BuilderCalc vs Trim Layout

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 · Drywall · Concrete · Paint · Flooring (LVP, hardwood, laminate, carpet) · Framing (studs, plates, headers) · Roofing (squares, underlayment, ridge cap) · Layout (diagonal squareness, stair stringer, rake/run/rise) · Materials waste · Square footage · Conversions · Volume · Coverage · Cost-per-unit WHO IT'S FOR Contractors, remodelers, handymen, framers, finish carpenters.

Trim Layout is the layout calculator for finish carpenters, trim carpenters, joiners and serious DIYers who want balanced spacing every time — without the guesswork, wasted material or trial and error. Enter your measurements, see an instant scaled diagram, and get exact cut sizes, centers, gaps and running measurements you can mark straight onto the job. SEVEN CALCULATORS IN ONE APP • Wainscoting — panel widths, stiles, rails, cap and baseboard, with equal, spread, focus and alternating layouts, plus picture-frame top panels. • Shaker Wall Paneling — panel grids with battens, openings and outlets. • Shaker Stair Paneling — panels that follow your staircase angle. • Board & Batten — equal or exact centers, any end condition, angled runs. • Angled Spacing — single-slope and gable layouts for raked walls and ceilings. • Diminishing Lengths — tapered members inside a triangle or gable. • Baluster Spacing — railings, between posts and stairs, with gap limits for your building code (US IRC 4" / 4-3/8" on stairs, UK, Canada, Australia, Europe or your own value). BUILT FOR THE JOB • Tap any panel in the diagram to see its exact size and position; open it full screen and zoom in. • Every calculator saves automatically, so you pick up where you left off. • Metric or imperial, set by your region — type mm, inches or feet and inches; fractions to 1/8, 1/16 or 1/32". • Materials & Cost: how many boards to buy, with a cut list that allows for saw kerf and waste, plus the paint you need. • PDF export of inputs, results and diagram for the crew or the client. • Works offline.
