Not at present. We are only doing calculations for the 47 standard templates shown on this site. All you need to do is fill in the relevant template and we will prepare your calculation report based on the template selected and the information you provide. If your project isn’t included in the list of the 47 standard templates, unfortunately we can’t help you.

If you’re not sure which of the templates is applicable to your project, please ask your builder or architect for help or contact us and we can help.
