- The site reports floor-plane RMS error of 14 mm and wall error of 8–14 mm, while warning that cuts still need checking.
Field notes
The stated capture hardware is limited to devices with LiDAR: the page lists iPhone Pro models from the 12 Pro onward and iPad Pro models from 2020 onward. Its accuracy section separates floor-plane and wall measurements, and also gives a 95th-percentile range of 15–31 mm. The site cautions that anything cut to size still needs to be measured, and that a joiner or surveyor remains necessary where the job calls for one.
