BuildMath: Construction Calc

Retrytech LLP

About this app

BuildMath is the construction calculator that works the way your tape measure does. Type 12' 6-1/2" exactly as you read it, add, subtract, multiply and divide in feet, inches and fractions, and get answers you can cut to.

Built for carpenters, framers, roofers, contractors, remodelers and serious DIYers.

FEET, INCHES & FRACTIONS
• Enter dimensions with dedicated Feet, Inch and fraction keys
• Answers rounded to the precision you choose, from 1/2" down to 1/64"
• Every result instantly shown in decimal feet, inches, yards and meters
• Mix in metric whenever you need it: m, cm and mm

ROOF FRAMING IN TWO TAPS
Enter any two of pitch, rise and run, and BuildMath solves the rest:
