Description

Our Topsoil Pro Estimator has the ability to calculate the amount of topsoil required for your project in either cubic yards or cubic metres.

This app will allow you to calculate unlimited number of areas.

Our app also allows for extra. This is an important feature. Topsoil, is sold by volume (or weight) and is calculated in a uncompacted loose form. When you use it on your project, you'll most certainly want to pack it down some. The ability to include extra is a useful estimating procedure. Our app explains how to use this feature clearly.

Include tax, material rates and delivery charges for a complete estimate. Add client info and you can email result to your office for review or directly to client for approval.

Why Did We Develop This App:

Too many folks, have a difficult time remembering industry standard formulas and conversions when it comes time to calculate materials.

Mistakes can be made when:

1. Estimators forget to convert inches to feet when used in formulas. Imagine using 6" when the formula required you to convert the inch to feet first. You'd be way off on your estimate as the formula used 6" when in fact it should have been .5'

2. Estimators forget the constant numbers used to convert cubic feet to cubic yards. Many times it's hard to remember do I use 9 as a constant (when converting area calculations) or 27 (when converting volume calculations). Sometimes it becomes even more confusing, if you don't actually need to perform a conversion but you do.

3. Estimators forget to include a % of extra material to account for compaction factors or waste material. By not including the extra % required, you'll find yourself short of material on the job.

Who Is This App For:

Our Topsoil Pro Estimator is a valuable tool for contractors, retailers, students and home owners alike. If you work with landscape materials you'll find that our app will aid you in calculating proper quantity takeoffs.

You're task is to measure the required areas, our app will do the rest.

Starting The App:

We designed our app to accommodate the different ways folks measure. Some like to measure an area by length & width, while others will have already determined the area and may not remember the actual length & width measurements.

Methods Used To Determine Answers:

All industry acceptable methods of determining answers, equations and quantity takeoffs are used in calculating proper answers.

Our app is unique as we allow you to adjust certain formulas with custom data. Don't worry we only allow this when needed and indicate so, in the calculator interface.

As an example, you are allowed to input the depth of soil you wish to install for a specific area, before continuing with the answer.

Works like a champ

This app is very helpful in determining how many yards of topsoil you will need on the fly. I use it multiple times a week doing bids and really have found it a great tool!
