Planning rates only. Pick a currency — badges, inputs, and totals follow. Material is a rate. Labour is hours × a planning hourly rate. Equipment and delivery are this-job amounts.

Planning defaults are office figures, not a bid. US ready-mix in 2026 often lands around $125–165 per cubic yard delivered; place-and-finish commonly $2–4 per square foot. Replace every rate with a supplier or crew quote before you send the letter.

How this calculator works

A transparent acreage takeoff.

Rectangular length times width, divided by 43,560 for acres and by 10,000 m² for hectares. This is a planning area, not a boundary survey.

Worked example. Example: a 200 × 150 ft tract is 30,000 ft², 0.69 acres and 0.279 hectares.

1. Measure or scale the two sides of a rectangle that matches the tract.
2. Split odd shapes into rectangles and add the acres on the estimate.
3. Do not use this number to move a fence. Hire a survey when the line matters.

Questions

Questions about acreage

GIS or deed acres?

Those can disagree with a tape. This tool is length × width only.

Metric?

Switch units to enter metres. The hectare line uses the same rectangle.

What is the formula ID?

This calculator publishes formula UTIL-ACR-001, version 1.0.0. The ID stays on the result and on the estimate line.

Is this engineering advice?

No. Construclytic is a planning website, not a registered engineering or contracting firm. Field checks, codes and product data still sit with you.

Does Construclytic fetch live supplier prices?

No. Costs use the rate you enter. Construclytic does not fetch live supplier prices.
