How it works

Keep the fractions in the answer.

Construction measurements are often written in feet, inches, and sixteenths. This calculator converts both measurements to sixteenths of an inch, performs the calculation, then converts the exact result back into a format you can use.

Made for the field

Exact construction math, ready when the job needs it.

BuildX keeps a full construction calculator, layout tools, and material estimates within reach on iPhone—without making you translate the notation you already use.
