iBeams vs Constropedia Brick Calculator

iBeams is a tool for structural engineers. The app displays various beam and load configurations along with the corresponding reaction, shear, moment, and deflection diagrams. Load and geometric values can be edited.

Brickwork Calculator is a complete masonry and plastering toolkit for site engineers, contractors, masons and DIY builders. Work out bricks, blocks, mortar, cement, sand and plaster in seconds, see the formula behind every figure, and keep it all in a project with its BOQ and site documents. BRICKWORK CALCULATOR (KEYPAD) A site calculator you work with keys, not forms. • Measure: L×H area, L×W×T volume, 3-4-5 diagonal check, curved walls, door and window deductions, undo, CFT and brass • Masonry: bricks, mortar, cement, sand, courses, bricks per m², water, truck loads, labour, closers and cost • Plaster: area, mortar, cement, sand, bags, water, mesh, scaffolding, grooves, labour and cost, for sand or gypsum plaster • Feet, inches and fractions to 1/16", metric units, and sums across units (10 ft + 2 m, 12 ft × 10 ft) • Help mode: tap ? then any key to see what it does ALL IN ONE CALCULATOR Enter a run of walls with their openings and corners, then choose the bond and the jointing (mortar, thin-bed adhesive, face-shell bedding or dry-laid). Get units, closers or bats at each corner, mortar, cement, sand and plaster, with whole-course warnings. The wall schedule is saved to your project and drawn in the chosen bond. QUANTITY CALCULATORS • Clay / Fly Ash Brick, AAC / CLC Block, Sand Plaster, Gypsum / POP Plaster • Bonds: Stretcher, Header, English, Flemish, Stack, English Cross (Dutch) and Garden Wall • Closers: King, Queen, Half and Quarter Bat • Shapes: By Volume, Cube, Wall, L Wall, C Wall, Rectangular Chamber, Wall With Door, Wall With Arch Door, Circular Wall, Compound Wall, Cavity Wall and Buttress Wall SPECIALTY CALCULATORS • Paving: patterns, units and bedding • Arch: voussoirs and arch geometry • Pointing: joint length and mortar for pointing and repointing • Jali: pierced brick screens • Junction Mesh: chicken mesh at RCC and masonry junctions, in running metres and rolls, with nails, labour and cost PROJECTS, BOQ AND SITE DOCUMENTS • Add any calculation to a project's BOQ and edit its lines and rates • Quality: brickwork and plaster checklists, inspection requests, method statements, non-conformance and corrective action reports, snag lists, material approvals • Materials: goods receipt, issue slips, cement register, material ledger and reconciliation, rejection and transfer notes, test certificates • Measurement and billing: measurement sheet, joint measurement, abstract, payment applications and variations • Commercial: quotation, purchase order, work order, rate analysis and payment certificate • Site: daily and weekly progress reports, labour attendance, requests for information, site instructions • Handover: as-built record, completion certificate, snag closure, warranty register and project compendium • Export to PDF and Excel MATERIAL TESTING Record site and lab tests such as compressive strength, water absorption, efflorescence, density, silt content, sand bulking, sieve analysis, setting time, slump, plumb and squareness. Keep them against a project and export to PDF, Word or Excel. MATERIAL LIBRARY AND REGIONS Keep your own bricks, blocks, cement, sand and plaster with sizes and rates, so every calculator starts from your prices. Region settings for India, USA, Canada, Australia, Europe and the Gulf set the currency and local defaults. LEARN AND LOOK UP Explainers and interactive examples, a construction glossary, quick look-up tables, articles, a quiz with a Question of the Day, and a unit converter.
