Real site dimensions and workmanship affect the quantity.
Transport, cutting, pattern and breakage affect how much extra material to order.
This is an early quantity estimate. Site conditions, drawings, product details and workmanship can change the final requirement.
Wet mortar is increased to a dry-material volume and allocated among the entered mix parts before wastage is added.
Use the mix and dry-volume factor stated by the responsible professional or project specification.
A 1:6 mix means one cement part within seven total parts, not one-sixth of the entire dry volume.
Use this calculator only for an early quantity estimate. A qualified civil or structural engineer must decide the final structure, reinforcement and safety details.
Dry volume = wet volume × dry factor; each material = dry volume × ratio share
