ETICS priced reveals included

Insulation area, but also jambs, lintels and sills: the module computes the linears opening by opening, then their surfaces for the insulation thickness you enter.

Price a Facade Retrofit From the Elevation Drawing | FloorScan

On an elevation drawing: facade outline and scale set on a dimension, one window drawn then repeated with Translation and Symmetry, sorted by type with opening, material and acoustics, then insulation priced as main area and returns (reveals, lintels, sills).

Reveal returns, the blind spot of ETICS pricing

On an external insulation job the plain wall area is easy to estimate. The cost sits in the openings: two jambs, a lintel and a sill per window, each with its own cut of insulation, its profile and its finish. Across twenty openings those linear meters add up to several days of labor nobody priced.

The insulation panel starts from the openings detected on the facade and applies the rule: jambs = height x 2, lintel = width, sill = width. You get linear meters per opening and per type, then the matching surfaces once the thickness is entered. Nothing to retype, nothing to forget.

What the insulation panel gives you

Linears by return type

Jambs, lintels and sills counted separately in linear meters for every opening on the elevation.

Surfaces by thickness

Enter the insulation thickness: every linear meter becomes a cut area to order.

Net plain wall area

The facade minus the openings: the quantity of insulation boards to install, without over-ordering.

Multi-layer R calculation

Stack the layers and their lambdas, read the thermal resistance and the U-value of the build-up.

Exportable detail

The opening-by-opening table exports to Excel and PDF to attach to a quote or a grant application.

Metric or imperial

Every length and area is displayed and exported in the unit system you picked.

ETICS takeoff questions

How are the reveal returns computed?

From the real dimensions of each detected opening: the two jambs are twice the height, the lintel and the sill each equal the width. Those linears are then multiplied by the insulation thickness to give the cut surfaces.

Can some openings be treated differently?

Yes. Every element keeps its type (window, door, balcony, shutter box) and you can exclude or correct it in the editor before recomputing. A garage door with no insulated reveal drops out of the count in one click.

Does the R calculation replace a thermal study?

No. It is a series resistance calculation across the layers, very useful to compare two build-ups in a meeting or sanity-check an order of magnitude, but it does not stand in for a regulatory study signed by a thermal engineer.

For roof upstands, a flat roof waterproofing detail takes a few minutes to draw. Missing a section for the package? A construction detail drawing can be drawn to scale, as vectors. Quantities then come from our AI takeoff software, which counts walls, openings and areas. Those quantities feed straight into a quote from a floor plan, line by line.
