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.

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.
