Construction Calculator

Construction Calculator estimates materials for concrete, mix design, rebar, formwork, structural steel, brick, tile, paint, drywall, flooring and roofing — and shows the formula behind every result, so you can trust the number before you order a single bag. 100% offline, no ads, no login.

ESTIMATE ANY MATERIAL

✓ Concrete — slabs, footings, round and square columns → m³, yd³ and premix bags in all 5 sizes at once (40/60/80 lb and 25/40 kg)
✓ Mix design — nominal mixes 1:1:2 to 1:4:8 with the 1.54 dry-volume factor → cement bags, sand m³, aggregate m³ and mixing water in litres
✓ Brick & block — 5 standard sizes including concrete blocks, openings subtracted, adjustable mortar joint → brick count, mortar volume and dry-mix weight
✓ Tile — tile count by size and grout gap, grout in kg by the standard formula, adhesive, spare tiles
✓ Paint — perimeter × height minus doors and windows, number of coats, adjustable coverage → liters and gallons
✓ Drywall — sheets, screws and joint compound for 4×8, 4×10 and 4×12 panels
✓ Flooring — boxes needed from area and coverage per box
✓ Roofing — pitch factor from flat to 12/12 → real roof area, squares and shingle bundles
✓ Rebar — two-way mesh with LAP SPLICES: bar count, splice count, ordered length, stock bars and weight for Ø6–Ø25 mm and US #3–#8 bars
✓ Slope & grade — convert between rise/run, percent, ratio 1:n and degrees, plus the true slope length you actually have to order
