Construction Live Tool

Footing & Foundation Volume Calculator

Calculate concrete required for spread (pad) footings and strip footings, per-footing and total volumes with ready-mix allowance.

V = L × W × D × n · V_ready = V_total × (1 + wastage/100)

Concrete Mix Design Calculator

Compute per-batch and per-cubic-meter quantities of cement, sand, aggregate, and water from a mix ratio.

V_dry = V × 1.54 · M_mat = V_dry × (ratio / Σ ratios) · Water = w/c × cement mass

Construction Live Tool

Rebar Quantity Takeoff Calculator

Estimate number of reinforcement bars required for slabs and walls based on spacing and cover.

Bars = ⌊(L - 2c) / s⌋ + 1
Construction Live Tool

Masonry & Block Quantity Calculator

Estimate block quantities, mortar volume, and wall material takeoff from wall geometry and joint thickness.

N = ceil(L/courseW) × ceil(H/courseH) · Mortar = V_bed + V_perp
Construction Live Tool

Steel Weight Calculator

Compute structural steel and reinforcement weight for plates, bars, pipes, and standard sections using steel density.

W = V × ρ_steel (ρ ≈ 7,850 kg/m³)

Construction Cost Escalation & Scenario Calculator

Escalate a base construction cost to a target date with a user-supplied annual rate and compare alternative escalation scenarios.

C(t) = C₀ × (1 + r/100)^n · n = days ÷ 365.25
Construction Live Tool

Embodied Carbon Screening & Comparison Calculator

Compare two design options on screened embodied carbon using user-supplied emission factors, with breakdown and per-m² intensity.

kgCO₂e = Σ (material quantity × user factor) · intensity = kgCO₂e / area

Stormwater Runoff (Rational Method) Calculator

Estimate peak stormwater runoff with the Rational Method (Q = C·i·A) for drainage design and storm sewer sizing.

Q = 2.78 × C × i × A (L/s, A in ha, i in mm/h)
Construction Live Tool

Trench Excavation & Bedding Calculator

Calculate trench excavation volume, pipe displacement, bedding material quantity, and backfill volumes.

V_trench = A × L · Backfill = V_trench − V_pipe − V_bedding
Construction Live Tool

Earthwork Cut and Fill Calculator

Estimate site earth movement balance and bulk haulage volumes with swell and shrinkage factors.

Net = ΣCut − ΣFill (bank m³) · Export = Net × (1 + swell/100) · Import = −Net × (1 + shrink/100)
