Worked example
For a representative landscaping & earthwork job, enter the measured values from one area first and calculate the result. Repeat the calculation for each area whose dimensions or conditions differ, add the results, and apply only the waste or contingency allowance the project actually requires. This keeps unlike conditions from being hidden inside one average.
