Terms of use

This page is a plain-language policy written for a construction publication. It is not legal advice — have it reviewed against the law that applies where you operate before relying on it.

Agreement

By using constropedia.com you accept these terms. The site is operated by Binary and Bricks Pvt. Ltd., Pune, Maharashtra, India. If you do not accept these terms, please do not use the site.

Professional advice — read this one

Everything on this site is general educational information, not professional engineering advice. The guides explain methods; the calculators perform arithmetic on the numbers you supply.

• Nothing here is a substitute for a qualified structural engineer, a licensed surveyor or your project's own specification and drawings.
• Results depend entirely on the inputs and assumptions you choose. Densities, dry volume factors, wastage percentages and standard values are defaults, not determinations about your project.
• Codes and standards are revised. Always work to the current edition your project specifies.
• Verify every quantity independently before ordering material, cutting steel or pouring concrete.

Where an article and a code disagree, the code governs. Where our guidance and your project specification disagree, your specification governs.

No warranty

The site, its guides, calculators and templates are provided "as is" and "as available", without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including any implied warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose or accuracy. We do not warrant that the site will be uninterrupted, error-free or free of harmful components.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Binary and Bricks Pvt. Ltd. will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive loss, or for any loss of profit, revenue, data, materials, time or goodwill, arising from your use of or reliance on this site — including any loss arising from a quantity, cost or dimension derived from a calculator or article here.

Your use of the site

You may read, print and use the guides and calculators for your own professional and educational purposes, including on live projects, subject to the verification duty above. You may not:

• Republish substantial portions of our content as your own, or without attribution and a link.
• Scrape, mirror or systematically extract the site's content.
• Attempt to interfere with the site's operation or security.
• Present our calculators as your own product or embed them so as to imply that.

Templates

Templates offered on this site may be downloaded, adapted and used on your own projects, including commercially. They may not be resold or redistributed as a template product. They are starting points and are not warranted to satisfy any particular legal, contractual or statutory requirement — have your own advisers review anything that will be contractually binding.
