1. Calculate the total volume of concrete required:
Multiply the length, width and depth of the foundation that requires the concrete. For example, if your foundation is 8′ x 8′ x 4′ deep, then the total volume of concrete required would be 256 cubic feet.
2. Calculate the number of cubic yards:
Divide the total volume of concrete by 27 to get the number of cubic yards required. For example, 256 cubic feet divided by 27 equals 9.48 cubic yards of concrete.
3. Calculate the amount of material needed:
Multiply the number of cubic yards by the weight per cubic foot of the material. For example, if the concrete is 4,000 pounds per cubic foot, then 9.48 cubic yards would require 37,920 pounds of material.
4. Calculate the cost of the material:
Multiply the weight of the material by the cost per unit weight. For example, if the material costs $100 per ton, then 37,920 pounds would require 3.792 tons of material, which would cost $379.20.
