From the trash enclosure footing plan, what concrete volume is required?

The footing volume is about 8.3 cubic yards.

Answer Options
A
8.3 cy
B
7.4 cy
C
9.1 cy
D
10.2 cy

Why This Is the Correct Answer

The footing volume is about 8.3 cubic yards.

Why the Other Options Are Wrong

Option B: 7.4 cy

7.4 cy is below the supported result for footing volume takeoff; it likely omits allowance, conversion, coverage, or final round-up.

Option C: 9.1 cy

9.1 cy is above the supported result for footing volume takeoff; it likely double-counts allowance, uses the wrong unit, or rounds too early.

Option D: 10.2 cy

10.2 cy is above the supported result for footing volume takeoff; it likely double-counts allowance, uses the wrong unit, or rounds too early.

Memory Technique

Footing Volume Takeoff cart for Trash Enclosure: cubic first, yards second, whole cy last.

Reference Hint

Open-book path: turn to sheet S-106 in the plan packet, then use the TRASH ENCLOSURE FOOTING PLAN note/table before checking P&P Commercial Construction plan-reading guidance.
