Calculated Industries calculators help construction professionals work out layout math, while the company’s digital measuring devices handle blueprint takeoffs. Construction Master includes stair, roofing, pitch, rise and run calculations. Choose around the calculations you repeat on the job.
Calculated Industries, also called CI, specializes in industry-specific calculators. The company was incorporated in California in early 1978. It moved to Carson City, Nevada, in 1994, and construction is its core business.
Construction Master for layout calculations
Construction Master comes preprogrammed with angles, stairs, roofing math, pitch, rise and run calculations. Those specific functions are the reason to choose the line. Start with a layout you’ve already worked through and whose answer you know to learn the entry sequence.
For stairs, establish the finished floor elevations before entering the rise. A finish layer left out of the measurements can put the first or last riser out of step with the others.
For roofing, label the dimensions on your sketch before entering them. Horizontal run and sloped length are different measurements. Keep the starting dimensions with the result, and mark which measurement is rise and which is run.
Digital devices for blueprint takeoffs
Calculated Industries has developed digital devices to measure blueprint takeoffs. That’s the relevant job when you’re taking measurements from a drawing. Before measuring a takeoff, check the drawing against a labeled dimension, particularly when the print has been enlarged or reduced.
Match the line to the task
The range also includes Loan Arranger for loan-payment calculations and FabriCalc for quilters, so choose by the line’s stated purpose.
| Calculator or line | Stated functions |

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a Construction Master calculator do?
Construction Master comes preprogrammed with calculations for angles, stairs, roofing math, pitch, rise and run. That’s useful when you’re repeating layout calculations and want the functions built in. You still need to check your measurements against the job, because a correct calculation won’t catch a dimension taken from the wrong reference point.
