Construction Calculators
Concrete, excavation, paint, materials, and building project calculators.
Construction and renovation projects live or die on accurate material estimates. Order too little and you face costly delays; order too much and you waste money on unused supplies. Our construction calculators help DIYers, contractors, and homeowners estimate concrete, paint, lumber, tile, gravel, roofing, and dozens of other materials.
Each calculator uses industry-standard formulas and typical coverage rates. Enter your project dimensions, select units, and get quantity estimates with waste factors where applicable. Use results for budgeting, shopping lists, and contractor quotes.
From pouring a patio slab to wallpapering a room or building a deck, find the right estimator below. All tools are free and require no download.
Concrete & masonry
Concrete volume for slabs, footings, and columns; brick, block, and paver quantities; rebar spacing estimates.
Finishes & surfaces
Paint coverage, drywall sheets, tile counts, flooring, wallpaper rolls, and drop ceiling materials.
Outdoor & landscaping
Gravel, mulch, topsoil, excavation volume, asphalt, and retaining wall block calculations.
Structural & roofing
Lumber board feet, roof pitch and shingle bundles, gutter lengths, insulation R-value coverage, and deck framing.
