BOM Generator
Free Bill of Materials generator for furniture work. Describe the piece and get a part-by-part material list you can take straight to the plywood dealer.
About this calculator
A Bill of Materials is simply the full list of what goes into a job — carcass panels, shutters, back panel, laminate, hinges, handles, adhesive. Most carpenters keep this in their head or on a loose page, which is exactly how things get forgotten and a second trip to the dealer becomes necessary. This generator lays it out part by part so you order once, correctly.
Frequently asked questions
What is a BOM in carpentry?
Bill of Materials — the itemised list of every material and fitting a job needs, with quantities. It's what turns a rough idea into an accurate purchase list and an honest quote.
Why should I make a BOM before starting work?
Two reasons: you order material once instead of making repeat trips, and you can quote the client a number you can actually stand behind. Most cost overruns start with material that wasn't counted.
Can I share the BOM with my plywood dealer?
Yes — that's the point. Share it on WhatsApp so the dealer quotes against an exact list instead of a verbal estimate. It also gives you something to check the delivery against.
