A complete material checklist for new build groundworks - from strip foundations and rebar through to floor slab, screed and drainage.
Groundworks are the most critical stage of any new build - and the stage where getting material quantities right matters most. Concrete pours cannot be easily undone, rebar deliveries are heavy and costly to return, and errors in sub-base depth affect everything built on top. Whether you are working with a groundworker or managing the project yourself, having accurate quantities for each element before breaking ground saves significant time and money.
This project kit covers every material from the strip foundation pour through to the finished ground floor slab and drainage provision. Enter your plot dimensions and foundation details once, and each of the 7 calculators opens pre-loaded with the relevant inputs. The kit works from the bottom up - foundation concrete and rebar first, then sub-base aggregate, damp proof membrane, floor screed, rainwater attenuation and finally drainage gravel. Save each result to your project as you go, building a complete bill of materials for your groundworks package.
Work through these 7 calculators in order - from foundation concrete down to floor screed and drainage. Each one uses your plot and foundation dimensions to pre-fill the key inputs.
