The construction calculator a contractor actually uses on the job site — tile, drywall, concrete, paint, framing — every material estimate, with waste built in. Tap a project. Answer 2–3 questions. BuilderCalc tells you exactly how much to buy — humanized ("Buy 3 gallons, about $90–$140"), the shopping list to bring, and the mistakes that cost real money every year. FIVE GUIDED PROJECT FLOWS • Paint a room — wall area minus openings, primer + coats, gallon estimate • Tile a bathroom — square footage, box count, waste factor, grout volume • Build a deck (Pro) — joist spacing, beams, posts, footings, decking, fasteners • Install drywall (Pro) — sheets by room, screws, mud, tape • Pour a concrete slab (Pro) — slab, footers, columns, bags or yards EVERY FLOW INCLUDES • The humanized result, not just decimals • The shopping list to bring to the hardware store • The mistakes to dodge — sourced from JLC, Fine Homebuilding, This Old House, and the IRC PLUS 14 PRO CALCULATORS UNDERNEATH Tile Ā· Drywall Ā· Concrete Ā· Paint Ā· Flooring (LVP, hardwood, laminate, carpet) Ā· Framing (studs, plates, headers) Ā· Roofing (squares, underlayment, ridge cap) Ā· Layout (diagonal squareness, stair stringer, rake/run/rise) Ā· Materials waste Ā· Square footage Ā· Conversions Ā· Volume Ā· Coverage Ā· Cost-per-unit WHO IT'S FOR Contractors, remodelers, handymen, framers, finish carpenters.
