Before starting calculations, it should be understood that roof and roofing – are not identical concepts. By «roof» we mean the entire system that stands on the mauerlat: rafters, battens, counter-battens, various types of insulation, and finally the roofing material, i.e., directly «roofing». The online roof calculator with drawings provides data on both the roof and roofing – in a convenient format for you.
A convenient calculator that allows you to calculate the foundation (strip or pile), adapted for use on both desktops and mobile devices: wherever you are, you can enter the parameters of the future foundation and find out how many materials will be needed. You can then save the calculation results in one of the offered formats – .png or PDF.
When drawing up an estimate, an accurate calculation of materials for building a house is necessary to optimize costs. A specially designed online calculator will be your best assistant. You can choose bricks, blocks of various sizes, and set other parameters, up to the proportions of the mortar. As a result, you will get a material calculation for the construction of a specific building in minutes.
Staircase – is one of the main attributes in a house, it not only helps to move easily between floors but also serves as the main decorative element. Moreover, the correct calculation of this structural element directly affects safety. This series of online calculators will suit all your needs. It will help to make an accurate calculation and take all details into account. You will only need to print the finished drawings.
In this section, we have tried to select online construction material calculators that will greatly assist you in building a house or renovating an apartment. You can calculate the quantity of materials for walls, floors, ceilings, and also get accurate calculations of timber and their costs. To calculate the material you are interested in, simply select the necessary calculator, fill in the required fields, and click the calculate button.
Online calculators represent various solutions for calculating the most demanded structures. Beam calculation is performed for both deflection and strength, using wood and metal. The configuration itself is also calculated - volume, weight, etc. Additionally, there are calculations for trusses from profile pipes of various shapes: triangular, trapezoidal, single-pitch, double-pitch, etc. The calculator will provide exact dimensions of all nodes and each detail.
Metal calculator – convenient online service for instant calculation of metal product weight. The calculation uses metal weight tables and special formulas. To determine the weight, you need to know the type of metal product, length, and dimensions (for example, nominal diameter). Depending on the size of the product, select the appropriate calculator and enter the data for calculation.
Building thermal engineering is an important stage in the construction of residential buildings and other premises. It ensures comfort and proper technical operation of the building itself. This category includes calculators for calculating all types of heating (radiator, water heated floors, electric heated floors), and thermal calculations for enclosing structures (not only walls for heat preservation, but also moisture accumulation calculation and potential dew point formation).
How can we manage without electricity nowadays? Not at all! It is everywhere, we encounter it constantly. We have collected a number of calculators for calculating everything related to it. Resistors, cable calculation by cross-section and weight. Our calculators will also help you choose the right lighting for rooms. All calculators are checked and written by professionals, and of course, they are absolutely free for you
During construction, geometry is absolutely indispensable. Even for site layout, we need the Pythagorean theorem, the formula for calculating the area and perimeter of the site. And for the construction itself - geometry alone! We have created a number of calculators, the calculations of which we need constantly. With us, you can calculate angles, volumes, areas, loads, and much more. All this is done to save your time and maximize convenience.
Money for construction plays one of the main roles. How can you start without it? Not at all! During the construction process, we need to not only optimize expenses on the construction site itself but also be able to manage them properly outside of construction. With the help of our online financial calculators, you can efficiently, quickly, and accurately calculate your expenses, loans, fuel consumption of a car, and much more.
Builder-Calc.com - this is a simple and understandable calculator for calculating roofs, rafter systems, foundations, walls, stairs. The calculation results, drawings, and 3D-models on the site are available for download. Builder-Calc.com - it will save you a lot of time and calculate everything for you quickly and accurately.
Our calculators can calculate materials in rolls, sheets, or packages: the database includes data for foam blocks, timber, construction mixes, and most other popular goods.
Construction material calculator allows obtaining other useful information – about future load on structures, recommended angles between various elements, etc.
Every day we work on developing our service, creating new calculators that are in demand among numerous users
We also want to note that our service is easy to use on all devices: smartphones, tablets, desktop computers. With an adaptive interface, it will be easier to enter data for calculation, which will also save your time.
All calculators for different types of building materials are designed according to a single principle, so the usage algorithm will be the same.
Start by specifying the type of building material. The consumption per linear or square meter of different materials may vary – it depends on the presence/absence of overlap, number of layers, support points, masonry rows, etc.
All dimensions are specified in centimeters. Do not get confused with the number of zeros: for example, to calculate the foundation, you need to specify its width as 40 cm, not 0.4 m. It is advisable to keep the project documentation at hand during calculations (specifically its structural section, which indicates the dimensions).
Specify additional positions if necessary: the list is available under the fields to be filled. Remember that these are not all the necessary consumables (see Useful information for the estimator).
The list of materials, the necessary quantity of which will be calculated by the construction calculator, – this is not yet a finished estimate. For most positions, you will need consumables – fasteners and hardware, compounds for rough processing, materials for waterproofing, vapor, wind, thermal, and sound insulation, reinforcing elements, shields and spacers for formwork, etc. Altogether, they will add up to a significant amount in the estimate.
Part of the positions (for example, for the roof, this is timber for the mauerlat, counter-batten strips, waterproofing, insulation) allows to foresee the calculator itself (see the column with data fields). Others need to be calculated independently, based on the specifics of the materials.
On each page with a calculator, there is a link to send a comment. Here you can ask developers a question, point out an error (the site is under development and is constantly being improved).
The construction calculator online operates without considering your region's conditions (data on wind and snow loads, groundwater level, soil type, and its bearing capacity, etc.), therefore all the obtained data should be verified with a specialist before purchasing materials – with a structural engineer or at least a cost estimator.
