- Builders and DIYers estimating materials or dimensions
- Worth noticing
- The stair calculator includes an IRC check; the site says it references model code and reminds users to verify local rules.
Field notes
The calculator links cover both common estimates and more specialized tasks: log board-foot calculations offer three named scaling methods, while the stair tool lists risers, treads, stringer length, and an IRC check. The site says it tests formulas against hand-worked examples and identifies assumptions such as material density or waste. Its quick-reference figures include an asphalt conversion, but the supplied extract does not expose the calculators themselves.
