Concrete Strip Foundation Quantity Calculator

Linear reinforced concrete strip foundation, optionally stepped on sloping ground. Computes foundation excavation (depth-banded), blinding, reinforced concrete, formwork, and a BS 8666:2020 bar schedule per CESMM4 E.4/G.5, NRM2 5.7/11, MMHW 600.6/1700, and SMM7 D20/E30.
