Quick answer
- Save the calculation to the correct project folder.
- Give it a descriptive title and record assumptions in a note.
- Share the calculation, PDF, or project note with units and waste settings intact.

Step by Step
Save and Share Calculations and Project Notes
Follow the sequence and keep units visible at every handoff.
Step 1
Create or choose a project
Open Saved and use a folder for the job, phase, or estimate. Clear names prevent one site’s dimensions from leaking into another.
Step 2
Save the verified calculation
From the calculator or specialty tool, save the expression and result after checking units.
Step 3
Add context
Record what was measured, finish assumptions, waste percentage, supplier yield, and who verified the value. Add checklist items or attachments when useful.
Step 4
Share a complete handoff
Use the share action for result text or supported PDF reports. Tell the recipient what the number controls and whether it is ready to cut, quote, or order.
Field Examples
Three practical checks
Example 1
Crew cut list
Share rafter results with pitch, run, deductions, and verification status.
Example 2
Material order
Send the whole-unit quantity and state “includes 10% waste.”
Example 3
Client estimate
Keep field notes and cost assumptions with the calculation used to build the quote.
Common mistakes
What to verify
- Saving a result as “Calculation 1” with no job context.
- Sharing a screenshot that crops out the units or assumptions.
- Treating a saved result as verified when site conditions later changed.

Can I use this result without checking it?
No. Confirm measurements, units, assumptions, and applicable code before cutting material, ordering supplies, or issuing a quote.
Does Construction Pro guess missing values?
No. Its calculators use explicit formulas and the inputs you provide; missing field conditions still require professional judgment.
Can I keep the calculation with a job?
Yes. Save verified calculations in a project and add a descriptive note so the crew can see what the result means.
