How to read this result

Three useful checks, kept deliberately short.

What this result includes

Net volume is 2.88 mΒ³ and the planned order volume is 3.024 mΒ³.

A practical example

Eight footings measure 2 m Γ— 0.6 m Γ— 30 cm with 5% waste: Convert 30 cm depth to 0.30 m Β· Calculate one footing's rectangular volume Β· Multiply by eight and add the waste allowance.

Common input mistake

Keep slab, beam, pier and irregular excavation volumes in separate calculations before combining a total order.

Formula and assumptions

Order Volume = Footing Length Γ— Width Γ— Depth in Metres Γ— Quantity Γ— (1 + Waste Allowance)

This calculator assumes identical rectangular footings and does not subtract reinforcement displacement.

Keep in mind: This calculator estimates material volume only. A qualified professional should determine structural dimensions, reinforcement and construction requirements.
