How to Use the IMI Concrete Calculator
Step 1: Define Your Project
Select the shape of your concrete project (slab, wall, column, or footing) and enter the dimensions in feet and inches.
Step 2: Set Concrete Specifications
Choose your concrete mix type and adjust the waste factor based on your project complexity and experience level.
Step 3: Review Visualization
Check the project visualization and material breakdown to ensure your dimensions are correct.
Step 4: Calculate & Order
Review the calculated volume, material quantities, and cost estimate. Use this information to place your concrete order.
Frequently Asked Questions
How accurate is the concrete calculator?
This calculator uses standard concrete calculation formulas and provides professional-grade estimates. Always consult with your concrete supplier for exact quantities.
What waste factor should I use?
For simple projects, 5-10% is typical. For complex shapes or if you’re inexperienced, use 15-20% to account for spillage and errors.
Can I calculate concrete for multiple shapes?
Currently, the calculator handles one shape at a time. For complex projects with multiple elements, calculate each separately and sum the volumes.
How do I convert between cubic yards and bags?
One cubic yard of concrete equals approximately 45 80-pound bags. The calculator automatically handles this conversion for you.
