Estimate materials and costs for a house, garage, room remodel or individual building job, from concrete and brickwork to roofing, paint and flooring. CALCULATE MATERIALS • Concrete slabs, foundations, columns, beams and stairs • Cement, mortar, bricks, blocks, plaster and reinforcement • Roof areas, multiple roof slopes and covering quantities • Paint, primer, tiles, flooring and drywall • Excavation, drainage, facades, insulation and windows • Plumbing, electrical and heating-related estimates • Areas, volumes, measurements and unit conversions PLAN BUILDING AND RENOVATION WORK Organize a project into construction phases, save measurements and review calculation results. Use dimension-based 3D previews for supported geometry to understand the elements you enter. Previews do not automatically create or validate a complete architectural or structural design. ESTIMATE COSTS AND PREPARE DOCUMENTS Build material, labour and equipment estimates. Use price-book items, bills of quantities (BOQ), quotes and PDF or CSV exports where supported. Review linked quantities when project measurements change. Enter and check your own prices; estimates are not supplier quotations. FOR CONTRACTORS AND HOMEOWNERS Use EstiForge for building estimates, renovation budgets, material planning and everyday site calculations. Metric and Imperial units, multiple interface languages, saved projects and calculation history help keep your work organized. FREE ACCESS AND PRO Start with the basic calculator, unit converters and selected construction calculators. Free usage and project limits apply. EstiForge Pro Lifetime is an optional one-time in-app purchase that unlocks Pro calculators, unlimited calculations and projects, advanced estimating, PDF/CSV export and ad-free access. The App Store shows the price for your region. Eligible purchases can be restored. IMPORTANT Results are estimates based on your inputs and the selected calculation assumptions. Verify dimensions, material specifications, waste allowances, prices and local requirements before buying materials or starting work. Structural, electrical and other safety-critical work requires review by a qualified professional. EstiForge is not a replacement for an architect, structural engineer or approved construction drawings.
