Formula and methodology
Formula: Project area = L×W; installed footprint = (paver length + gap)×(paver width + gap); order = ceil(area/footprint×(1+waste)).
Paver orders are driven by the area of the finished project and the installed footprint of each unit. This calculator lets the user enter actual paver dimensions and a joint gap, then adds an explicit allowance before rounding to whole pieces. It is for a single repeating paver size and rectangular area, not a full pattern takeoff.
This result follows the calculator's declared inputs, precision, validation boundaries, and model limits.
Input contract
- Paved area length — m; minimum 1.0E-6; maximum 10000000
- Paved area width — m; minimum 1.0E-6; maximum 10000000
- Paver length — m; minimum 1.0E-6; maximum 10000
- Paver width — m; minimum 1.0E-6; maximum 10000
- Joint gap — m; minimum 0; maximum 1000
- Waste and cutting allowance — %; minimum 0; maximum 1000
Worked example
| Input | Value |
|---|---|
| Paved area length | 4 |
| Paved area width | 4 |
| Paver length | 0.2 |
| Paver width | 0.2 |
| Joint gap | 0 |
| Waste and cutting allowance | 5 |
A 4 m × 4 m area needs 400 pavers before allowance and 420 pavers with a 5% ordering allowance.
Assumptions and limits
- The project is represented as one rectangle and uses one repeating rectangular paver size.
- The joint gap is added in both directions as a simple repeating grid approximation.
- Waste allowance covers cuts, breakage, and layout loss; mixed patterns, curves, borders, supplier coverage rates, base depth, and local installation requirements need separate planning.
