Masonry Estimating API

healthy 3,732 Subscribers

Masonry estimating maths as an API, computed locally and deterministically — the brick, block and mortar counts a bricklayer, builder or estimator works to. The brick endpoint computes how many bricks a wall needs from its area (or length × height in feet): bricks per square foot = 144 / ((brick length + joint) × (brick height + joint)), so a standard modular brick with a 3/8-inch mortar joint works out to the well-known 6.86 bricks per square foot — a 100 ft² wall is 686 bricks, plus a waste allowance and the mortar bags (about 7 per 1000 bricks). The block endpoint does the same for concrete masonry units: a standard 16×8-inch CMU with a 3/8-inch joint is 1.125 blocks per square foot, with roughly 2.5 mortar bags per 100 blocks. Both endpoints take custom unit face dimensions and joint thickness, add a configurable waste percentage and round up to whole units. Everything is computed locally and deterministically, so it is instant and private. Ideal for construction, masonry-contractor, building-supply and home-improvement app developers, takeoff and material-estimating tools, and trade calculators. Pure local computation — no key, no third-party service, instant. Imperial units (inches and square feet). Live, nothing stored. 2 compute endpoints. This is brick/block and mortar estimating; for poured-concrete volume use a concrete API and for drywall use a drywall API.

Deck Builder API

Deck-building maths as an API, computed locally and deterministically — the board, joist and fastener counts a homeowner or contractor needs to material out a rectangular deck. The boards endpoint turns the deck size into a real shopping list: rows = deck width ÷ (board width + gap), rounded up, so a 16 ft × 12 ft deck with a 5.5-inch board face (a 5/4×6) and a 1/8-inch gap needs 26 rows; boards run the length, each row takes one 16 ft board, and a 10 % waste allowance brings it to 29 boards plus the linear footage and the deck area. The joists endpoint frames it: joists are spaced along the length, so count = ⌊length ÷ spacing⌋ + 1 — thirteen joists at 16-inch on-center (seventeen at 12-inch for stronger or diagonal decking), each spanning the width, plus two rim joists and a ledger as total framing linear feet. The fasteners endpoint counts the screws: every decking row crosses every joist once and is fastened with two face screws there, so a 16×12 deck takes 26 × 13 × 2 = 676 screws, about 744 with waste — or one hidden clip per intersection. Everything is computed locally and deterministically, so it is instant and private. Ideal for construction, contractor, home-improvement, building-materials and renovation app developers, deck-estimator and takeoff tools, and lumber-yard calculators. Pure local computation — no key, no third-party service, instant. US units (feet/inches). Live, nothing stored. 3 compute endpoints. Rectangular decks; for indoor floor area use a flooring API.

Roof Pitch API

Roofing geometry as an API, computed locally and deterministically. The pitch endpoint converts freely between the three ways trades describe a roof slope — the pitch as rise per 12 of run (the X:12 notation), the angle in degrees and the slope as a percentage — using angle = atan(pitch/12); a 6:12 roof is 26.57° and a 50 % slope, and it also returns the pitch multiplier √(1 + tan²) that scales a flat plan length to the true along-slope length. The rafter endpoint computes the common rafter length from the horizontal run and the pitch, rafter = √(run² + rise²) with rise = run·tan(angle), and adds the along-slope length of an optional horizontal overhang — a 12-unit run at 6:12 needs a 13.42-unit rafter. The area endpoint converts a flat building footprint into the actual sloped roof surface area, footprint / cos(angle), the figure you need to order shingles, membrane or underlay; a 100 m² footprint under a 6:12 roof is about 111.8 m². Lengths are unit-agnostic — use a consistent unit. Everything is computed locally and deterministically, so it is instant and private. Ideal for roofing, construction, contractor-estimating, home-improvement, solar-install and architecture app developers, take-off and material-ordering tools, and trade software. Pure local computation — no key, no third-party service, instant. Live, nothing stored. 3 endpoints. This is roofing-specific geometry; for a general grade or gradient use a slope API.

Lumber Calculator API

Lumber and framing material-estimation maths as an API, computed locally and deterministically. The boardfeet endpoint computes board feet — the standard volume unit for sawn timber, (thickness_in × width_in × length_ft) ÷ 12 — for a quantity of boards, with the total board feet and linear feet. The studs endpoint frames a wall: the number of vertical studs, ceil(wall length ÷ spacing) + 1 (16-inch ≈ 0.4064 m or 24-inch ≈ 0.6096 m centres), with two extra studs per opening, plus the plate boards for the top and bottom plates. The cost endpoint totals the lumber either by board foot (board feet × price per board foot) or by piece (pieces × price per piece). Everything is computed locally and deterministically, so it is instant and private. Ideal for construction, carpentry and DIY app developers, framing and material take-off tools, and lumberyard and builder calculators. Pure local computation — no key, no third-party service, instant. Live, nothing stored. 3 endpoints. This is lumber and framing estimation; for drywall sheets use a drywall API and for concrete use a concrete API.

Drywall Calculator API

Drywall (plasterboard) material-estimation maths as an API, computed locally and deterministically. The sheets endpoint computes how many boards a wall or ceiling needs — the area (given directly, or as perimeter × height, or length × width) divided by the sheet area, with a waste allowance — and the number of screws (about 32 per standard sheet). The compound endpoint estimates the joint compound in kilograms and the joint tape in metres for taping and finishing the boarded area, with adjustable per-square-metre factors for your product and number of coats. The cost endpoint totals the project from the sheets and their price plus the compound and tape. The standard 2.4 × 1.2 m board is assumed unless you override it. Everything is computed locally and deterministically, so it is instant and private. Ideal for construction, renovation and trade app developers, drywall and plastering estimators, and builder and retailer tools. Pure local computation — no key, no third-party service, instant. Live, nothing stored. 3 endpoints. This is drywall material estimation; for insulation R-values use a U-value API and for wall paint use a paint API.
