1. The Basics: What You Need to Calculate

• Concrete: (Slabs, foundations, columns)

• Steel: (Footings, beams, slabs)

• Bricks/Blocks: (Walls, fences)

• Secondary Materials: (Sand, nails, wires)

2. Calculation Methods (With Practical Examples)

A. Concrete Calculation

Formula:
Volume = Length × Width × Height

Example:
For a 150 m² slab at 0.15m thickness:
150 × 0.15 = 22.5 m³

Free Tool:
Concrete Calculator by Calculator.net

B. Steel Reinforcement Calculation

Rule of Thumb:

• 80-100 kg steel per 1 m³ concrete for foundations

• 120-150 kg steel per 1 m³ concrete for columns

Example:
For 30 m³ of column concrete:
30 × 130 = 3,900 kg (3.9 tons)

 

C. Brick/Block Calculation

Formula:
Number of Bricks = (Wall Area in m²) × (60 bricks per m² for 20cm-thick walls)

Example:
For a 100 m² wall:
100 × 60 = 6,000 bricks
