Footing Tools
Variations, claims, SWMS, quotes and more, here or inside ChatGPT and Claude. The AI writes the words. Footing Tools gets the numbers, the state rules and the paperwork right.
Every tool here is free. No account needed. Each one makes one document — Footing, the software, runs the whole job.
In ChatGPT and Claude, the tools come as one listing called Footing Tools. Add it once and ask in your own words. ChatGPT or Claude picks the right tool.

Straight answers
Are the tools really free?
Yes. Every tool on this page is free to use here, in ChatGPT and in Claude. You don't need a Footing account, and every document is ready to download straight away.
What do I search for in ChatGPT or Claude?
Footing Tools. That's the listing name in both directories. Add it once and every tool comes with it.
What happens to what I type?
Footing uses it to make your document. The document lives at a private link for 90 days, then it's deleted. Anyone you send the link to can open it, so only send it to the people it's for.
Is this legal advice?
No. Templates and calculations, not legal advice. Check every document against your contract and your site before you send it.
I already use Footing. Does this connect to my account?
In ChatGPT and Claude you'll be able to connect your Footing account to save documents to your jobs and ask how your jobs are tracking. Footing Tools work with or without it.
Running more than a few jobs?
