INPUT VALUES
The QPOD™ calculator is only as accurate as the input values provided, please be sure to consider each factor for best results. We have provided the QPOD calculator as a guide only and is based on our professional knowledge of the Raft slab structure with QPOD™ system.
We welcome any feedback on the calculations and would love to hear more about your project.

CONCRETE USAGES
Estimates are based on the input values used in the QPOD™ calculator, actual concrete usages will vary based on site preparation accuracy, service penetrations, shower recesses and many other factors outside our control, a nominal 5-10% extra would be a normal additional allowance when ordering concrete.
QPOD™ COMPONENTS
QPOD™ components required can be estimated based on the m2 as per input values used in the QPOD™ calculator, actual pod and accessory usages will vary based on the configuration of your floor.
A full floor configuration can be prepared for you by the QPOD™ foundations team for accurate QS and ordering.

These options incorporate the use of The Quickset Insulated formwork systems tailored to suit H1/AS1 Requirements Effective 29 November 2021
Determine QPOD Compliance to H1/AS1 through Verification.
Referencing F.1.1 ‘Methods for determining construction R-values for slab-on-ground floors this states The construction R-values for concrete slab-on-ground floors, including floors of basements that contain conditioned spaces, shall be determined using: a) The performance tables described in Section F.1.2; or b) The calculation method in Verification Method H1/VM1 Appendix F. Here we reference results based on the calculation method in Verification Method.
