ConcreteCalc™ Pro reduces waste, cuts estimating time

The ConcreteCalc™ Pro is an advanced yard, feet-inch-fraction concrete construction-math calculator from Calculated Industries, makers of the Construction Master Pro. The easy-to-use ConcreteCalc Pro helps improve design accuracy, cuts estimating time in the field or in the office, and helps prevent re-work with fast, accurate solutions for bricks and blocks, square-ups, loads, area, volume, rebar, drop and stairs. It is an ideal tool for highway, paving and masonry contractors.

Tony Genier of Concrete Professionals, Inc., in Middletown Springs, VT, says, “We are a small company and time is money. The calculator helps set diagonals with perfection. We can also quickly calculate the number of bricks or blocks we’ll need for building a wall or how much mud we need for a pad.”

This is how easy it is to calculate the number of standard bricks (2-1/4" x 8")
needed for an 8' high, 36' 6" long wall:
  • Calculate and enter the brick area: 18 square inches
  • Multiply the wall length times height: 292 square feet
  • Find number of bricks: 2,336
You can also find the number of standard 8" x 16" blocks needed for a 4' high “L” shaped retaining wall with sides 22' long and 15’ 8" long.
  • Enter the block size.
  • Add the wall lengths.
  • Multiply times wall height.
  • Solve for number of blocks: 169.5 (170)
  • Add a 5% waste factor: 177.95 (178) blocks.
Similarly, you can use the rebar function to find the total linear feet and the rebar weight per foot for a 23' x 16' slab using No. 5 rebar, 16" spacing and 3" inset.
  • Weight per foot: 1.042 pounds per foot
  • Total linear feet: 533 feet, 6 inches
  • Total rebar weight: 555.843 pounds
The ConcreteCalc Pro can also solve circular solutions for area, arc, circumference, columns and cones; and with the polygon function, users can calculate full angles and bi-sect angles. For small jobs, a push of a button will determine the number of bags of concrete needed.
