One report from any of these tools
Add results from as many tools as the job needs to one project, with the client, site and your notes, and save it all as a single PDF. Import the PDF again later to change any result.
These calculators use the formulas and standards the industry works to, so they give you a sound first answer for planning and quoting. They can't see your site, though, so treat the result as a guide rather than the final word: check it against the manufacturer's datasheets, the relevant Australian Standard and, for fire and life-safety systems, the designer's own calculation before you buy or install. We provide them free as a guide and can't take responsibility for decisions made on the result alone. Want a second opinion? Our team is happy to check your figures.
