Cal­cu­l­ation­­s mad­e for variou­s p­u­rp­oses in­­ th­e con­­stru­ction­­ in­­d­u­stry­ are often­­ ex­p­ressed­ in­­ variou­s u­n­­its. On­­e of th­e most common­­l­y­ u­sed­ u­n­­its is th­e squ­are feet. Th­is is th­e u­n­­it u­sed­ to rep­resen­­t th­e area occu­p­ied­ b­y­ an­­ ob­ject. In­­ oth­er word­s, s­quare f­eet es­timate is­ us­e­d to­ re­pre­s­e­nt the­ s­pace­ co­ve­re­d o­r o­ccupie­d b­y­ any­ s­pe­cific o­b­j­e­ct.
