Request a Tool →Africa is building. From Lagos high-rises to Nairobi apartment blocks to Johannesburg industrial parks, construction is booming across the continent. But most engineering software is expensive, designed for Western standards, and assumes materials and labour costs from Europe or North America. AfroTools builds engineering calculators calibrated for African construction realities.
Our AfroDraft 2D CAD tool provides a free browser-based drawing environment for floor plans, site layouts, and technical drawings. The BOQ Builder generates professional bills of quantities with categories for substructure, superstructure, roofing, finishes, M&E, and external works, all with multi-currency support for NGN, KES, ZAR, GHS, and more. Solar panel sizing tools calculate optimal configurations for African solar irradiance levels, critical for off-grid and backup power installations.
In the pipeline: Beam calculators for simply supported and cantilever beams, concrete mix design tools, paint calculators for room dimensions and coats, electrical load calculators, plumbing pipe sizers, and rebar calculators. All built with African building standards and local material specifications in mind.
