How to create plaster calculation calculator in excel

In this construction video tutorial, you will learn how to work out the quantities of mortar for plastering with the use of excel based plaster calculation calculator.

Before going to calculation process, we should know the definition of mortar and plaster.

Mortar belongs to a paste that is formed by adding water to a mix of fine aggregates like sand and building material.

Plaster means a lean mortar that is formed for certain application of arranging a supportive covering.

Given below, the functions of mortar :-

It is used for pointing or plastering to the structure.

The calculator is created in a tabular form that contains the following heads :-

In first row, there will be wall size (length x breadth x depth) in meter as well as volume and dry volume.

In second row, there will be ratios of cement and sand as well as sum of mix.

In third row, there will be quantities of cement in bags, cubic meter and kg.

In fourth row, there will be quantities of sand in cubic meter and cft.

To learn the detail calculation process, go through the following video tutorial.
