What is a field measure, and why does it have to happen before you order material?
A field measure is the on-site capture of as-built room dimensions, taken with a tape and laser after framing, used as the authority for cutting custom material instead of the bid estimate.
Start free→A field measure is the measured-on-site record of a room's real dimensions, taken once the space is built far enough to be accurate. For custom-fabricated trades like cabinets and countertops, you cannot cut material off a drawing: someone has to physically walk the finished-framed room and capture the as-built numbers. Those numbers, not the bid estimate, become the authority the shop fabricates against.
Skipping or rushing the field measure is how shops scrap material. Order a slab off the plan and a half-inch of framing drift turns it into an expensive offcut. The field measure is a physical gate: it has to happen before the order, the order before delivery, and delivery before install. Each step depends on the one before being real.
Scaftra models the field measure as the first physical gate in the cabinet and countertop trade lifecycle: measure, then order, then deliver, then install. Each trade has its own field-measure record (Field Measure for cabinets, Countertop Field Measure for countertops), anchored to the room it belongs to, so the order is issued against measured reality rather than the bid estimate. The measure lives with the room and the order, so it does not get lost between the jobsite and the shop.
