We only really work in whole number for flooring, and dont get into decimal places for our quantities.
This could be tackled in several ways, either provide us the option to takeoff the original measurements in whole numbers, or do the rounding in the bill of quantities.
The concern would be doing it in the bill would lead to discrepancies between the measurement in takeoff and that showing in the bill.
So it probably needs to be done at the takeoff level, so the figures are the same in both. I would suggest this is something we could set alongside the scale of the drawing. Eg You set the scale, unit of measure displaying in, and also how many decimal places the measures should round to. The default being the current 2 decimals, with an option for 1 decimal or whole numbers?
