Become the engineer
who builds the tools.
A professional community for civil & structural engineers. Earn certifications in AI, automation and Python — then put them to work with 50+ free engineering tools.
Credentials that set you apart
Structured, project-based courses built by chartered engineers. Complete a pathway, earn a verifiable certificate, and build tools you'll actually use on the job.
50+ free engineering tools
The tools you learn to build in our courses — free, open-source, and ready to use today.
Community-driven knowledge sharing
Calcforge's goal is to demoncratise access to Engineering knowledge and information, helping Engineers learn to build their own tools and automate the most time consuming parts of their work.
Built by Construction for Construction
Calcforge was built by collaboration of Chartered Civil Engineers, University researchers, site based contractors, capturing knowledge across the industry. Join us on Discord to collaborate and build your own calculators.
We fund our development through training others
Calcforge aims to upskill others on how to build their own tools. We offer free tools developed by ourselves and those in our community, offering free tools and data to elevate the industry. Professionals enroll on our training course and keep the sharing community alive.
We're building the largest collection of open Engineering knowledge
We are constantly adding new calculators and tools to help connect you into the world's largest repository of open Engineering knowledge.
Learn alongside engineers worldwide
CalcForge is powered by an open community of chartered engineers, researchers and contractors. Share the tools you build, swap ideas, and shape the world's largest open library of engineering knowledge.

Open-source software refers to software whose source code is made publicly available for anyone to view, modify, and distribute. Unlike proprietary software, open-source projects allow collaboration from a global community of developers, making it easier to innovate and improve the software over time.
In the context of engineering, open-source web software can offer specific benefits, such as flexibility, transparency, and reduced development costs. Engineers can modify the software to meet unique project needs, integrate it with other tools, or enhance its performance for specialized tasks. Additionally, open-source engineering tools often evolve through contributions from both individual developers and large communities, ensuring that they remain up-to-date and responsive to industry needs.
Building open-source engineering software allows you to contribute to this growing ecosystem, enabling others to use, learn from, and build on your work, while also benefiting from community feedback and collaboration.
Yes you are welcome to access our code via the Github Repository and create your own calculators. Once you have made your modifications you can send back a pull request to see if we would like to include it in the main branch.
Join our Discord server and introduce yourself here. Suggest new calculators you'd like to work on and find others to callaborate with.
During the course of building our parent company Civils.ai. We build lots of useful Engineering tools for calculation automation. We saw that there are not many open-source initiatives for sharing these tools in the Engineering and especially in the construction industry.
We built CalcForge to help set a standard for and open-source future where you own the tools you use!
