Make a plan before buying materials

DIY jobs can get expensive when you guess the quantities. MyProjectMate helps you turn measurements into a practical starting estimate, using prices and product information you can edit yourself.

How it works

  1. Measure: enter your project dimensions.
  2. Adjust: change material sizes, bag yields and prices to match what you plan to buy.
  3. Review: check the estimates and print your shopping list.

These calculators are for preliminary budgeting, not engineering or construction specifications. Follow product instructions and seek appropriate professional advice for structural or site-specific decisions.

Built for UK DIYers

Measurements use metres and millimetres, estimates use pounds sterling, and material quantities are rounded up to whole purchasable bags or slabs where relevant. All example prices are editable.

We're starting with garden projects and will add more calculators as the site develops.
