SiteCalcConstruction calculator

Feet, inches and fractions. Right the first time.

Add 16′ 6-1/2″ to 3′ 7-3/4″ and read the answer three ways at once: feet-inch, decimal inches and millimetres. SiteCalc is a construction calculator for carpenters, contractors and serious DIYers — count the concrete bags, lay out the stringer, order the shingles.

Six tools, one app

The calculator in your tool pouch, plus the ones you wish it had

01

Feet-Inch

A keypad that takes 9-5/8″, 10′ 3.5″, 5 ft 14 in or 2400 mm as you go, with a running paper tape. Divide a span into equal marks, space balusters or joists evenly.

02

Concrete

Slabs, footings, columns, tubes and steps in cubic yards or metres. Bags by brand yield, truck loads rounded up, waste included.

03

Framing

Studs, plates and headers; joists; common, hip, valley and irregular rafters with the birdsmouth worked out; jack rafter lists; rake walls.

04

Stairs

Risers, treads, both stringer lengths clearly labelled, the first-riser cut, a running-measurement table, and the code limits beside the results.

05

Roof

Pitch in x/12, degrees or percent; area, squares, shingles, ridge cap, underlayment, tiles and sheets.

06

Convert

Exact factors for length, area, volume, mass and density. Switch to metric and the whole app follows.
