Why Kotelys for this package.
Each finish, its colour
The drawing reads at a glance: orange for tiles, ochre for parquet, just as in the report.
Skirting with the floors
The perimeter of each room is written in the calculations and in Excel: no need to draw it again.
Wall tiling at its height
1.20 m in the kitchen, full height in the shower: one height per type, openings deducted.
Frequently asked questions
Another question? Write to us.
Is Kotelys suited to a tiler or a floor layer?
Yes: areas by room and by finish, skirtings from the perimeter with thresholds deducted, wall tiling at the chosen height, quantities by flat.
How do I get the skirting length?
Every area gives its perimeter in the take-off calculations and in Excel. Take off the door openings in your estimate, or draw the skirting as a length.
Wall tiling to half height?
Create a length type “Wall tiling h. 1.20 m” with that height: every metre drawn gives the tiled area.
Does Kotelys open DWG files?
No: Kotelys works on PDFs and images, scanned drawings included. Print a DWG to PDF at scale from your viewer.
How do I get the quantities into my estimate?
The Excel export gives a summary and the object-by-object detail, as fixed values. The PDF take-off calculations write out every calculation, to attach to your pricing.
