Please check.
- Please be sure to check the input unit (mm/m]. Mixing up units is the biggest cause of on-site accidents due to incorrect ready-mix concrete orders.
- It is standard practice to fine-tune the quantity when ordering the last vehicle, taking into account the remaining volume of the pump truck pipeline (about 0.2 to 0.5 cubic meters].
- If there is a significant difference in elevation of the foundation, it is safer to calculate based on the deepest point and apply a 5–10% markup.
- To reduce ready-mix concrete costs when pouring walls, you must accurately input and deduct the area of openings such as windows and doors.
- One large ready-mix concrete truck holds 6 cubic meters and can pour approximately 1.5 pyeong based on a thickness of 200mm.

Concrete cubic meter (㎥] calculation formula
"Lube" is a field term for cubic meters (㎥], and it is basically calculated by multiplying the width, length, and height (thickness].
1. Basic Volume Calculation Formula
This is a standard method for calculating volume by converting the millimeter units commonly used in the field into meters.
2. Customized calculation method by structure
When pouring wall concrete, you must exclude the area of openings such as doors or windows (deductible area] to reduce errors.
3. Calculation of Final Order Quantity (Markup Reflected]
A surcharge (Loss] of usually 5–10% is added to account for formwork displacement or pump truck residue.
Detailed Guide to Calculator Input Items
Please enter accurate measurement values according to the selected items for each structure.
-
1. Slab / Mat Specifications
Enter the floor width, length, and pouring thickness in mm or m units.
-
2. Foundation / Wall Specifications
Please enter the total length and height of the foundation, or the overall specifications and thickness of the wall.
-
3. Deduction area
Enter the dimensions of openings such as doors or windows to automatically exclude them from the quantity.
-
4. Surcharge rate
Usually, a 5~10% surcharge is added to account for formwork displacement or pump truck remaining volume.
Concrete Standard Specification Guide
These are the recommended specifications for general ready-mix concrete based on the construction area and required strength.
Essential Checklist for Fail-Free Construction
This is a practical checklist to minimize on-site errors.
-
Caution regarding mixed units
This is the most common mistake in the field. Please make sure to check that the selected unit and input value match.
-
Check floor level uniformity
If there is a significant difference in elevation, calculate the average thickness or divide the calculation into sections to prevent shortages.
-
Weather-based surcharge adjustment
On hot days, moisture evaporates quickly, so it is safer to set the surcharge rate 1 to 2 percent higher.
-
Considering the remaining amount of the pump truck
Please adjust the quantity when placing the last vehicle order, taking into account the remaining amount inside the boom.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ]
- Q. How many square meters can be poured with one truckload of ready-mix concrete (6 cubic meters]?
- A. Based on a thickness of 200mm, approximately 1.5 pyeong can be poured per cubic meter, so one truck can cover about 9 pyeong (30㎡].
- Q. How many bags of bagged concrete (ready-mix mortar] are needed per cubic meter?
- A. Since one 40kg bag is about 0.02 cubic meters, you need about 50 bags to fill 1 cubic meter.
- Q. How do I convert area (hebe] to cubic meters?
- A. You just need to multiply the area (㎡] by the thickness (m]. Example: 100㎡ x 0.2m = 20 cubic meters.
