The Construction Master is and has been the industry standard for carpenters and craftsmen for over 30 years. Its use is taught in apprenticeship and training programs at the high-school, college, union and industry level across our country and beyond. An entire generation of framers and stick-builders grew up using it and advising us on new capabilities they wanted built-in. Building materials and techniques have changed over the years but geometry and the need to work quickly and accurately with dimensions is as important and difficult as ever. Put the time-tested Construction Master Pro on your next project and you’ll be glad you did.
SOLVE ALL YOUR DIMENSIONAL MATH quickly and accurately with the award-winning CM Pro construction calculator’s powerful built-in solutions for completing layouts, plans, bids, estimates and more, directly in the building units you prefer
LETS YOU EFFORTLESSLY WORK IN AND CONVERT between all common building dimension formats: feet-inch-fractions, decimal feet-inches, yards and metric — including area and volume. Plus weight-per-volume and D:M:S to decimal degree conversions too

Handy tool
Years ago when I was building and cutting roofs I relied heavily on Marshall Gross and a TI-35 calculator(IYKYK) and was able to calculate anything I encountered. Fast forward 25 years where work and life have taken me other places and I was no longer using Trig and geometry on a regular basis, my ability to calculate has diminished. It would probably be fairly easy to go back and brush up with the help of Roof Framing, but I decided to come into the light and try a dedicated construction calculator for a few planned fanciful construction projects. Enter the Construction Master Pro. I haven’t had it long enough to attest to it’s durability but I’m confident that the Construction Master reputation for quality is deserved. Fortunately, mine also came with an Armadillo Case, which seems like it will be great for protecting the calculator. I took it out of the box and started performing calculations with the included quick start guide, which stores very conveniently in the back side of the calculator. Keystroke sequences are not always intuitive if you are accustomed to using a scientific calculator for these calcs, but it seems that with a little more practice they will became second nature, and there are short cuts built in to the process for more advanced calculations. I’m looking forward to mastering this calculator…..I definitely recommend it’s purchase.
