the work happened. Define the project areas once; the calculator measures the work inside each one and splits anything that crosses a boundary.

The idea
Define project space once. Then use those spatial definitions to organise and calculate engineering quantities.
The Quantity by Area Calculator combines project boundaries with sub-area metadata and automated, area-specific quantity reporting. The same piece of work geometry (an asphalt layer, an excavation, a pipe run) is attributed separately to every project area it crosses.

About the demonstration
The interactive demo above runs entirely in your browser. It uses a simplified example road scheme, or a DXF you provide (processed locally, nothing is uploaded).
Excavation and fill volumes in the demo are simplified demonstration values: intersection area × a representative depth. They are not surface-to-surface (TIN) volumes.
