Estimate a construction job end to end, in a browser tab. Start from the whole job — a bathroom, a slab, a roof — or from any of 1,151 calculators and 380 trade guides. Enter your measurements once: every figure shows its formula and the standard it comes from, in imperial or metric. Why it's different: No messy spreadsheets, no hidden formulas, and no expensive software clunky UI. You get transparent math and verifiable standards instantly. Tell us what to build next!
Hi Product Hunt! 👋
The Problem:
When planning a construction or DIY project, most online calculators are bloated with ads, outdated, or offer vague single-number estimates. Estimating actual material takeoffs usually means juggling messy spreadsheets, paying for enterprise CAD software, or losing track of loose calculations.
The Solution:
We built CraftQuantities to make construction estimation fast, transparent, and precise. Instead of just giving a single formula result, CQ provides complete material takeoffs, structural assemblies, and unit breakdowns—100% free, private, and running entirely in your browser without requiring an account.
What you can do with CraftQuantities today:
📐 1,151+ Calculators & Assemblies: Calculate exact quantities, waste margins, and itemized lists for drywall, concrete, framing, roofing, and more.
📋 My Project Workspace: Send results directly from any calculator into My Project. Build a full Bill of Materials (BOM), add custom line items, organize by trade/zone, adjust labor & markups, and generate complete client proposals or site estimates.
🔄 Solve Backwards Engine: Have a fixed amount of materials? Reverse-calculate room dimensions or coverage instantly.
⚡ Developer & AI Ready: Built with a clean JSON API, open data (CC BY 4.0), and structured specifically for modern AI workflows.
