How do I estimate concrete needed for a footing versus a slab using this tool?

Footings and slabs have very different geometry, footings are often deeper and more localised while slabs are thinner and spread across a large area, so calculate them as separate line items using their respective dimensions rather than lumping them into one combined volume. This also helps you plan separate pours, since footings are typically cast […]

This also helps you plan separate pours, since footings are typically cast before the slab above them in a normal construction sequence.
