Concrete, brick, tile, paint, drywall & rebar estimator with formulas shown.
Read full description
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. No login, and the calculators keep working with no signal on the job site.
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 → cement bags, sand, aggregate and mixing water
✓ Brick & block — 5 standard sizes including concrete blocks, single or double wythe walls, openings subtracted, adjustable mortar joint → brick count, mortar volume and dry-mix weight
✓ Tile — tile count by size and grout gap, grout in kg, adhesive, spare tiles
✓ Paint — walls minus doors and windows, 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, splices, ordered length, stock bars and weight for Ø6–Ø25 mm and US #3–#8
✓ Slope & grade — rise/run, percent, 1:n and degrees, plus the true slope length to order
✓ Plaster & screed — walls (openings deducted), ceilings and floor screeds → mortar, cement and sand
✓ Plot & land area — rectangle, triangle, trapezoid or any 4-sided plot (4 sides + 1 diagonal) → m², hectares, acres, perimeter
✓ Room takeoff — length × width × height plus doors and windows → floor area, net wall area, perimeter, skirting and volume in one go
BUILT FOR TRUST
• "Show formula" on every calculator — see exactly how your number was computed, with all source values
• Adjustable waste % — you decide the safety margin, not the app
• Mix metric and imperial in one calculation — every length field has its own unit selector
• Cost mode — add unit prices, get money totals
• Metric or imperial default units, numbers formatted for your locale, your own currency symbol (₫, $, €…)
• No login — your numbers, projects and prices stay on the phone
HOW IT WORKS

★ No ads
★ Price book — save material prices once, reuse them in any calculator
★ Formwork — contact area for slabs, beams, columns, walls and footings → plywood sheets with reuse count and release oil
★ Structural steel weight — round, square, flat, pipe, RHS/SHS, angle and plate → kg/m, total kg and tonnes
★ Fence & deck layout, concrete stairs with code warnings, cut & fill earthwork with swell and shrinkage factors
★ Markup & tax — add profit and VAT to a project; both show in the total, PDF and CSV
★ Unlimited projects, each with as many line items as you need
ADS & PRIVACY
The free version shows ads from Google AdMob and Unity Ads, which may use your device's advertising ID; you are asked for consent where the law requires it. Anonymous usage data (screens, features, error codes) helps improve the app — never your numbers, project names, prices or results. Turn it off in Settings.
Results are estimates; check structural work against your local code. Plot areas are guidance, not a land survey.
Made for builders, painters, DIY renovators and estimators.
