Construction Calc Lite vs Hammer Construction Calculator

Designed by tradespeople, for tradespeople. Construction Calc Lite handles the heavy lifting of jobsite math—fractions, dimensional conversions, framing, and layout—so you can focus on the build. Whether you're a carpenter, concrete finisher, framer, superintendent, or DIYer, Construction Calc Lite delivers fast, accurate jobsite calculations with zero guesswork. WHY TRADES CHOOSE CONSTRUCTION CALC • True Feet-Inch-Fraction Math: Add, subtract, multiply, and divide in full dimensional fractions down to 1/16th (or user-set precision) with automatic reduction. • Seamless Unit Switching: Effortlessly mix Imperial and Metric. Convert feet-inch-fractions to meters, centimeters, or millimeters in a single tap. • Split-Screen Display: View decimal values, feet/inch fractions, memory registers, and scale factors simultaneously in large, high-visibility text. • Visual Cut & Layout Solvers: Dedicated modules for right triangles, miters, arcs, and baluster spacing complete with clear visual diagrams. • 50 Memory Registers & Full History: Never lose a cut list or measurement. Easily recall previous calculations on the fly.
