how to estimate material requirement for an area of house in
square feet?

Answer Posted / Manoj Chauhan

Estimating material requirements for a house can be complex and depends on many factors such as the type and size of the house, the materials used, and local building codes. A common method is to use a per-square-foot estimate based on average values for each material. For example, you might find that drywall requires about 0.75 square feet per cubic foot, while roofing shingles require about 3 squares per 100 square feet.
