Use our easy calculators to estimate building materials costs
The first step in estimating building materials costs is determining the exact amount of building materials your project will require. CEMEX USA has made it easier to navigate this crucial step by providing several building materials calculators that can help you determine exactly how much concrete, aggregates/asphalt, and block building material you will need.
Ready Mix Materials Calculator
The calculator will estimate the volume of concrete or aggregate needed for your project.
To use the calculator:
- Choose units of measure: English or Metric.
- Enter the width, length, and thickness of the project.
- Select whether you are measuring thickness in feet or inches.
- Click Calculate.
Aggregates/Asphalt Materials Calculator
The Tonnage Calculator will estimate the approximate tonnage of aggregates and asphalt needed for your project, as well as the volume of dirt to be removed.
To use the calculator:
- Choose units of measure: English or Metric.
- Enter the width, length, and thickness of the project.
- Select whether you are measuring thickness in feet or inches.
- Click Calculate.
Block Calculator
Use the block calculators below to calculate the amount of materials needed.
Block required
(add approx. 5% to the total for waste)
Mortar bags needed for block count
(add approx. 5% to the total for waste)
Sand amount needed for block count
(add ½ yard to the total amount you will need)
