Multiply the width, length and depth of your area. Concrete is usually ordered in cubic metres. Here's a conversion guide. There are 1.3 cubic yards in one cubic metre (If you have your requirement in cubic yards, all you need to do is divide by 1.3 to get the cubic metres answer).
1 Cubic Meter of Concrete
1m3 of concrete = 150l water + 250kg cement + 700kg sand + 1200kg aggregates.
one 20kg bag will cover an area of 1.1m2 to a depth of approximately 10mm. or 108 x 20kg bags equates to one cubic metre of mixed concrete.
Measuring cubic metres explained
A cubic metre (m3 or CBM) is a just another way of saying a block of space that measures 1m x 1m x 1m, height x width x depth. This calculation gives you a far more accurate indication of volume which translates to how much space you will require on a truck.
1 cubic meter is 1000 liters. The simplest way to convert cubic meters to liters is to move the decimal point three places to the right. In other words, multiply a value in cubic meters by 1000 to get the answer in liters.
A cubic metre (often abbreviated m3 or metre3) is the metric system's measurement of volume, whether of solid, liquid or gas.
How much is the cost of concrete per m3? The average cost of concrete is anywhere from $200 – $300 per m3 (cubic metre), though you could pay as much as $350 for 40 MPa strength. Variations in cost are due to local prices differing slightly, the type of concrete you order, and any additives or admixtures required.
The first thing you need to do is multiply the length by the width by the height. That gives the number of cubic millimetres. To calculate the number of litres, you then divide that number by a million.
Since the base area is given, simply multiply the area of the base times the height to calculate the volume.

One cubic meter of concrete converted to kilogram equals to 2,406.53 kg - kilo.
Converter type: concrete measurements
First unit: cubic meter (m3) is used for measuring volume. Second: cubic foot (cu ft - ft3) is unit of volume.
The milliliter is a unit of volume equal to 1 cubic centimeter, 1/1,000 of a liter, or about 0.061 cubic inches.
If your volume is in litres, convert it to milliliters by multiplying by 1,000. For example, if you have 2 liters, work out 2 x 1,000 = 2,000. If your volume is in kiloliters, multiply by 1,000,000. For example, if you have 0.5 kiloliters, work out 0.5 x 1,000,000 = 500,000.
