Materials Calculator Benefits Construction and Landscape Project Planning
Matawan, NJ – May 15, 2009 – (RealEstateRama) — ATAK Trucking, a wholesale supplier of building and construction materials, including topsoil, dirt, gravel, stone, sand and aggregate materials, is pleased to introduce their new construction materials calculator to the public. The materials calculator, available online on their website at www.ataktrucking.com, helps users determine the amount of materials required for construction or landscaping projects.
ATAK’s new construction materials calculator is intended to help website visitors plan for their construction and landscaping projects and accurately determine the amount of materials needed to complete the project. “We want to make the process of calculating materials easy for our customers,” explains Tommy Torocco, owner of ATAK Trucking. “Too often people either over order materials and spend more than they need to or underestimate their needs and then have to reorder and hold up their project. Our new system takes away the guesswork and estimating offering customers the information necessary to enable them to order accurately and efficiently the first time.”
The construction materials calculator offered by ATAK helps users determine the number of cubic yards of material they need in just two easy steps. First, users choose the shape of the area they are looking to cover. The “Box Coverage Area” is used for a square or rectangular shaped area. Users simply enter in the length and width of the desired area and the materials calculator offers seven different “box areas” so customers can simultaneously calculate multiple areas (e.g., front yard, backyard, garden, etc.). The “Circular Coverage Area” works in a similar fashion. Users enter the diameter of the area and the materials calculator offers four different “circular areas” so multiple areas can be calculated (e.g., tree beds, flower beds, driveways, etc.).
Once the coverage areas are calculated, the user just needs to enter the depth of the materials they desire and the materials calculator automatically calculates the total cubic yards of material needed. The construction materials calculator accurately determines the cubic yards needed of material smaller than ¾ inches in size, such as topsoil, dirt, sand, gravel, stone and aggregate. For larger sized materials, customers should contact ATAK directly to get an accurate determination of cubic yards required.
“We hope our construction materials calculator makes planning for construction and landscape projects easier and more efficient for both residential and commercial customers,” says Torocco.
