How to Calculate

Foundation Concrete Formula

Volume = Foundation Length × Width × Depth

Measure the full length, width, and depth of the foundation trench or formwork. For strip foundations, multiply the trench length by the width and depth of the concrete pour. For pad foundations, calculate each pad separately and sum the volumes. Always include a 5–10% waste factor for spillage and ground irregularities.

Strip foundation

20 m × 0.6 m × 0.3 m = 3.6 m³

Pad foundation

1.2 m × 1.2 m × 0.5 m = 0.72 m³ per pad

Multiple pads

Sum individual pad volumes for total foundation concrete.
