Barney12 Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferdinand Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 How does 30cm x surface area plus 50% sound? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToughButterCup Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 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.

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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
