Guides: estimating countertop jobs by the numbers
Answer-first guides on slab count, yield, multifamily estimating, and the DXF-to-slab-count workflow — each grounded in real numbers from a published StoneNest demo job (Ridgeline Flats: 3 unit types, 108 units, 132 slabs, 81.6% yield) and shipped product config, not rounded estimates.
How many slabs do you need for a countertop job?
Why slab count isn't a flat square-footage ratio, and what actually drives the number on a real multifamily job.
Slab yieldCountertop slab yield: what's a good number?
What the yield percentage on a nested layout actually measures, and what a good number looks like on a real job.
MultifamilyEstimating countertops for multifamily and apartment projects
Why multifamily bids nest by unit type and quantity, not by multiplying one kitchen's square footage by the door count.
WorkflowFrom DXF export to slab count: how it works
The mechanical path from the DXF your ERP or CAD already exports to a validated slab count and cut-ready file.
