Construction Unit Conversion Guide

Essential unit conversions for construction: concrete, lumber, rebar, area, and volume calculations.

Concrete Calculations

Volume: Length × Width × Depth. Convert to cubic yards (divide cubic feet by 27).

Example: 10 ft × 12 ft × 0.33 ft (4 in) = 39.6 cu ft = 1.47 cubic yards

Common Construction Conversions

  • 1 cubic yard = 27 cubic feet
  • 1 square (roofing) = 100 sq ft
  • 1 board foot = 144 cubic inches
  • 1 acre = 43,560 sq ft

Rebar Spacing

Common rebar sizes: #3 (3/8"), #4 (1/2"), #5 (5/8"), #6 (3/4"). Typical spacing: 12" or 18" on center.
