cwicr-unit-converter
The CWICR Unit Converter normalizes construction measurements across metric and imperial systems, handling length, area, volume, weight, and time conversions for standardized data integration. Use this skill when importing BIM quantities, cost data, or project measurements from multiple sources or regions that require consistent unit representation for CWICR analysis and reporting.

# CWICR Unit Converter
## Business Case
### Problem Statement
Construction data comes in various unit systems:
- Metric vs Imperial measurements
- Different unit conventions by trade
- BIM quantities need normalization
- Regional standards differ
### Solution
Comprehensive unit conversion for construction quantities, normalizing data for CWICR integration and analysis.
### Business Value
- **Accuracy** - Eliminate unit conversion errors
- **Consistency** - Standardize across projects
- **Integration** - BIM to cost data alignment
- **Global** - Support international projects
