Quick field estimates

Construction calculators

Handy thumb-rule calculators for planning discussions. Always validate with your structural design.

Concrete (thumb rule)

Volume (m³) ≈ Length × Breadth × Depth (all in metres). Add 5–10% wastage depending on pour conditions.

Bricks (approx.)

For 1 m³ brickwork ≈ 500 bricks (standard modular, with mortar). Adjust for brick size and joint thickness.

Plaster

Area (m²) = Length × Height. Material depends on thickness (e.g. 12 mm) and mix ratio—confirm with site engineer.

Steel (indicative)

Use BOQ/bar bending schedule for exact quantities. BuildSite tracks received vs used steel on site once work starts.
