* Recommended Turf: For turf supply, we factor in a small percentage (5%) to account for potential installation losses, and calculate quantities to the nearest full roll.
General Estimate Limitations:
- The accuracy of our calculated quantities depends on the precision of the data you provide.
- Ensure measurements are entered using the correct units of measurement.
- All calculated figures are rounded upwards.
- Our estimation tools are not intended for extremely small areas. Results below 0.01 units may be unreliable due to rounding.
Bulk Material Considerations:
- Material densities can fluctuate. The calculator provides an approximation only.
- Precise quantity calculations are uncommon. Consider whether it is preferable to have a slight surplus or a small deficit.
- Evaluate potential uses for leftover materials and the means of disposing of excess.
- Factor in the cost of a second delivery if insufficient material is supplied versus the cost of managing surplus.
Turf and Paver Specifics:
- Turf: We recommend adding a small percentage to your calculated turf quantity to account for potential installation losses. The actual quantity needed may vary based on roll packing.
- Pavers: Paver quantities are subject to variation when cutting is required. When using larger pavers, consider if your area's dimensions are multiples of the paver size.
- Example: For 400mm x 400mm pavers covering 2.5m x 1.1m, adjusting the area to 2.4m x 1.2m (multiples of 0.4m) requires 18 pavers.
- If adjustment is not possible, allow for wastage due to cutting.
We advise careful consideration of these factors to ensure accurate material procurement.
