24m for floor 23m for walls and 12for the founds depending on spec

that allows for 6ince of concrete in floor and 9inch width of wall- founds could take a lot more depending on depth and width

how do you work it out? building a bit of a mistery to me

60'X30' is about 170 Sq M.
Each cubic M of Concrete at 5.6'' deep will do 7 Sq M. Or if you devide 1000 by 7 you get 143mm or 5.6''.
Your floor is about 170 Sq M So you'll need 24M Concrete. (As Stanflt said)
170 devided by 7 is 24.

I'm not sure what length of wall you require?

simple shed floor is 60ft or 18m long by 30ft or 9m and screed is 6inches 0.150m

so floor = 18*9*0.150=24.3m3 of concrete

wall are 2m high by lenghth 18+18+9+5 cause you have to be able to get into shed on one side:D and walls are 9inches wide or 0.225m

so wall are 2*50*0.225= 22.5m3

Here you go, an Excel sheet that will work it out.
I make it at 54 M3 total. This with 1ft extension on the floor outside the walls all round.

what would you have in a load, 8 or 9M?? and how much roughly is a load of concrete these days..
just trying to work out what it will cost to put walls and floor down, I suppose concrete is the way to go as opposed to blocks

You're being robbed boss. Bought 16m for €950 inc VAT the other day. It was also drawn from 30 miles away from me. That was 30N10

Who did you buy it from?

At that price they hardly covered the diesel and the cement for the mix!!

Are you sure it was 30N? Plus, 10mm stone makes it even more expensive. Seems you got a bargain there. Where are you located roughly?
