Who RampCalcTool is for

RampCalcTool fits into the workflows of architects, structural engineers, and contractors—not DIY projects.

Architects

Check ramp geometry against ADA/IBC rules for commercial and residential projects, then drop ready-to-paste general notes into your CD sets.

Structural Engineers

Check ramp geometry, slopes, and landings against ADA/IBC limits in minutes—without paging through code books or re-working mis-sized runs.

Contractors & Builders

Generate clear installation notes and inspection checklists so crews, inspectors, and owners are all working from the same ramp spec on site.
