Composite of cement, sand, aggregate and water (plus admixtures when specified). Strength grades such as M20/M25 are planning labels — design governs.
Educational reference only. Quantities, specifications and price ranges are indicative planning aids — verify with suppliers, codes and your engineer or contractor before purchase or construction.
Concrete gains strength as cement hydrates. Site-mixed and ready-mix (RMC) are both common. Workability, compaction and curing are as important as mix proportions for durability.
Use the dedicated quantity tool for planning estimates. Results are indicative — not a substitute for drawings, BOQs or supplier quotes.

Ready-mix quotes are typically per cubic metre including delivery radius. Site-mix cost is materials + labour + equipment. Ranges move with cement, aggregate and fuel — use local quotes for budgeting.

Urban RMC plants
Plant quote
Ask for grade, slump, admixture and unloading terms.
Remote sites
Higher logistics
Transit time and small pour premiums matter.
PCC (plain)
No reinforcement; levelling and bedding.
RCC (reinforced)
Concrete + steel; member sizes from structural design.
RMC
Plant-batched delivery; useful for quality control on larger pours.
No. Volume and material splits are for planning. Member sizes, grades and reinforcement must come from a qualified design.
Wet volume is the compacted concrete volume in place. Dry volume factors account for bulking of materials when converting to cement/sand/aggregate quantities.
Hydraulic binder used in concrete, masonry mortar, plaster and screed. Bagged OPC/PPC grades are common on Indian sites.
Fine aggregate for concrete, mortar and plaster. River sand and manufactured sand (M-sand) are both used — grading and silt content matter.
Crushed stone / jelly used in concrete and some base layers. Size grading (e.g. 20 mm) affects mix design and pumpability.
Reinforcement bars (typically TMT) used in RCC. Weight follows the d²/162 rule for metre lengths — design dictates diameters and spacing.
Educational overview aligned with common RCC practice. Quantity math is implemented in the Concrete Calculator; steel for RCC members is not invented from architectural sizes alone.
