Formwork Area Calculator

Formwork Area Calculator MCP Connector for Claude

A+

Estimate material requirements and quantities for construction formwork systems.

4 tools Official Updated Oct 1, 2026 Official Vinkius Partner

This MCP server provides specialized tools for civil engineering and construction planning. It calculates the total contact area for structural elements like columns, beams, slabs, and walls using get_contact_area. Users can then determine specific material needs using estimate_panel_requirements for modular systems or estimate_timber_requirements for traditional plywood setups. For a side-by-side comparison of modular versus timber needs, use compare_system_costs.

compare_system_costs

Provides a comparison of material needs between modular systems and timber systems for the same area

estimate_panel_requirements

Determines the quantity of modular panels and structural ties needed for a project

estimate_timber_requirements

Calculates the number of plywood sheets needed for traditional timber formwork

get_contact_area

Calculates the total surface area of the concrete that needs to be covered by formwork

What is the contact area for a column that is 2m long, 0.5m wide, and 3m high?

The total contact area for the column is 21.0 square meters.

How many plywood sheets do I need for 50 square meters of contact area with 2 re-uses and 10% waste?

You will need 12 plywood sheets.

Compare modular and timber requirements for 100 square meters with 3 re-uses and 5% waste.

For 100 square meters, you would need 15 modular panels or 15 plywood sheets.

You can use the `get_contact_area` tool by providing the column's length, width, and height.
