Measurement units

Bulido supports two measurement systems, and you decide which one is used for room dimensions and area display in quotes. You'll find the setting under Settings → Regional Settings, in the Units field.

Two options

  • Metric (default): metres, centimetres, square metres (m²), linear metres (lm).
  • Imperial: feet, inches, square feet (ft²), linear feet (ft).

Choice for European companies

Practically every European-registered company leaves it on Metric. That's the default after picking a European country.

Reasons to switch to Imperial:

  • You mainly work with English-speaking clients who think in feet.
  • You collaborate with architects or suppliers in the US/UK and want to skip the conversions.

For most European operations (especially in the remodelling trade), imperial units are impractical. Stay on Metric.

Effect on dimensions and calculations

Once you pick units:

  • Room dimensions (width, length, height) are entered in the matching units.
  • Auto-calculated areas (floor, walls, ceiling) come out in the matching square units.
  • Service units in the catalog (m², lm for metric; ft², ft for imperial) follow the chosen system.

Switching units doesn't automatically convert existing dimensions or catalog services. If you go from metric to imperial, manually verify the dimensions and prices you've already entered.
