Formulas Used

• Total Area:
  \(\text{Total Area} = \text{Length} \times \text{Width}\)
  This calculates the total floor area of the room.
• Material Cost:
  \(\text{Material Cost} = \text{Total Area} \times \text{Cost per Unit Area}\)
  This calculates the total cost of materials needed for the renovation.
• Labor Cost:
  \(\text{Labor Cost} = \text{Labor Cost per Hour} \times \text{Estimated Hours}\)
  This calculates the total labor cost based on hourly rate and estimated hours.
• Contingency Cost:
  \(\text{Contingency Cost} = (\text{Material Cost} + \text{Labor Cost} + \text{Additional Costs}) \times \frac{\text{Contingency Percentage}}{100}\)
  This calculates the contingency cost to cover unexpected expenses.
• Total Estimated Cost:
  \(\text{Total Estimated Cost} = \text{Material Cost} + \text{Labor Cost} + \text{Additional Costs} + \text{Contingency Cost}\)
  This calculates the total estimated cost of the renovation project.
