GroCraft helps tradespeople, floor installers, tilers and small construction teams plan material quantities before ordering or cutting. Calculate laminate, parquet, vinyl, tiles, decking boards and baseboards with waste, reserve, pack sizes, piece counts, costs and estimated working time. The layout preview shows direction, pattern, offset and cut pieces so planning and customer discussions become easier to understand. For the job site, GroCraft creates a clear cutting plan with full pieces, cut pieces, leftovers and reusable offcuts. Accessories, shop links, data sheets stay attached to the material. Results can be exported as PDF documents for quotes, purchasing and job-site preparation. GroCraft stores projects locally on the device. No account, cloud sync or online project storage is required. Save your own material templates with dimensions, packs, prices, accessories and links for future projects. Templates and existing projects remain independent. Plan cuts in advance and reuse suitable offcuts to avoid unnecessary waste. Set tile length, width and joint width yourself; decking gaps are adjustable too. These gaps are included in the laying preview, cutting plan and PDF.
