Concrete and Flatwork Estimate Calculator, Excel and Google Sheets: Cubic Yards by Pour, Pump Fees

Enter slabs, footings, walls and pads. Get cubic yards grouped by pour and rounded to your order step, with short-load and pump fees, reinforcement, forms and finishing.

What it does
• Enter up to 40 elements in up to 10 pours: type, length, width or height, thickness in inches, qty.
• Adds your overage % and rounds each pour up to your order increment.
• Adds the short-load fee to any pour under your threshold, and the pump fee once per pour that needs a pump.
• Prices reinforcement (none, mesh, rebar grid, fiber) and finish (broom, smooth trowel, stamped, exposed aggregate) per sq ft.
• Adds edge forms, placing labor, other costs and markup for an estimate total.

Tested before release
Both files were tested with the sample data in Excel (Excel for the web) and Google Sheets: all 16 expected results matched (totals, single rows, blank rows, cross-sheet values and percentages, each worked out separately), with no formula errors across 469 formulas.
No macros, no add-ins, no external links. Input cells are blue text on light amber. In the Excel file, formula cells are locked with no password so they don't get typed over by accident.
