What happens here

The next step in the physical construction is to lay road base filter fabric over the prepared subbase. This fabric (also known as geotextile) is essential for separating the subbase from the new aggregate material, preventing them from mixing and maintaining the integrity of the parking lot. For estimation, calculate the total square footage of the area using the dimensions determined in Step 2: 210 lineal feet x 105 lineal feet = 22,050 square feet. This square footage is then used to determine the number of rolls of filter fabric required. If each roll provides 2,205 square feet of coverage (as implied by 10 rolls for 22,050 sq ft), then 10 rolls would be needed. Price out the cost per roll, which in this example is $175 per roll, leading to a material cost of $1,750 for the fabric.

Goal: Determine the quantity and cost of road base filter fabric.

take 15 well then we you know we may want to uh take their proposal and knock it down a little bit and save them some money second step is we're going to lay roadbase fabric down because this is a parking lot you've seen me do the road based fabric on patios this is where it actually applies this is how we prep these Lots we don't do a soil correction when we come into these things we just just lay the fabric down we got to determine the area I measured the area 210 linear feet this way 105 linear feet across so we know how many square feet we have which converts to square yards which is how we buy Road based material we lay that down and then we bring in class five and I'm going to go over the formula with with you on that back at the office all right
