Terms of Use
Estimates only
All calculator results are estimates for planning purposes. Actual material needs depend on ground conditions, waste, compaction and local practice.
Not professional advice
Nothing on this site is engineering, construction or financial advice. For structural work, follow your local building code and consult a qualified professional.
Accuracy
We check our formulas, but we do not guarantee that results are error-free. Always confirm final quantities with your supplier before ordering.
Liability
BuildCalc is not liable for any loss arising from the use of estimates from this site.
Use of content
You may use the calculators free of charge for personal and commercial projects. Do not copy the site's content and present it as your own.
Acceptance of these terms
By using BuildCalc, you accept these Terms. If you do not accept them, please do not use the site. These Terms cover all calculators, tools, blog guides and other pages on BuildCalc.
What BuildCalc provides
BuildCalc provides free calculators, tools and guides for general information. There is no account, no sign-up and no paid tier. The site is provided as it is, and availability may change without notice.
Results are estimates only
Calculator and tool results are estimates and general information only, based on the numbers you enter. They are not professional advice for building, finance, tax, law, medicine, health or safety. Always confirm quantities, costs, doses, tax figures and safety decisions with a qualified professional or your supplier before acting on a result. BuildCalc is not responsible for decisions made from a result alone.
Your responsibility
You are responsible for the numbers you enter and for checking that they make sense for your situation. If a value does not make sense, the calculator may ask you to check it instead of showing a wrong answer, but the final check is yours. Do not enter passwords, bank details, card details or government ID into any calculator or tool.
Content and ownership
Text, guides, calculator formulas and page designs on BuildCalc are original to BuildCalc, except where a page says otherwise. You may use the site for personal and business calculations, but you may not copy whole pages, claim them as your own, or resell the site as a product. Links to BuildCalc pages are welcome.
Third-party services and links
Some tools use free public services, such as live rates, weather, QR codes and barcodes, and some pages link to other websites. Those services and sites have their own terms and policies. BuildCalc does not control them and is not responsible for their content, availability or accuracy.
Advertising
BuildCalc may show advertising, including through Google AdSense. Advertisements are not endorsements by BuildCalc, and BuildCalc is not responsible for products or services advertised by others.
Acceptable use
Do not use BuildCalc to break the law, to attack the site, to scrape the site in a way that harms other visitors, or to enter harmful code into any form or tool. BuildCalc may block access that harms the site or other visitors.
Liability
To the fullest extent allowed by law, BuildCalc is not liable for loss, damage, cost or injury arising from use of the site, its results, its tools, its guides, third-party services or linked sites. Your only remedy for a problem with the site is to stop using it.
