After nine months of development and testing by pros from around the world, BuildCalc for Android is ready to give you more - more function and more answers with less complexity, less hassle, and less confusion.
MORE FUNCTIONALITY:
• Advanced Baluster Function: Complete layout of railing and staircase balusters with less guess work - and with all the flexibility you need for every custom job.
• Advanced Stair function: Stair layouts for professional results - including dimensioned drawings of your Stringer, Stringer Installation, and Finished Staircase. And you can email a PDF of these drawings right from BuildCalc so you can print them or share them.
• Fence Function: Give BuildCalc a fence row length and it will tell you how many posts, rails, pickets, and or panels you need.
• Interactive Functions: The Stair, Baluster, Compound Miter, Diagonal and Hip/Valley functions are now fully interactive. Want to change input values? Change the Run? Switch between Regular and Irregular Hip Roof analysis? You can do this and your results will be updated automatically - without you needing to remember what key to press.
• New Full Daylight Visibility Mode
MORE ANSWERS:
• You are no longer tied down to: only one brick, block or tile size for the masonry function; a fixed number of drywall sheet sizes; only one footer cross sectional area; or one size of shingles and sheathing. If you don’t see the size you want, you can add as many as you need. And for area input, you can store your custom sizes in Length x Width format, so you won’t have to do mental gymnastics to figure out what was the dimensions for that last size you stored.
• Want to cut your hip roof rafter using a miter saw ... or a circular saw using a hand-held protractor? With a tap of a button, BuildCalc will automatically switch between Miter Saw and Protractor results. BuildCalc can do this for Compound Miters, too.
• Sheathing Angles, Purlin Angles, Gable Area, Backing Angles, Plan Angles, Rough vs. Finished Stair Layout Dimensions, Stringer Throat, Stringer installation dimensions ... and a lot more not found on other construction calculators.
LESS COMPLEXITY AND LESS HASSLE:
• Tired of having to press and press and press buttons to get the results of a calculation? BuildCalc puts an end to this. For all advanced functions, you get ALL of your results in list form with just one or two key taps.
• And, rather than having to write down those results, all advanced functions allow you to save your results so you can recall the complete results at your convenience.
• Less “quirks”. Have you been annoyed by arcane key stroke sequences on other construction calculators? We are too. BuildCalc streamlined the keystrokes to do a better job of giving you less “errors” and more results. Don’t remember what you have to enter before a Hip Rafter or Stair calculation? Well, now you don’t have to. BuildCalc will provide you with a check list of inputs and on-the-spot help to get it right.
• Drywall and Masonry “Room Mode”: If you have stored a Length, Width and Height for a room, BuildCalc will give you the Drywall or Masonry required for the walls and the ceiling / floor - with only a tap of the Drywall or Masonry button. No more pondering over complex key sequences ... it just works.
• Full Construction Master® Pro emulation. BuildCalc is in no way affiliated with Calculated Industries, owners of the Construction Master trademark.
I came here to dl ur app because cm pro by calculating industry's screwed me over when they moved to subscription base app and I just have to say this calculator is far better i hope that the same doesn't happen here.
Fast and easy. Don't have to press buttons when the entirety of the solutions are in sheet form. Very useful and saves time
This app is GREAT! I've had this and Construction Master Pro on my phone for years! But BuildCalc has been the one I choose to use daily! Now with Construction Masters greed BuildCalc is an even better value not to mention a better Calculator! Don't hesitate once you have this on your device you will use it more than you thought you would! Love this app!!
I've been building 40 plus years. This is one of my favorite tools in my business and as a professional carpenter. You might say it is the "Festool" of the carpenters app world. Do not hesitate to purchase this app, it is the best, stable, and personally well suported by the owner, answers immediately. I am eagerly waiting for the desktop version! Thank you "BuildCalc"!

I'm having trouble with this app I do 25ft _4 13/16 twice and divided by two and the result is 21_9 instead of 12_1 1/8 I need help
Thanks for picking up the ball when the other company dropped it, as in they lost everyone's perpetual license. I prefer this Calc in every way, it even works great with my foldable! Split screen mode with this on the left and notes on the right is perfect! Keep up the good work!
Construction master pro shut my app down with a paywall after I had purchased the pro version over a decade ago. My pro subscription info didn't transfer to my new phone, and I was unwilling to spend the time to try and find my original order to prove my purchase. I went to purchase it again when I realized they wanted 40 bucks a year for a subscription, no thanks. This app functions great in my initial testing, and I liked the developers' comments, so I gave them my money instead.
PDF layout drawings will not open in most recent version of Android
