Ready-mixed concrete deliveries.
Combine measured components without counting intersecting volumes twice.
Read the right quantitative data
Quoted delivery volume, usable load size, minimum order and separate delivery charges.
Check this ordering assumption
Truck count and concrete volume are different outputs; a partly filled final load is still a delivery.
Confirm the order basis with the supplier and use dimensions from an already specified design.
A worked quantity method
This illustrative set of supplied inputs demonstrates Concrete Calculator. Replace the example measurements and product figures with your own before ordering.
| Supplied input | Metric display | US display |
|---|---|---|
| Measure | NaN | NaN |
| Length | 4 m | 13.12 ft |
| Width | 5 m | 16.4 ft |
| Thickness | 100 mm | 3.94 in |
| Waste allowance | 10 % | 10 % |
| Area to exclude | NaN m² | NaN ft² |
| Supplier volume order increment | NaN m³ | NaN yd³ |
Concrete to order: 2.2 m³
- Net pour area
- 20 m²
- Calculated volume
- 2 m³
- Waste allowance
- 0.2 m³
- Supplier rounding surplus
- 0 m³
Dimensions come from your plan. Confirm order increments and the specification with your supplier.

Turn the estimate into an order
- Confirm that all quantities use the same measured basis and the selected product's current data.
- Keep different products, finishes and handed variants in separate purchase lines.
- Review exact demand and whole-pack purchase quantities before entering your quoted prices.
- Record compatible stock already on hand, then save the remaining order in your browser project.
