StairBuilderPro vs Roof Guide

From the creator of BalusterPro comes StairBuilderPro, a unique stair stringer layout tool designed specifically for the iPad. Simply enter your dimensions on the graphical interface and StairBuilderPro will plot all of the points on your board needed for a perfectly cut stringer. For advanced users, a single tap will plot all of the points at once or with the step through method, the app will visually walk you through the entire process one step at a time. All there is left to do is connect the dots and cut along these lines. It is that simple. Unlike all the other stair stringer layout guides, there is no need for a framing square, stair gauges or any previous knowledge for building stairs. The only tools you will need are a pencil, tape measure, straight edge and a saw! Works in both imperial and metric measurements. Check out the video demo at my website to see StairBuilderPro in action. Check out my other construction related apps....BalusterPro for a baluster spacing calculator & TilePro for a simple tile layout tool.

Roofing and framing carpentry calculator, decking, stairs, concrete, stud wall calculators. In addition to the roof calculators the decking / flooring, stud wall and concrete calculators also estimate quantities and costs. US or metric measurements. Developed by a carpenter and builder, used by carpenters, roofers, contractors, builders and construction pros in over 40 countries around the world. Roof Guide (previously Roofers Guide) is not a 'How to App’ - you know how! It is designed to save you the time and effort required for roof, framing, deck, stairs & other building / construction calculations Accurate, reliable and easy to use, it is an indispensable tool for the construction pro. Metric or Imperial (feet, inches and fractions of an inch (or decimal) Print, email or reports. Never forget your span or rafter tables, red roofing book and other standalone construction calculators again! CALCULATIONS INCLUDE: ROOF FRAMING:- - Rafter,Hip/Valley Lengths - Multiple cut angles, including for compound saw - Template (adjustable) sizes for the same cuts - where used - Setout of Creepers/Jack Rafters(US), ridge and wall - Roof Pitch Factor degrees, inches (US), D:M:S - Rise : Run ratio - Birdsmouth calculations - Drop or Chamfer Hip adjustments - Multiple heights measures, including:- top/bottom of ridge, roof centre, - Hypotenuse calculations eg: Calculate Pitch from ridge rise - Adjust pitching plate heights where one wall is higher eg Bulkheads - Ridge length, area, rake factors - Print, email or message reports DECKING & FLOORING SETOUT, MATERIAL ESTIMATING and COSTING:- - Options for Insets, single or double bearers - Set Spacing type to maximum, fixed or equal - Set pricing for materials / labour to calculate cost and cost/area TIMBER SETOUT:- - Set Spacing type to maximum, fixed or equal - Insets at start and end. STUD WALLS SETOUT, MATERIAL ESTIMATING and COSTING:- - Raked or flat walls - Sizing, Quantity & Cost Estimates - Timber (studs, noggins, plates) & Sheeting - Comprehensive setout lists - bottom, top - Align sheets on width, length or no sheets STAIR FRAMING (currently for single stair runs):- Permits Multiple restrictions on risers, treads, inclines and also allows application of 2R+G (2R+TD in US) in jurisdictions required - to meet standards. Other than StairCalc (which is our Stair only app) we do not know of an app that does this simultaneously. Also calculations allow for situations where the overall stair rise and run are fixed or variable allowing maximum flexibility. - Number and size of step risers, treads, step inclines, - Step incline (Also changeable), - Stairwell opening, - Stringer Lengths CONCRETE CALCULATOR / ESTIMATOR:- - Calculate quantities for slabs, footings, round and rectangular/square holes. - Estimates total volume and cost allowing for waste. CONVERTER:- - Convert Lengths, Area, Volume: Metric and US/Imperial. - Work in Decimal units or Yds/Ft/In/Fraction format to Metric, decimal US. EASY TO USE GENERAL CALCULATOR WITH TAPE: - Calculate (add, subtract etc) directly in feet / inches / fractions or decimals. - Common functions for quick calculation EXTENSIVE HELP: Extensive help - Tap twice on most buttons for more info. Optimised for all iPhones and iPads in portrait mode. INFOGUIDE: Infoguide is part of a small building firm based in Western Australia. This app was created by a former Roof Framing Carpenter for our team of carpenters. We use it and believe it will be as helpful to other carpenters as it was for us.
