BuildCalc App Reviews

This app is better than the Construction Master 4 or 5 that I have used in the past. If not for all the great features the fact I lost ("had borrowed") 2 CM calculators but dont plan on losing or loaning my iPhone. Get the app, learn to use it, be a better builder!

Amazing (within 12 hour) customer service/dev response and continued dialogue until questions were answered for a little different rafter method on a-frame. Using this to teach my home-schooled son how to calc.

Crashed on my 3G and crashes on my 4S. Tried to contact manufacturer multiple times but no reply. 20 dollars wasted. I wish I had 8 more hands to give this app 10 thumbs down.

I had problems with the calculator not giving me the correct answer, but I had an email answer within 24 hours with the fix. You cannot ask for a better customer service than from this app.

After trying Buildcalc and cmpro Buildcalc is clearly the winner. Just like the ad says it is better with more features and easier to use and to display all calculated results.

Its great app itself and online help instantly answered my problem. Thank you!Get This App!!!

Please update for iPhone 5 screen. I will change it to 5 stars when this happens because other than that it is a great app.

I do so love the baluster layout function.... It frees up so much time to do what I love best: grinding! Also great for quick modifications to layout. Only sometimes it crashes on save, would also be nice to be able to save jobs separately. But that wont detract from my 5 star rating!

App has not been updated to support iPhone 5 after its been out for over a year. Dont buy this app, its dead.

I have been using this app for a couple of years and before that a separate Builders Calculator. As a carpenter this has become an invaluable tool and has really transformed my phone into something much more. I have had no complaints at all with the performance of this app until the dawn of IOS7. As mentioned in another recent review, the sounds of the key pad are gone and the display is too small forcing fractions to be cut off visually. I hope the developers havent fallen asleep at the wheel and keep on top of these changes. I really dont want to familiarize myself with a new building calculator app or for that matter go back to carrying a separate calculator altogether. Cmon, step up and stay on the cutting edge! Thanks.

Im a general contractor and this app has become the only calculator I use and as you all know we go through calculator after calculator looking for the right app for all our varied building needs. My search stopped here.

It is once again the best construction calculator now that it supports the iPhone 5 and I os 7!

Great app for iphone 5 and ios 7 better than construction master pro

Just bought the iphone6. This was one of the first apps I re-downloaded. It works great with the new IOS8.

Im a professional timber framer and Ive used a construction master pro trig model for years. This can do all if that and much more. It goes beyond being a calculator and performs like a piece of software. I still use the CM for simple feet and inch stuff and BuildCalc for anything serious.

I am a timber framer and our shop also does lots of other architectural projects out of heavy timber. This is the construction calculator you want. I use it on a daily basis and it has never failed me. I use it for simple to very complex and it saves untold amounts of time. It does hawkindale calculations and with the touch of a key explains them, including square tail fascias. My boss frequently asks me to verify his autocad drawings for entry errors. I cannot recommend it enough.

Hello my name is Luke P, Im a professional framer out of NJ. I Been using Buildcalc for about a year now and I gotta say its absolutely amazing! It gives you everything you need in roof framing- I do no most of all the formulas to be done without the calculator, but this really does save time in the field! Thanks Buildcalc!
