Cement: How Much Do You Actually Need?

Ordering cement short means a second delivery charge. Ordering long means money sitting on site. Here is how to get it right.

The short version

  • Work from area or drawing, not from a round number.
  • Add a wastage allowance appropriate to the trade, not a flat ten per cent.
  • Account for breakage and offcuts on anything cut to size.
  • Send us the measurements and we will work the quantity back for you.
