Hey all, we're looking at the nexam. Does anyone know how much concrete it would take for 700 blocks? Their site is a little strange; https://nexcembuild.com/concrete-fill-volume/ I came up with 26 yards.

Depends on where you are in the country. IIRC, current price for concrete (3000 psi) is somewhere in the $100-120 range per cubic yard. That's without transport or pump truck costs.

I think bannerd wants to know volume.

What are your number of blocks and is it 4,6,or 8 inch thick wall. Do you want it in square meters or yards?

or

Length x Width x Height = Volume

if in inches divide by 46656 to get yards
if in feet divide by 27 to get yards

Or if in Square Meters, find someone who can translate into Canadian.

For the 6" block you should cover 2888 sq ft with 26 yards. 8" block you would cover 2000 sq ft with the same yardage.

Looking at the 8" core,

House foundation will be 50ft long by 30ft wide and 8ft high. I guess the 8" core is really 7.5 inches but total width is 14".

Nice to have all the information. It looks like 24 yds. Your going to need to run a special mix. I would also only use a 2" line pump, it should save you money.
