Concrete Works Estimator
Calculate concrete for an element, then add it to a running project total. The material breakdown is for the currently calculated volume.
*Design Mix recommended. Ratio is for estimation only.

View Calculation Methodology
1. Wet Volume of Concrete: Length × Width × Thickness.
2. Dry Volume of Concrete: Wet Volume × 1.54. This factor accounts for the voids in fine and coarse aggregates and volume reduction after hydration.
3. Sum of Ratio Parts: For a mix like 1:2:4, the sum is 1 + 2 + 4 = 7.
4. Volume of Cement: (Dry Volume × Cement Part) / Sum of Ratio Parts.
5. Number of Cement Bags: Volume of Cement / 0.0347 m³ (volume of one 50kg bag).
6. Volume of Sand/Aggregate: (Dry Volume × Sand/Aggregate Part) / Sum of Ratio Parts.
