Volume of demolition from house?

[Barney12]

This is probably a really daft question but is there a rule of thumb as to how much volume/weight of hardcore comes from demolition?

our local 'digger man' who I know and trust has agreed to demolish our old house with his 20t digger. He'll also remove all footings using a pecker as required.

he's also said that he can "munch" (technical term) the blocks/concrete/bricks down to roughly 4" (in old money) using a bucket crusher.

ideally I don't want any muck away and we have plenty of land to loose it on and quite a few landscaping levels to create. But how do I work out what volume I'll end up with?

How does 30cm x surface area plus 50% sound?

Here you are Barney. Not exactly what you need but nearly.......

Using a simple sensible guesstimate of the raw volume of material in situ, the Excavated Material calculator is closest to what I think you may need.

I remember this bit.  Everyone wanted around £1000 every time we needed anything doing (and sometimes several rounds of £1000).

Wait until the next bit when everyone starts wanting £5k every time you need something doing - and then the £20k round that follows!
