Enter the length and width of the area and the size of one paver with its joint. PRAXAO works out the number of pavers with the waste, the bedding sand and the base with the compaction allowance, the excavation and the kerbs round the edge. The drawing shows the layers in 3D, the paving in plan with its kerbs, and a section through the layers. Sizes, thicknesses, compaction and waste are starting values to replace with your supplier’s and engineer’s data.

Paved area: 24.00 m² · Pavers to buy: 1206 · Pavers per m² (joints included): 47.83 /m² · Bedding sand: 1.104 m³ · Base material (gravel): 4.140 m³ · Excavation: 6.480 m³ · Length of kerb line: 20.00 m · Kerbs to buy: 20
No. It counts what a set of dimensions requires. The pavement build-up for its traffic, the falls, the drainage and the kerb foundations come from the engineer.
One paver with its joint covers (length + joint) times (width + joint). The area is divided by that, increased by the waste percentage and rounded up.
Both lose volume when compacted, so more loose material is ordered than the finished thickness suggests. The allowance is a starting value: take the real one from your supplier.
Pavers with joints, sand bed, base, excavation and kerbs of a paved area: the method, with an example.
Number of tiles and boxes for a floor or wall, with grout joints and a cutting waste margin.
Volume of an excavation, swollen volume to haul, truck loads and weight of soil from the dimensions.
Volume of concrete for slabs, footings and columns, with waste margin and cement, sand and gravel quantities.
