About this app
Sixty-two field calculators for seven trades in one app, worked against the published codes and running offline.
ESTIMATES AND REPORTS
- Add to estimate puts a result on a quote; calculators like Wire Size write the line, you price it
- Three steps to a price: who it's for, what's on it, and the total, with tax and a price reduction
- Export PDF or Share sends your logo, the items and the total to the client; switch views for cost and margin, hidden from them
- Estimates print in English, Spanish or Portuguese, independent of app language
- Mark each estimate Accepted or Declined (Share sets Sent), and duplicate it for the next similar job
- A technical report bundles saved calculations into one PDF for an inspector or customer, Pro
WHAT IS INSIDE
- HVAC: superheat and subcooling, P-T charts, refrigerant charge, heat load, duct and pipe sizing, airflow, psychrometrics
- Electrical: wire size, voltage drop, conduit fill, box fill, dwelling and service load, breaker and conductor, motor circuits, transformers, grounding
- Plumbing: water and drainage pipe sizing, fixture units, trap and vent, gas pipe, head loss, slope, septic, water heater, backflow
- Fire protection: sprinkler hydraulics, hazard classification, pipe schedules, hanger spacing, standpipes, fire pumps, alarms, extinguishers, water supply
- Solar: string sizing, inverter matching, wire and voltage drop, batteries, ground mount layout, production and payback, NEC 690 reference
- Carpentry: rafters, stairs, framing, decks, roof area, lumber, drywall, trim, miter and bevel angles, rafter spans
- Construction: concrete volume and fence layout
CODE REFERENCES BUILT IN
- NEC for electrical and solar, cited to the article
- NFPA 13, 14, 20, 25, 72 and 10 for fire protection
- IPC for plumbing, IRC for framing and stairs
- Most code-based results cite the table or section
HOW IT WORKS
Pick your trade at first launch and the app opens on it. Every other trade is one tap away, and search reaches all sixty-two calculators by name, keyword or code reference.
CORE FEATURES
- Works offline
- US customary and metric units
- Feet-and-inches entry: type 12' 6-1/2" or 12.5
- English, Spanish and Portuguese (Brazil)
WHAT IT COSTS
Fifteen calculations are included at no charge. After that, a short video adds five more, or the Pro upgrade removes the limit for good. The same goes for estimates: one estimate is included, a short video adds one more, and Pro removes the limit there too. One client and one price item are included too, with the same video-or-Pro rule.

- Backing a decision with a PDF for the job file
- Studying for a licence or certification exam
WHO IT IS FOR
- Technicians, electricians, plumbers, fitters, installers and carpenters
- Engineers, designers and estimators

Safety starts with understanding how developers collect and share your data. Data privacy and security practices may vary based on your use, region, and age. The developer provided this information and may update it over time.
What’s new
Span Check: rafters only. Floor and ceiling joists, headers and beams are withdrawn; the joist data did not pass a check against IRC 2021. Box Fill: isolated grounding conductors count with the others. Standard breaker sizes start at 10 A (A/C keeps 15 A). Saved calculations in both can read differently. Concrete, Footing: Width is entered in feet; the field was labelled inches. NEC 690 Reference: NEC 2023 or 2026, tables replaced by guides.
