3. Calculation Limitations

3.1 Estimates Only

All concrete volume, material quantity, and cost estimates provided by our calculators are approximations. Actual requirements may vary significantly from the calculated results due to factors including but not limited to:

• Site conditions and terrain irregularities
• Concrete waste, spillage, and overfill
• Formwork variations and tolerances
• Concrete settling and compaction rates
