Slabs + Pavers
SLABS & PAVERS CALCULATION
×- Multiply the dimensions of the project area to be covered (width x length = area to be covered)
- Multiply the dimensions of the chosen slab or paver (width x length = area covered by the product)
- Divide the total area to be covered by the area covered by the product = number of units to be purchased
** Allow 10% for cuts and extras
NOTE : Calculate with the same unit of measurement Convert inches to feet: _'' x _'' = square inches / 144 = square feet

RETAINING WALLS CALCULATION
×- Multiply the dimensions of the project area to be covered (width x length = area to be covered)
- Multiply the dimensions of the chosen slab or paver (width x length = area covered by the product)
- Divide the total area to be covered by the area covered by the product = number of units to be purchased
** Allow 10% for cuts and extras
NOTE : Calculate with the same unit of measurement Convert inches into feet: _'' x _'' = square inches / 144 = square feet. If there is a difference in level, it is easier to calculate a rectangle and divide in two.

Borders
BORDER CALCULATION
×- Add the perimeter of the project to be covered in linear feet
- If there are cut-outs or patterns, each of them must be calculated individually to use full border lengths.
- Divide the total perimeter or cut-outs to be covered by the length covered by the border = number of units to be purchased
** Allow 10% for cuts and extras if project involves movements
NOTE :
Calculate with the same unit of measurement
Convert inches to feet: _'' inches / 12 = linear foot
Calculate each measurement individually to use full-length borders

RESULTS
CUTS AND LOSSES
In this result, an additional % of products has been provided to cover losses and cuts.
In this estimate, we anticipate:
10% for projects from 0 to 1000 sq. ft.
7% for projects from 1001 to 3000 sq. ft.
5% for projects of 3,000 sq. ft. or more.
