Why plasterboard suppliers choose MetreMate

Plasterboard suppliers use MetreMate to measure wall and ceiling areas off the plans and elevations, then convert to sheets. Set the scale, trace the ceiling area, work walls from the runs and heights, deduct doors and windows, and measure cornice in linear metres. Layers keep walls, ceilings and wet areas separate, so staff produce a clean sheet and cornice takeoff and order the right quantities of board and compound.
