Estimating Support Beyond the Calculators

Most people only need our free online tools. If your project is larger or more complex, we also prepare detailed take-offs and reviewed estimates on request.

Detailed Quantity Take-Offs

Send us your drawings and we return an itemised schedule of concrete, reinforcement, masonry, finishes, and formwork quantities ready for pricing or tendering.

Budget and Cost Planning

We help homeowners and small contractors turn quantities into a realistic budget, with allowances for labour, delivery, wastage, preliminaries, and contingency.

Calculation Reviews for Students and Professionals

Submit your working for a second pair of eyes. We check units, assumptions, mix ratios, and formulas, and explain exactly where a calculation went off track.

Custom Calculators

Need a spreadsheet or web calculator for a repeating in-house task? We can build a simple, clearly documented tool to your own formulas and unit preferences.

CAL estimate calculators are used by homeowners, builders, and engineers across the world, with metric and imperial units for every region.
