How It Calculates the Results
This calculator computes the total cost of building a stone wall based on the provided parameters:
- The volume of the wall is calculated by multiplying its length, height, and thickness.
- The total stone cost is computed by multiplying the volume by the stone cost per cubic meter.
- The total cement cost assumes that 10% of the volume is cement and multiplies it by the cement cost per cubic meter.
- The total labor cost is calculated by multiplying the labor cost per hour by the estimated work hours.
- The final total cost is the sum of the total stone cost, total cement cost, and total labor cost.
Limitations
The calculator assumes that 10% of the wall volume is taken up by cement, which may not be accurate for all projects. Always consult a professional for precise measurements and cost estimates.
