Ballpark, not gospel. This estimates yards, bags, sheets, and costs from the numbers you punch in — always check against your supplier's specs and your own measurements before ordering or quoting.

Questions concrete & drywall contractors actually ask

Straight answers, no fluff. Then run your own numbers above.

How many bags of concrete do I need?

An 80 lb bag yields about 0.6 cubic feet. A 10×10 slab at 4 inches thick is 33.3 cubic feet — about 56 bags before waste, 62 with 10% waste. Past about 1 cubic yard, ready-mix delivery is cheaper than bags. The calculator shows both routes.

How many cubic yards are in a 10x10 slab?

A 10×10 slab at 4 inches thick is 1.23 cubic yards before waste — order 1.4 yards with a 10% waste factor. At 6 inches thick it's 1.85 yards, so order 2 yards.

How many drywall sheets do I need for a 12x12 room?

A 12×12 room with 8-foot ceilings has about 384 square feet of wall plus 144 for the ceiling — 528 total, minus doors and windows. That works out to 15–17 full 4×8 sheets. The calculator does the exact math from your room dimensions.

How much does drywall installation cost per square foot?

In the US, hanging and finishing drywall typically runs $1.50–$3.00 per square foot of drywall, depending on region and finish level. Materials add roughly $0.50–$1.00 per square foot.
