A foundation is being constructed for a residential house basement (32' x 60'). The owner is weighing the option of using CMU or concrete and needs a material quantity survey to apply unit pricing. The foundation wall will be 8" thick 10' tall and the footing will be sized according to the rule of thumb method. Assume no openings.

Concrete:

Calculate how much concrete (cubic yards) is needed for the footings

Calculate how much concrete (cubic yards) is needed if the foundation walls are cast in place

CMU:

Calculate the gross number of units for a CMU foundation

Calculate the number of corner blocks for a CMU foundation

Calculate the net number of units for a CMU foundation

Calculate the quantity of mortar (cubic feet) needed
