FIELD TOOLS

Interactive calculators and planners for commercial construction field leaders. Free, built for the phone in your pocket, and they run right in your browser — no login, no app to install.

What Field Tools are

  • Interactive. Enter your numbers, get quantities and plans you can act on and copy into your daily log.
  • Field planning aids. They help you plan and check your thinking. They do not replace plans, specifications, engineering, code requirements or your supplier.
  • Honest about the numbers. Every result is labelled so you know what was calculated, what you entered, what to verify and what is only an estimate.

Quantity & Materials

Builder Ascent Field Tools are planning aids. Results depend on the numbers you enter. Verify quantities, dimensions, slopes, elevations and schedules against your plans, specifications, code requirements, engineering and project team. Not engineering advice.
