Reliable calculations. Clear inputs. Results you can verify.
Open Quick Math in Project Ask or Company Ask for 12 supported calculations using values and units you supply. Review the result, formula and rounding, then copy the result with its inputs and limitations. Results are calculated locally, not source verified and not saved to chat.

The construction problem
A quick calculation still needs a clear basis.
A field conversation may mix feet, inches and fractions. Before using a number, you need to know which values and units were entered, which method was used and which assumptions affect the result.
How the work moves forward01
Choose from 12 supported methods
Arithmetic; Percentage of a value; Percentage change; Markup on cost; Gross margin on selling price; Unit conversion; Rectangular area; Rectangular volume; Regular spacing and piece count; Slope from rise and run; Elevation difference; and Concrete slab quantity. The same methods are available in Project Ask and Company Ask.
02
Supply the inputs and check the basis
Enter the required values and units, then choose Calculate. For spacing, choose exact or maximum spacing and the included endpoints. For elevations, confirm a shared datum. Review the formula, exact values, displayed units and rounding. Optional slab waste is applied only when you enter it.
03
Copy the result and return to Ask
Copy result includes the inputs, result, formula, rounding and limitations. Quick Math preserves your unsent Ask draft and does not submit a question or save a calculation to chat. Results are transient and cleared when you close Quick Math. The existing slab calculator remains available.
Sources, permissions & review details
Quick Math uses explicitly supplied values. It does not read project or company documents to extract dimensions or determine controlling requirements. There are no automatic source-derived inputs.
Missing values, incompatible units and unresolved construction conventions need correction or clarification. The supported catalog does not accept unrestricted formulas.
Results are calculated locally, not source verified and not saved to chat. Copying a result does not make it an authoritative project record.
Waste is optional and explicit. A calculated quantity is not an order recommendation, a general takeoff, engineering approval or survey certification. Confirm actual dimensions and project requirements before use.
Advanced source-grounded mathematical intelligence is separately qualified local development work and remains unpublished. It is not part of the released Quick Math capability.
