Calculation to the 3rd Power – The Construction Master Pro Series


Look in the toolbox, or better yet, the hand of any guy on a construction site and you’ll find a calculator.  It’s standard equipment.  Hard hat, work shoes, power tools, gloves, calculator, and the rest.

If you’re without your calculator, then your probably like this guy. 


Your numbers on the job would be iffy, at best.  Everything would be getting done manually. And you would be behind schedule for sure because you would have to measure, and then re-measure practically everything.  
 

That’s if you even won the bid.  Because without a reliable calculator, estimates are just promises you break.  Your prices would be off cause your calculations would be inaccurate.  You would lose bids, time and money.
 
But which calculator would fit your criteria? 

Definitely one that is accurate – that’s a given.  You need to be able to measure, weigh, and calculate quickly.  And it must be versatile enough to let you measure and weigh in metric or inches, feet, and yards. 

You need to figure how much equipment you need, how much material, how many and what kind of rafters, perimeters, and the list goes on.  What would be perfect is a calculator that is specifically made for construction work.  Sounds nice, but where do you find a calculator like that?  

The Calculated Industries Construction Master Pro calculators have everything you need to get the job done, and then some.  They’re extremely accurate, remember what you typed in so you don’t have to, and have lots of built-in functions.  They help you create plans, bids, estimates, and a lot more.

Calculated Industries Construction Master Pro CalculatorYou need to calculate for an entire stairway plan? Done.  Need to calculate how many hips, valleys, and jack rafters are required? Done, done, and done.  These calculators are amazing and they do a lot more than I can list here. But I recommend you check them out soon.  They’re tailor-made for construction trades.

Here’s a brief description of them, click the names for more info…

The Construction Master Pro – 4065 does all of the functions mentioned above and then some. 

Construction Master Pro Trig – 4080 has the same functions as 4065, but with full trigonometric functions. 
 
Construction Master Pro DT – 44080 is a desktop calculator with all the functions of both of the handheld calculators.  I suggest leaving this in the office for those times the handheld is left in the truck.
