Permits Multiple restrictions on risers, treads, inclines and also allows application of 2R+G (2R+TD in US) in jurisdictions required - to meet standards.

- Step incline (Also changeable),
- Stairwell opening,
- Stringer Lengths

CONCRETE CALCULATOR / ESTIMATOR:-
- Calculate quantities for slabs, footings,round and rectangular/square holes.
- Estimates total volume and cost allowing for waste.

CONVERTER:-
- Convert Lengths, Area, Volume: Metric and US/Imperial.
- Work in Decimal units or Yds/Ft/In/Fraction format to Metric, decimal US.

EASY TO USE GENERAL CALCULATOR WITH TAPE:
- Calculate (add, subtract etc) directly in feet / inches / fractions or decimals.
- Common functions for quick calculation

INFOGUIDE:
Infoguide is part of a small building firm based in Western Australia. This app was created by a former Roof Framing Carpenter for our team of carpenters. We use it and believe it will be as helpful to other carpenters as it was for us.
