Frequently Asked Questions
How accurate is the concrete calculator?
Our calculator uses industry-standard formulas and provides accurate estimates for most concrete projects. Always add 5-10% extra concrete to account for waste and spillage.
What's the difference between concrete mixes?
Different mixes have varying cement-to-aggregate ratios, affecting strength, workability, and cost. Choose based on your project requirements and structural needs.
How long does concrete take to cure?
Concrete typically reaches 90% strength in 28 days, but initial setting occurs within 24-48 hours. Proper curing is essential for maximum strength and durability.
Can I use this for commercial projects?
While our calculator provides accurate estimates, always consult with a structural engineer for commercial projects to ensure compliance with building codes and safety requirements.
