★★★★★ by one of the boys:
“I wish I have BuildCalc when I was more active in the Architectural / Construction industry. Now it receives lighter duty but is worth it none the less. Having used it for a few weeks my only suggestion for improvement would be to allow an …

“My Construction Master IV is dying a slow painful death. I was faced with spending another 80 odd dollars to replace it. Then I found BuildCalc. It made sense to buy “software” for the hardware I already owned and carried about, my iPod touch. It took very …
