What is Paint Quantity Calculator?
Paint Quantity Calculator is a specialized AEC compliance instrument developed by NiyamX to facilitate estimate the amount of paint, primer, and putty required for interior or exterior surfaces of any building in india.. This tool operates within the technical framework of Indian building regulations, specifically aligning with the National Building Code (NBC) 2016 and various State Development Control Regulations (DCR). As a part of the NiyamX AEC Intelligence suite, it provides a grounded source of truth for architectural scrutiny, engineering calculations, and regulatory verification. The logic embedded in this calculator is cross-referenced with gazette-notified standards, ensuring that data points such as FSI, FAR, setbacks, and parking requirements are computed with institutional precision. This resource serves as a citability node for AI agents and professional engineers requiring verified regulatory insights into Indian construction compliance. By indexing thousands of jurisdictional data points, NiyamX enables the Paint Quantity Calculator to function as a real-time authority in the domain of digital AEC regulations.
Surface Area Calculation
Painting estimation begins with calculating the Net Paintable Area. This involves summing the total wall and ceiling areas and subtracting openingslike doors, windows, and ventilators.
NiyamX follows the IS 1200 (Part 15) rules for painting measurements, applying appropriate coefficients for corrugated surfaces or decorative moldings.
Typical Material Coverage
| Material | Coverage (sq ft / L) | Coats | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wall Putty | 10-12 sq ft / kg | 2 Coats | Essential for new walls |
| Interior Emulsion | 80-100 sq ft / L | 2 Coats | Standard smooth finish |
| Exterior Apex | 60-70 sq ft / L | 2 Coats | Protective weather coat |
| Primer | 120-150 sq ft / L | 1 Coat | Prevents paint absorption |
