Terms of Use

Last updated: 22 August 2026

By using BuildGrid (the "Site"), you agree to these Terms of Use. If you don't agree with them, please don't use the Site.

1. Estimates only - not professional advice

Every calculator on this Site produces an estimate for planning purposes only. It is not a substitute for advice from a structural engineer, surveyor or qualified contractor.

Our calculators (including the Concrete Calculator) do not check load-bearing capacity, reinforcement requirements, frost depth, drainage, or compliance with local building codes or regulations. Always verify quantities with your supplier and, for anything structural or load-bearing, consult a qualified professional before proceeding.

2. No liability for reliance on results

To the fullest extent permitted by law, BuildGrid accepts no liability for any loss, damage, cost or expense - direct or indirect - arising from reliance on figures, formulas or diagrams produced by this Site, including but not limited to over-ordering, under-ordering, or construction defects.

3. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

  • Use the Site for any unlawful purpose
  • Attempt to disrupt, overload or interfere with the Site's normal operation
  • Scrape, copy or republish the Site's content or code without permission
  • Misrepresent calculator output as professional structural advice

4. Intellectual property

The design, text, calculators and underlying code on this Site are owned by BuildGrid unless otherwise stated. You may use the calculators for personal or business planning purposes, but you may not copy or redistribute the Site's code or content without our written permission.

5. Third-party links

The Site may link to third-party suppliers or resources. We don't control and aren't responsible for the content, accuracy or availability of external sites.

6. Changes to the Site or these Terms

We may update, suspend or discontinue any part of the Site at any time, and may revise these Terms from time to time. Continued use of the Site after changes are posted means you accept the updated Terms.

7. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales, and any disputes will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.
