Read full descriptionHide full description
Construction Calculator Pro: feet, inches and fractions with no rounding drift, plus stair, rafter, framing, drywall and concrete calculators. One-time unlock, no subscription, no ads. Fully in English and Spanish. For carpenters, framers, concrete finishers, masons, drywallers and remodelers. One app for the numbers, the measuring and the paperwork, built to work with gloves on and zero bars of signal. REPLACES A HANDHELD CONSTRUCTION CALCULATOR — AND DOES MORE If you've used a dedicated feet-inch-fraction construction calculator on site, Construction Calculator Pro does that math and then some. Type "6 ft 9 1/2 in + 2 ft 3/4" and it just works — feet, inches, and fractions, added, subtracted, multiplied, and divided with no rounding drift. A real fraction key, voice entry, one-tap unit conversion, and a full undo tape. No separate device to charge, lose, or leave in the truck — it's the calculator that's already in your pocket. TEN TRADE CALCULATORS, EACH WITH A TO-SCALE DIAGRAM • Stairs — risers, riser height, tread, total run, stringer, stairwell opening • Roof & Rafters — pitch, plumb cut, cut length, tail, rise, board stock • Concrete — cubic yards, cubic feet, 60/80 lb bags, weight • Wall Framing — stud count, plate lumber • Drywall — net area, 4x8 and 4x12 sheet counts • Masonry — CMU blocks, bricks, mortar bags • Circle, Polygons, Square-Up, and 3D Shapes — area, perimeter, volume, miter and diagonal MEASURE AND INSPECT • AR tape measure — point the camera, tap two points, read the distance • Unit converter — lengths, areas, slopes, and survey measures • Spirit level — linear, bullseye, and a locking torpedo vial with haptics • Stud finder — sweep the wall for studs and metal • Sound meter — a phone-mic estimate of jobsite noise • Inspector — camera and flashlight for tight, dark spaces • Topography — map floor dips, crowns, and flatness SAVE THE PROOF, SHARE A CLEAN RECORD Save any measurement, angle, or result — auto-named with type, date, time, and an optional jobsite location. Attach photos, mark them up, then export a branded PDF or PNG ledger, or back the whole set up to a .plumb file. Turn on Custom Branding to stamp your own business name and logo on every export. WORKS WITH ZERO BARS Your measurements, photos, and notes live on the device. No account, no login, no cloud — measure in a basement, a bare shell, or the middle of nowhere.
