Terms of use

Owner action needed before launch: fill the placeholders and have these terms reviewed by a lawyer in your jurisdiction.

1. Who we are

These terms govern your use of this website, operated by [Owner to provide: legal name]. By using the site you agree to them.

2. Estimates, not advice

The calculators, tables and guides are general planning and estimating tools based on published prescriptive building-code tables and the assumptions we state. They are not engineering, architectural or legal advice, and they don’t replace a permit, an inspection or review by a licensed professional. Read the engineering disclaimer. You are responsible for confirming requirements with your building department and product manufacturers before you buy materials or build.

3. Accuracy

We work hard to keep results accurate and document our methods, but we don’t warrant that any result is error-free, complete or suitable for your project. Check quantities against your own measurements.

4. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any loss or damage arising from your use of, or reliance on, the site, including the cost of materials, rework, injury or property damage. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law.

5. Using our content

  • You may use the calculators for personal and professional projects, and print or share your results.
  • You may embed the calculator using our published embed code, provided the credit link stays visible and unchanged.
  • Data from our research pages may be reused under the license stated on each page (for example CC BY 4.0), with attribution.
  • Otherwise, don’t copy the site’s text, design or code in bulk, and don’t use automated tools to scrape it, without permission.

6. Third-party links

Links to other sites are provided for reference. We aren’t responsible for their content.

7. Changes and law
