How they're built

01

Your data stays with you

The tools in this section run inside your browser and send what you enter nowhere. A draft is saved on your device only if you choose.

02

Scope before price

The tools show no prices or durations and never suggest a fair price. Their aim is that what you compare is clear and written down.

03

No substitute for an engineer

General, illustrative guidance. Requirements differ by project and authority, and are confirmed with the licensed engineering office.
