Worked example
Example: concrete for a 6 x 4 m shed slab at 100 mm
- Upload the plan PDF and confirm the scale at 1:100.
- Trace the slab with the Area tool: 24 m².
- Multiply by 0.1 m depth: 2.4 m³.
- Add 5 to 10 percent for spillage and uneven ground: order about 2.6 m³.
About 2.6 m³ of concrete for a 6 x 4 m slab at 100 mm, including allowance.
