Legal
Terms of Use
The rules for using BuildCalc Pro. Last updated October 5, 2026.
1. The service
BuildCalc Pro (“the platform”) is a free, browser-based set of construction calculators and estimating tools. You may use every tool without creating an account, paying a fee, or providing personal information.
2. Calculations are planning aids
Results are estimates produced by standard industry formulas. They are planning aids not engineering advice, not a bid guarantee, and not a substitute for licensed professionals or your local building code. See the disclaimer for details.
3. Acceptable use
You agree not to misuse the platform: no attempts to disrupt, reverse-engineer for harmful purposes, or scrape at a rate that degrades the service for others. The tools are for your own estimating work; automated bulk extraction of site content is not permitted without written permission.
4. Your data stays yours
The platform has no database and no accounts. Estimates you create are stored only in your browser's local storage, on your device. We cannot see, recover, or delete them for you clear your browser data and they are gone. Exported files (JSON estimates, proposal PDFs) are generated on your device and belong to you.
5. Intellectual property
The platform's design, code, guides, and calculator implementations are owned by BuildCalc Pro. You may use the tools and share links to them freely; you may not copy the site wholesale, rebrand it, or resell access to it.
6. No warranty
The platform is provided “as is,” without warranties of any kind. We work hard to keep the math correct and we fix verified errors but we cannot guarantee every result suits your project. You are responsible for verifying quantities, prices, and code compliance before you build or bid.
7. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, BuildCalc Pro is not liable for losses arising from use of the platform, including but not limited to material over- or under-orders, bid errors, project delays, or code-compliance issues. Verify critical numbers independently.
8. Changes
We may update these terms as the platform grows. Continued use after an update means you accept the new terms. Major changes will be noted with a new “last updated” date above.
