OPEN BIDS
hey RJ .. fly to NY and i can show you how i can convert a man into a bloody mess in 2 minutes.. And ill buy your ticket.
You know rj628, you haven't brought one positive thing into the mix. There's no need for the comments.
Owner of a contracting firm doesn't know you can't convert square footage to cubic yardage? I'm assuming that owner relies on strong estimators.
If anyone needs conversion info, I found this excellent site for any kind of conversion you might possibly ever need.

Yeah, like when I waste hours converting metric to standard on all my DOT bids. Very handy indeed.

There is a deeper problem here. It is important to know that:
Linear measurement is one-dimensional; we are measuring length only. (inch, foot, yard)
Point A to Point B (distance) = Length
Square measurement is two-dimensional; we are measuring length AND width. (square inch, square foot, square yard) Length X Width = Area
Cubic measurement is three-dimensional; we are measuring length, width AND height. (cubic inch, cubic foot, cubic yard) Length X Width X Height (OR Thickness OR Depth) = Volume

You cant convert SQUARE feet into cubic yards no. You can convert CUBIC feet into cubic yards or square feet into square yards.
9 square feet = 1 square yard
27 cubic feet = 1 cubic yard
These are not the EXACT conversions, but they are close enough for estimating purposes.
