Calculated result

49.5 ft³ · 83 bags

Raw scheduled core-fill volume: 45 ft³

Order volume: 1.833 yd³

83 bags at 0.6 ft³ mixed yield each

Optional bag price not entered.

1. Raw fill = 180 × 0.25 ft³ × 100% = 45 ft³.
2. With 10% allowance: 45 × 1.1 = 49.5 ft³.
3. Bags = ceil(49.5 ÷ 0.6) = 83.

Material quantity only. Use exact CMU core-fill data and grout/concrete yield. Required filled cells, reinforcement and placement procedure come from the project design and applicable requirements.
