Grid lines are equalized so the drawing stays readable. The order count uses on-center spacing with a bar at each end of the layout, then holds concrete cover in the field.

Show the deterministic formula

Slab ft³ = L × W × thickness ÷ 12. Thickened-edge extra = footing band × (footing depth − slab thickness), with corner squares counted once.

yd³ = ft³ ÷ 27. m³ = ft³ × 0.0283168. Weight uses 150 lb/ft³, then the header converts that pound total at 1 lb = 0.45359237 kg. 80 lb bags yield 0.6 ft³ and 60 lb bags yield 0.45 ft³. Currency changes the price labels only.

Bars across a span = floor(span ÷ spacing) + 1. Order sticks = that count, plus 10, 5, or 15 percent waste, cut from 20 ft and 6 m stock. Chairs = one per grid intersection.

Engineering notes

Forty by sixty feet at 6 in is 44.44 cubic yards before the edge and before waste. The turn-down is 12 in wide and 18 in deep, so 12 in of extra depth is added on the perimeter band. This is a multi-truck pour. The mat is #4 at 16 in, plus two continuous edge bars. Joint layout, vapor retarder, and dowels are not drawn. Confirm frost depth before you lock the 18 in edge.

Code reference

IRC R506.1 sets a 3.5 in minimum for concrete slab-on-ground floors. Reinforcement cover and spacing follow ACI 318 practice and the local inspector. This quantity takeoff is not a soils or structural design.

Field questions

How is the 18 inch edge different from the slab?
The 6 in slab covers the full rectangle. The edge adds only the remaining 12 in of depth over the 12 in wide band, with corners counted once.
What stock length is used for rebar?
The sheet reports both 20 ft sticks and 6 m sticks. Waste adds extra sticks for laps and cutoffs.
Can the prices stay in dollars if I switch to metric?
Yes. Length, weight, and currency are separate. Choose USD or another currency in the header. The rate is a fixed planning snapshot from US dollars and does not change the cubic yards, bag count, or rebar sticks.
