The problem
Most shops still paste lengths into a spreadsheet and divide by 6 or 12. That ignores saw kerf and end trim, mixes sections on the same “bar count”, and leaves you a truck short on Monday.
What you get
- Australian sections with real kg/m — UB, UC, PFC, equal & unequal angle, SHS, RHS, CHS, flat bar (AS/NZS tables)
- Member list — mark, section, length, qty (CSV import on Pro)
- Mass by section — metres and kilograms for the quote and the truck
- 1D nest — stock lengths 6 / 8 / 9 / 12 m, your kerf and end trim, waste %
- Buy list + saw sheet — what to order, what to cut, printable on Pro
- Quick cost — drop in A$/kg (or A$/m) for a ballpark material figure
