How a kitchen remodel composer works — one kitchen feeds seven calculators into one materials list
A composer never re-implements math. You enter the kitchen once, and the shared dimensions feed seven standalone calculators (drywall, paint, flooring, backsplash tile, cabinets, countertop, trim). Each runs on its own, then the outputs merge into one materials list where every line traces back to its source calculator.
What this diagram shows
A flow diagram of a kitchen remodel composer. On the left, the kitchen is entered once — length by width, ceiling height, number of doors and windows, and the backsplash and cabinet choices. Those shared inputs are fed to seven standalone calculators listed in the middle: drywall, interior paint, flooring, backsplash tile, cabinets, countertop, and trim. Each calculator runs independently and produces its own quantities, such as 11 sheets of drywall, 2 gallons of paint, 6 boxes of floor material, 32 square feet of backsplash tile, 15 cabinets, 2 quartz countertop slabs, and 8 sticks of base trim. On the right those outputs merge into one materials list where every line is tagged with the calculator that produced it. The composer never re-does the math — it calls the same calculators you can use on their own and combines their results, reconciling overlapping surfaces first.
