This cries for a smartphone app. Recently I watched a guy making a quote for covering a roof with solar cells. He had a sophisticated app on his phone by which he measured the size, orientation and slope of the roof with the sensors of the phone. This then calculated the number of solar panels than can be mounted, an estimate for the power output over a year and the cost of the materials and the man-hours required for the installation. Almost instantly and with a very simple user interface.

There's a big difference between quoting a job and doing a job

The CI shop calculator is impressive, but more and more of its functions are being directly implemented in the Digital Read Out equipment themselves. A calculator is still useful at the drafting table.
