## What is BuildCalc?

Type the sizes. Get the shopping list.

BuildCalc turns measurements into exact material quantities — concrete, tile, lumber, paint, gravel, drywall and more — with waste, price and “already have” built in.

200 CALCULATORS, ONE SEARCH
• Concrete: slabs, footings, piers, stairs, block walls, rebar
• Framing: studs, joists, sheathing, board feet, deck boards
• Roofing & exterior: shingles, underlayment, siding, roof pitch, rafters
• Interior: paint, drywall, tile, thinset, wallpaper, baseboard, insulation
• Landscaping: mulch, gravel, topsoil, sod, pavers, raised beds
• Electrical & plumbing: Ohm’s law, voltage drop, conduit fill, pipe volume, BTU, CFM
• Converters: metric ↔ imperial, fractions, board feet and more

SEE IT BEFORE YOU BUILD
• Live 3D previews drawn from your numbers: stairs, decks, fences, roofs, tile layouts
• AR tape measure: point the camera, tap, and the length drops into the field
• AR at real size: place your finished deck, stairs, fence, patio or garden bed in your yard at 1:1 scale and walk around it

LIVE PROJECT TEMPLATES
• Deck, fence, raised bed, paver patio, deck stairs, garden shed
• Move the sliders — the full bill of materials recounts live, down to the screws
• Build sequence included, add everything to the shopping list in one tap
