NOTE: This Calculator should be used as an estimating tool ONLY.
Dawkins Concrete is not responsible for any discrepancies in material based on calculations made with this application.

• Never order the exact amount of needed concrete. Include a margin of safety.
  A perfectly placed order of concrete will finish the job with a small amount left over. A 20 cubic yard order with 1 cubic yard left over is a good order. A 20 cubic yard order that comes up cubic yard short is not a good order.
• Rule of thumb: add 1/4″ to the thickness of your slab for your slab concrete budget.
  This assumes you have the job evenly graded to the right depth, and the grade is well compacted.
• Odd shapes: Transform odd shapes into rectangles and they are suddenly easy to figure.
  Figure driveway 14′ x 20′ and your estimate will be good. Here is why: The driveway is 16′ at the top and 12′ at the bottom. Through the center the width averages 14′.
• Steps seem tricky to calculate but are not.
  If there are three steps leading up to a porch. Use the slab calculator to figure the concrete needed for the porch surface. Use the footing calculator to calculate the sides of the porch and the steps.
