Construction Calculator Pro Free Download

Our premier service is the Embodied Carbon in Construction Calculator (EC3), a free database of construction EPDs and matching building impact calculator for use in design and material procurement.

The Embodied Carbon in Construction Calculator (EC3) tool, is a free and easy to use tool that allows benchmarking, assessment and reductions in embodied carbon, focused on the upfront supply chain emissions of construction materials.

The EC3 tool utilizes building material data from construction estimates and building information modeling (BIM) as well as a robust database of digital, third-party verified Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs).

EC3 also allows owners, green building certification programs, and policymakers to assess supply chain data to create EPD requirements and set embodied carbon limits and reductions at the construction material and project scale.

The tool does not replace the whole building life cycle assessment (WBLCA). Instead, it fills the gap between early design assessments at the systems level using available WBLCA tools and the actual procurement of low-carbon products.

EC3 is driving demand for low-carbon solutions and incentivizing construction materials manufacturers and suppliers to invest in transparent disclosure and material innovations that reduce the carbon emissions of their products.

The tool and its subsequent effect on the industry is driving demand for low-carbon solutions and incentivizing construction materials manufacturers and suppliers to invest in disclosure, transparency and material innovations that reduce the carbon emissions of their products.

Operational carbon emissions can be mitigated by implementing a variety of measures such as energy-efficient building systems and renewable energy initiatives. In contrast, the effects of embodied carbon in construction materials are irreversible post-construction. Once the building is erected and the materials are already used, any negative consequences that result from sourcing those materials cannot be undone.

All of this highlights the importance of making informed choices about building materials in construction projects to reduce environmental impacts. Not all materials are created equal; depending on how and where they were manufactured, one building component could have much lower embodied carbon than another that looks and performs the same.

The calculator will compare the carbon intensity of different locally available materials that all meet the required specifications. Any quantity updates made in Autodesk Takeoff can be synced to EC3, allowing teams to make informed decisions iteratively as the project progresses.

We all have a part to play in curbing carbon emissions in the construction sector and fostering a more sustainable built environment for everyone. Autodesk and EC3 can help you do just that.

The Compost and Topsoil Calculator below is for use by permit applicants to determine the compost and/or topsoil needs for site development projects to meet the post-construction soil standard required by King County's Clearing and Grading regulations KCC 16.82. This information must be included on the Soil Management Plan Download Microsoft Word document 900 K form required as part of the permitting process. Steps for preparing a Soil Management Plan are found on pp. 8-9 in the Achieving the Post-construction Soil Standard brochure Download PDF 1 MB.

In simple terms, a profit margin is the percentage of total amount charged that you will receive after overhead and constructions costs are paid. In other words, if you charge $11,000 for a project which has $9,000 in overhead and constructions costs to complete, your profit is what's remaining. ($11,000 - $9,000 = $2,000). To find the profit margin of the project, you'd simply divide your profit by the total. ($2,000/$11,000 = .1818) Now, just multiply the result by 100 (.1818 x 100) and you'll see that your profit margin is 18.18%.

While profit is the amount of profit remaining after all overhead and construction costs are paid in a project, markup is the amount you increase to any overhead or construction costs. For example, if your construction costs are $5,000, but you charge the client $5,500, your markup would be $500, or 10% ($500/$5,000 = .10). However, while your markup is 10%, your profit margin is only 9.09%. This is because your profit margin is based on the total amount you charge, not the total of amount of your expenses.

Announced today as a limited pilot, the EC3 tool is an open-source database of construction material information based on environmental product declaration (EPD) data, searchable by material performance requirements and design specifications; project location; and global warming potential. There are over 16,000 materials in the database, including concrete, steel and gypsum.

Using the EC3 tool, contractors, owners and designers can work together to examine data for common building materials and create an overall embodied carbon footprint for a project. This new method allows stakeholders throughout the entire construction ecosystem to understand the potential environmental impact of a project, which can lead to more informed decisions throughout the building process.

Each day millions of construction professionals seek ways to access the latest cost information to keep up to date with current market trends. Rider Levett Bucknall (RLB) clients have all the information they need to assist in making informed and successful project decisions with RLB Intelligence.

The Bid Price Index facility enables the user to identify general levels of construction tender pricing in one of two ways:

1 By location: Identification of bid price index percentage difference at a selected point in time, between two user-selected locations. The Base Location selected by the user is the 'starting point' against which the difference is measured in percentage terms. The Alternative Location is the user's chosen comparison location. A positive answer depicts a market in which the general level of bid pricing in the Altenative Location exceeds, or is forecast to exceed, that of the Base Location.

2 By date: Identification of bid price index percentage movement in a given location, over a selected period of time. The Base Date selected by the user is the 'starting point' against which movement is measured in percentage terms. The Alternative Date is the user's chosen date for comparison. A positive answer depicts a market in which the general level of bid pricing has risen, or is forecast to rise, over the selected time period.

The Construction Cost Indicator is a facility through which the user can obtain an indication of the likely general level of construction cost in a given location at the date shown below the result of the search. The costs stated in this section reflect the standards and specifications normal to the country or Region. Variations in cost may be experienced for factors such as site conditions, climatic conditions, standards of specification, market conditions etc. General exclusions are: Loose furniture and fittings, subdivision partitions in office buildings, private telephone systems, tenancy works, site works and drainage, land cost, legal and professional fees, interest/opportunity cost on money, sales and other value added taxes.

Market Sector Activity diagrams show the general movement of market activity in the respective sectors of the construction industry at an identified location, at a given point in time. When collated for a Region, they show, in percentage terms, the proportion of locations in which a particular market sector is, at that point in time, in the Trough Zone, the Mid Zone or the Peak Zone.
