Use Cases

Every job is different, but the maths repeats. These guides walk through the trades and tasks Chippy Tools gets used for most, and which calculators do the work.

What you’ll find here

Each use case starts with the job rather than the formula: what you’re building, what you can measure on site, and which calculator turns one into the other. They’re written for the way work actually happens — a tape measure, a phone in a dusty pocket, and no time to remember whether the rise goes on the top or the bottom of the fraction.

If you’d rather browse by calculator than by job, the full calculator list covers concrete and groundwork, stairs and framing, decking, and set-out. Every calculator takes metric or imperial input and runs entirely on your device, so a basement with no reception is no obstacle.
