Frequently Asked Questions
Are the calculators really free?
Yes. All 41 calculators, the unit converter, the BOQ tool, and unlimited PDF & Excel exports are free with no sign-up and no usage limits.
How accurate are the estimates?
Calculators use industry-standard formulas (ACI, NEC, and IRC references where applicable) and include adjustable waste factors. All results are estimates โ verify against local building codes and consult licensed professionals for structural work. See ourTermsfor details.
What do the PDF and Excel exports contain?
A branded quotation with your company header, input parameters, itemized results, cost summary with grand total, terms & conditions, quote number, and date โ available in 13 languages.
Is my project data stored or uploaded?
No. Calculations run entirely in your browser. Export files are generated in temporary server memory and discarded immediately after download. Read thePrivacy Policy.
Can I use the results for client bids?
Yes โ that is exactly what the exports are designed for. Contractors use them for material take-offs, supplier orders, and client quotations every day.
Our Estimation Method
Every BuildingCalc tool follows the same quantity-surveying discipline:gross quantity from geometry(length ร width ร thickness, perimeter ร height minus openings, spacing-based counts),plus an adjustable waste factor(typically 5โ15% depending on material and site conditions),rounded up to whole purchasable units (bags, sheets, rolls, boxes), then priced at rates you controlwith labour added separately. Currency pickers change the display symbol only โ amounts are never converted between currencies. Nothing is a black box โ each calculator page documents its formulas, finish levels, and a worked example so you can verify every number by hand.
BuildingCalc is a free estimation aid, not a substitute for engineering judgment. Critical structural, electrical, and gas work must be verified by licensed professionals and local code officials.
