Industry note
Use your own production reality.
Do not use this calculator as a substitute for measuring the job. Treat wall/room/square-foot production rates as your own operational inputs, not universal market facts.
The core price still comes from direct cost, overhead, payment fees and the gross margin you choose. The calculator intentionally avoids claiming an “average price” for your market.
