Smart Construction Tools

1. Metal Structures: Surface Area Calculator Added A new Metal Surface Area Calculator has been added to the Metal Structures section. Metal Surface Area is an engineering calculator for quickly calculating the length, weight, and surface area of rolled metal products. Add multiple items to a shared list, view totals for each profile type, and generate a PDF report for work, estimates, or sharing results. The calculator is suitable for determining the surface area required for painting, priming, anti-corrosion treatment, and preparation of steel structures. Available calculations: Channels I-beams Round pipes Square tubes Rectangular tubes Angles Sheet metal For structural steel sections, select the applicable standard, series, and size, then enter either the length or weight. The app automatically calculates the remaining values and determines the surface area. For sheet metal, two input methods are available: By dimensions: width, length, thickness, and number of sheets By weight: total weight and sheet thickness Sheet-metal calculations use a steel density of 7,850 kg/m³. The treatment area is calculated for the two main faces of the sheet; edge surfaces are not included. The results include: Weight of each added item Length of the metal product Surface treatment area Totals for individual profile groups Grand total for all added items Separate calculation of the internal surface area for round pipes Export of a detailed PDF report 2. Lumber: Surface Area Calculator Added A new Lumber Surface Area Calculator has been added to the Lumber section. This calculator determines the total length and surface area of wooden elements. Add multiple items to a list, receive separate totals for each material type, and generate a PDF report for work, estimating, or sharing results. It helps calculate the area required for painting, impregnation, priming, varnishing, antiseptic treatment, and fire-retardant treatment of wood. The calculator supports two types of wooden elements: Rectangular profile: timber, boards, battens, and other rectangular-section elements Round timber: logs, poles, round posts, and other circular-section elements For rectangular wooden profiles, specify: Element width Element height Length of one piece Number of pieces The calculator automatically determines: Total length of all pieces Lateral surface area End-face area Total treatment area For round timber, specify: Element diameter Length of one piece Number of pieces The results include: Parameters of each added item Total length of profiles and round timber Lateral surface area End-face area Total treatment area Separate totals for rectangular profiles and round timber Grand total for all wooden elements Ability to delete individual items and quickly clear the entire list Export of a detailed PDF report 3. Estimate: A New Section for Construction Estimates and Commercial Proposals Estimate is a new section for preparing construction calculations and commercial proposals directly in the app. Create estimates for construction, renovation, finishing, installation, and other types of work. Divide each estimate into convenient stages such as foundations, walls, roofing, building services, finishing, landscaping, or any custom sections. Add work items and materials from the catalog, specify quantities, units of measurement, and unit prices. All totals are recalculated automatically, and the amount for each section and the entire estimate always remains up to date. Features of the “Estimate” section Create multiple estimates for different projects and clients Includes 30 preconfigured sections and more than 2,000 work items Add custom items or edit existing ones Add labor, materials, services, and other cost items Browse a catalog of standard work items and materials with search, categories, and filters Automatic calculation of item costs and section totals Generate a multi-page PDF
