Calculating Slab Volume

Slabs are the most common concrete pour. Whether it's a patio, driveway, or foundation, the math is the same.

Uneven Ground

The ground is never perfectly flat.

  • Safety Margin: If your ground varies by +/- 1 inch, calculate for the deeper depth to ensure you don't run short.
  • Sub-base: A 4-inch slab usually needs 4 inches of compacted gravel underneath.

Thickened Edges

Monolithic slabs often have deeper edges.

  • Calculation: Treat the edge as a separate "beam" calculation and add it to the main slab volume.
