Use the supplier price for one selected unit, such as one cubic metre, one litre, or one cubic foot.

This batch models rectangular beds and one purchase-unit size. Circular areas, compaction factors, and multiple zones remain later-phase enhancements.

Bulk material calculator FAQ

Why does the result follow the purchase unit?
The volume lines use the unit you choose for bag or bulk size, so litre, cubic metre, and cubic foot workflows stay easy to compare against supplier quantities.

Can I use this for gravel and road base?
Yes for basic area Ã— depth planning. This batch does not yet model separate compaction factors, so it is best used as an estimate rather than a final delivery order.
