how to fo manual calculation of the shuttering and volume for the construction of a building

Question

Accepted Answer

To manually calculate shuttering and volume for building construction, measurements of the structure and materials used must be taken into account.

Calculate the area of each component of the building (walls, slabs, columns, etc.) that require shuttering.
Determine the thickness of the shuttering material to be used for each component.
Multiply the area of each component by the thickness of the shuttering material to get the volume of shuttering needed.
Consider any additional factors such as wastage, overlaps, and joints in the calculations.
Keep accurate records of all measurements and calculations for reference during construction.
Example: To calculate the shuttering for a wall, measure the length and height of the wall, determine the thickness of the shuttering material, and multiply the area by the thickness to get the volume needed.
