How To Figure Concrete?

Measure the length, width, and thickness of the area in feet

Multiply length × width to get square feet

Multiply square feet × thickness in feet to get cubic feet

Divide cubic feet by 27 to get cubic yards

Add 5% to 10% extra for waste and spillage

For round areas, use π × radius × radius × thickness

For steps, slabs, and footings, calculate each section separately and add them together

Convert inches to feet by dividing by 12

Convert cubic feet to cubic yards by dividing by 27

Order concrete in cubic yards from the total calculated amount
