How does the tool handle openings in a structure?

The `calculate_element_volume` tool subtracts the volume of all specified openings from the gross volume to provide an accurate net volume.

Can I account for concrete lost in a pump?

Yes, use the `estimate_pump_requirements` tool to calculate the additional volume needed to cover residue left in the pump lines.

How can I compare different ordering strategies?

You can use `compare_takeoff_scenarios` to see the difference in total volume between two different waste factors or configurations.

This MCP server provides specialized tools for construction professionals to determine exact concrete requirements. Use calculate_element_volume to compute gross and net volumes for slabs, columns, beams, and more, while accounting for structural openings. You can also use estimate_pump_requirements to calculate the extra volume needed for pump residue, or compare_takeoff_scenarios to evaluate how different waste factors impact your final order. The validate_element_geometry tool ensures your dimensions and voids are physically coherent before you place an order.
