Concrete mix quantities, rebar weight, brickwork, plastering, tiles, and paint — all based on BIS codes (IS 456, IS 1786, IS 2212, IS 2116). Plus Indian unit conversions including sqft, sqm, cents, and gunthas.
Dry volume factor 1.54 applied per Indian practice. M30+ requires design mix per IS 10262:2019 — proportions vary by aggregate type and water-cement ratio.
Standard bar length in India is 12 m. Formula D²/162 derived from steel density 7850 kg/m³. Use MT output for procurement orders.
10% brick wastage included. 1:6 mortar is standard for loadbearing brickwork; use 1:4 for superstructure as per structural design. Dry mortar factor 1.33 applied.
Dry volume factor 1.35 applied for mortar shrinkage and wastage. For double-coat external plastering, calculate first coat (12mm, 1:6) and finish coat (8mm, 1:4) separately.
Tiles per box varies by brand and size — confirm with your supplier. Always purchase at least 10% extra over calculated quantity. Keep extra tiles for future repairs.
Coverage varies by brand, surface porosity, and application method. Rough/unplastered surfaces may need 20–30% more. Always apply a coat of primer before emulsion on new surfaces.
