How it works
Volume is length × width × depth in metres, giving cubic metres. It is also shown in cubic yards and cubic feet using the exact conversion factors (1 yd³ = 0.764554857984 m³).
Assumptions & limits
- Assumes a simple rectangular pour; add an allowance for waste, spillage and uneven subgrade.
- Outputs volume only — it does not estimate bags or mix ratios.
§
FAQ
- How much extra concrete should I order?
- A common allowance is 5–10% over the calculated volume for spillage and uneven ground; follow your supplier’s guidance.
