Konj Journal
Design guides from Konj, a platform for discovering architecture, interiors, products, and creative professionals. Our journal turns everyday design questions into practical decisions.
Build a renovation budget from quantities and unit rates. A worked example separates materials, labour, other costs, contingency and optional tax assumptions.
Estimate plaster bags from area, thickness and stated product coverage. A worked example separates net volume, allowance and complete bags.
Estimate patio paving quantities from slab dimensions, joint width and waste. Compare module coverage with purchased slab area before confirming a cutting plan.
Calculate curtain fabric for two panels using track width, fullness, hems and pattern repeat. Separate finished dimensions from the fabric you must buy.
Estimate wallpaper rolls from full-height drops, pattern repeat and cutting length. Compare free, straight and half-drop matching in a worked example.
Estimate bricks or blocks from wall area, unit size and mortar joints. A worked single-leaf example includes openings, waste and whole-piece ordering.
Calculate slab and column concrete in cubic metres. Work through rectangular and cylindrical examples, allowances and the distinction between volume and bags.
Turn several room measurements into whole flooring packs. Separate net area, waste allowance, pack coverage and the surplus created by packaging.
Compare tile area and aligned-grid estimates, including cuts, joints, waste and whole boxes. Work through a room example before choosing an order quantity.
