All-in-One Build Calculators
$0.99 · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Plan smarter with BuildCalc. Get fast material estimates for stairs, decks, fences and siding, customize design limits, and build with greater confidence.
Fast construction math for builders and DIYers. BuildCalc turns your measurements into layouts and material lists in seconds. No account, no ads, and nothing you enter ever leaves your phone.
STAIR CALCULATOR
Lay out stairs with confidence. Enter your total rise and run, and BuildCalc works out risers, treads and stringer layout. Easy-to-read illustrations show exactly what to cut, making stair building a breeze. [Add stringer length, throat depth or other outputs.]
FENCE
Plan any fence run quickly. [Add confirmed features, e.g. post spacing, rails, pickets or boards, gates.]
DECK
From framing to finish. Work out your deck materials, including baluster gap layout so your railing spacing comes out even.
SIDING
Measure walls, gables and all. The siding calculator handles gable walls as well as standard walls [and openings for windows and doors], so your estimate matches the real job.
UNIT CONVERTER
Switch between metric and imperial in a tap, with rounding to the nearest 1/16 or 1/32 inch for measurements you can read straight off a tape.
MATERIAL ORDER LISTS
Every calculator builds a material order for you. A 10% waste buffer is added by default, and you can change it to suit the job. Copy the full list with one tap and send it to your supplier for faster quotes.
YOUR CODE, YOUR LIMITS
BuildCalc doesn’t assume one country’s building code. Every check uses limits you set, so the app works wherever you build. Always confirm requirements with your local authority.
METRIC AND IMPERIAL
Work in the units you think in. Use feet and inches or metric throughout the app.
BUILT FOR THE JOB SITE
