Keep this bid so it is still here when the customer calls back. Every number on this form is saved together, under a name you choose, along with the figure it gave you, and restoring one puts the whole job back exactly as you priced it. Mark each one won or lost when you hear — the ones you have not heard back on stay listed as waiting, with how long they have been out. Once a few have come back, this panel says how long yours actually take, and how many are still out past that. Once enough of them have been decided, it also says whether the bids you save here have been landing differently lately than they used to.

Pick a slab, a footing strip or round piers. You get cubic yards, the ready-mix order rounded up to a quarter yard with your waste allowance, and the bag count for 40, 60 or 80 lb mix. Nothing leaves your browser.
Do the whole house: footing, stem wall, slab, rebar and forms in one takeoff
A 12 x 12 ft slab 4 in thick is 48 cu ft, which is 1.78 cu yd. With 10% waste that is 1.96, so order 2 cu yd of ready-mix, or about 88 bags of 80 lb mix at 0.6 cu ft each.
A cubic yard is 27 cu ft and an 80 lb bag yields about 0.6 cu ft, so 45 bags before waste, 50 with 10% waste. Past about a yard, ready-mix is usually the easier order.
Subgrade is rarely dead flat, forms bow a little and some mix is left in the truck and the wheelbarrow. Running short mid-pour leaves a cold joint, so most people over-order slightly. The percentage is yours to change.
Many plants charge a short-load fee below roughly 3 to 4 cu yd, and the figure varies by plant, so call yours. For one or two yards, compare that fee against bagged mix.
