Quantities & Estimating
How much ready mix concrete do I need for my project?
Direct answer
Concrete volume = area × thickness. A 100 sqm slab at 15cm needs 15 m³; add 5% wastage, so order 16 m³ across three truck loads. For an exact take-off across every trade, Benna's free BOQ calculator turns your project dimensions into a priced material list you can add to cart in one click.
