Use the tools. Verify the work.
These terms explain the basis on which you may use CountMaterials and the limits that apply to construction estimates, material quantities, costs and planning information provided by the site.
Using CountMaterials
You may use the calculators, guides and other pages for lawful personal, educational and planning purposes. Do not interfere with the service, attempt to bypass security controls, or use automated activity that harms availability.
Estimates, not guarantees
Calculator results are estimates for planning and material takeoff purposes. Actual quantities can vary because of waste, site conditions, material specifications, supplier practices, measurement error and local requirements.
A result should not be treated as a guaranteed quantity, quote, engineering design or construction instruction.
Construction responsibility
Structural work, permits, building-code compliance, reinforcement design and professional construction decisions remain the responsibility of the user and appropriate qualified professionals.
Always verify local code requirements, manufacturer instructions and supplier specifications before ordering or building.
Material prices
Any cost figures are estimates and can change by location, supplier, delivery charge, market conditions, taxes and project requirements. CountMaterials does not guarantee a supplier's price or availability.
Accuracy & corrections
We work to document formulas, constants and worked examples and to correct errors when identified. If you find a questionable result, please report the calculator, inputs, units and expected result so it can be investigated.
Third-party content & links
CountMaterials may link to manufacturers, reference organizations, advertisers or merchants. Those third parties operate under their own terms and policies. We are not responsible for third-party products, services or external content.
Advertising & affiliate relationships
The site may display advertising and may contain affiliate links. Advertising or affiliate relationships do not guarantee, endorse or alter the calculator result.
Intellectual property
CountMaterials branding, original text, interface design, calculator presentation and site code are protected by applicable intellectual-property rights. You may use the results for your own planning, but may not reproduce or republish substantial portions of the site without permission.
Limitation of liability
To the extent permitted by law, CountMaterials is not liable for losses arising from reliance on an estimate, including material shortages, excess purchases, construction defects, delays, project costs or decisions made from calculator output.
Changes to these terms
These terms may be updated as the site evolves. Continued use of CountMaterials after an update means you accept the revised terms.
