An online tool facilitates cost estimation for kitchen or bathroom surfaces by considering material, size, edge profile, and additional features like cutouts or backsplashes. For example, such a tool might allow users to input dimensions, select granite as the material, and choose a specific edge profile to generate a cost estimate.
This type of resource empowers homeowners and contractors to budget effectively, compare material costs, and explore design options without soliciting multiple quotes initially. Historically, obtaining pricing information required contacting suppliers or fabricators directly, a time-consuming process. These tools contribute to greater transparency and efficiency in the renovation planning process.
