Construction Calculators

Figure out how much lumber you're actually buying. Enter a board's dimensions to get board feet per piece, total board feet for your order, and total cost if you know the price per board foot.

Figure out how much gravel to order for a driveway, path, or other area. Enter the area and depth to get the volume and, since gravel is sold by weight, the tonnage to give your supplier.

Figure out how much mulch to buy for your beds. Enter your bed dimensions and depth to get the volume, the number of standard bags, and an estimated delivery weight for bulk mulch.

Figure out how much paint to buy for a room. Enter your room dimensions (or a wall area you already know), the number of doors and windows, and how many coats you're planning, and get a purchasable amount, not just a raw number.
