What Features Would Make CY Calculator More Useful for Your Projects?

by•

Hi everyone! 👋

We're building CY Calculator to make construction and landscaping calculations easier, from cubic yard ofmeasurements to estimating materials like concrete, gravel, mulch, and soil.

We want to make these tools as practical and user-friendly as possible for homeowners, DIY enthusiasts, contractors, and landscaping professionals.

We'd love to hear your thoughts:

  1. What calculations do you find most difficult when planning a project?

  2. What features would you like to see in an online calculator?

  3. Would material cost estimates, additional measurement conversions, or project-specific calculators be most useful to you?

Your feedback will help us prioritize improvements and build tools that solve real problems.

Check out CY Calculator:

Thanks for sharing your thoughts and helping us improve!

1. None particularly - our conversions are done in an excel file with template calculations. 2. The ability to compare pricing of materials. 3. Yes yes yes. Comparison of material costs based on project location (ie zip code). If I searched up “4x8 plywood sheets in Lansing, MI” and the calculator figured out how many sheets I needed based on sf and then showed me comparison of retailers and their locations or pricing, I would be sold on the calculator. Not so much for the calculator part, but the procurement and price comparison part.
