May 18, 2007; 01:37 AM

Source4me the online builders merchant and Building Materials & Supplies Sourcing specialist, have provided a number of useful calculators on their site.

There are building material calculators available from a basic volume or dimension conversion.

Up to some very extensive calculators for brickwork, render and screeding.

If you need to know what quantities of sand, lime, cement and plastisicer you will need for a given area and thickness of render or stucco then the render/stucco estimator would be for you.

Or the quantities of bricks & blocks in single or double thickness walls along with how much sand, opc and plastisicer are required for your project then try the brick, block and mortar calculator.

There are also calculators for concrete, ready mix and diy screeds, paving beds, bulking of materials upon excavation, internal plaster and a sub base calculator.
  
The full list available can be found by navigating from their home page, useful for builders, developers and diy alike.

They do however make the point that these calculators should only be used as a guide.

Of course Source4me remain dedicated experts in the sourcing and supply of specialist and hard to locate Building Materials & Supplies, as well as providing an urgent requirement service throughout the UK.
