Exact Cement Consumption Formula for RCC Slab (M20 & M25)
Construction Estimator India thumb rule: 0.22 bags/sq ft (4″), 0.28 (5″), 0.34 (6″), 0.45 (8″) for M20.
Professional Formula:
- Volume m³ = Area sq ft × (Thickness inches ÷ 12) × 0.0254
- Cement = Volume × 7.8 bags/m³ (M20) / 8.6 (M25)
- Add 8-10% wastage.
Example: 1000 sq ft × 5″ = 10.6 m³ × 7.8 = 330–340 bags.
Cement + Sand + Aggregate + Steel Quantity per Square Foot
