LoadCalc
A fast, field-ready tool for checking material weights and support safety on jobsites.
About This Project
LoadCalc is designed for builders, site managers, and crews who need quick answers on load safety. It combines common material data with distribution factors and support types to return a clear PASS or OVERLOADED result — no manuals required. The tool is built to be used directly on phones or tablets while in the field.
How It Was Built
This build uses a structured material dataset, lightweight form logic in vanilla JavaScript, and a responsive interface styled with CSS. Focus was on clarity and speed — simple drop-downs, filters, and instant results. It runs entirely in-browser with no data collection, making it safe to use on site without connectivity.
