Material Calculator

Our building material calculator is specifically intended to estimate the amount of material you may need to complete a construction project. Just enter a couple of parameters and make a tap to get instant results along with total cost.

How to Use This Construction Material Calculator?

This building materials calculator will take instants to calculate the required amount of aggregate that does not exceed or reduce than the required for construction on a square or cubic yardage. Let us see how to use it!

Input:

• From the to list, go by selecting the area shape
• Now enter the required measurements in their designated fields
• Hit the calculate button

Output:

• Area
• Volume
• Weight
• Cost by Mass
• Cost by Volume

How to Calculate Building Material Needed?

Our building calculator uses different formulas to calculate building materials that are must to finish a construction testimonial. To better comprehend these expressions, let us resolve an example!

Statement:

Suppose Jackson is a mason and he wants to cover an area with material (concrete or gravel) having the following dimensions:

\(Length = 58ft\)

\(Width = 45ft\)

\(Depth = 2ft\)

What would be the building material estimate for this project?

Solution:

First, we will calculate area, volume, and density of the material;

\(Area = Length \times Width\)

\(Area = 58ft \times 45ft\)

\(Area = 2610 ft^{2}\)

\(Volume = Area \times Depth\)

\(Volume = 2610 ft^{2} \times 2ft\)

\(Volume = 5220 m^{3}\)

\(Weight = Density \times Volume\)

\(Weight = 105\,lb/ft^{3} \times 5220 m^{3}\)

\(Weight = 548 cubic ton\) \(Cost = Price\,Per\,Unit\,Mass \times Weight\)

\(Cost = 23 \times 548\) \(Cost =12,604\)
