Plan, estimate, check, price and hand off African construction work from one connected desk. Start with a project workflow, then move through CAD, floor planning, BOQ, structural, electrical, concrete, roofing, water, site works and finish calculators without losing assumptions.
Construction calculators built for the way Africa actually builds. From concrete mix ratios with Dangote cement prices to electrical load sizing with NEMSA standards, every tool uses real African materials, brands and building codes.
Choose the project stage, type and immediate decision. AfroTools will assemble the next apps in order, then let you save the workflow to your dashboard as a local item or account workspace item when signed in.

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.
The BOQ Builder generates professional bills of quantities with 11 QS categories, 5 pre-built templates, and 9 currencies. The Concrete Mix Calculator covers M5 to M30 grades with Dangote, BUA, PPC, and Bamburi cement prices. The Electrical Load Calculator sizes wiring, breakers, and generators using NEMSA, KEBS, and SANS standards. The Rebar Calculator generates bar bending schedules with cutting lengths and lap lengths.
The Paint Calculator includes 15+ African brands (Dulux, Berger, Plascon, Crown) with real coverage rates. The Roof Calculator handles long-span aluminium, step tiles, and truss timber quantities. The Water Tank Calculator sizes tanks with pump and pipe recommendations. The Borehole Cost Estimator covers drilling costs across 4 countries with geology types and pump comparisons.
The Generator Fuel Calculator compares generator vs grid vs solar costs with maintenance schedules and carbon estimates. The Building Cost Estimator provides per-m² costs across 10 African cities. The Land Size Converter handles Nigerian plots, SA morgen, Egyptian feddan, and Kenyan eighth-acres. The Unit Converter covers 20 categories including engineering units.
