For earthworks, it can refer to the volume either before native material is disturbed by excavation, or after placement and compaction is complete. A percentage is typically added to neat volume to estimate loose (i.e. uncompacted) volumes for procurement purposes. With concrete work, neat volume is calculated assuming there is no bowing in the formwork or for cast-in-place concrete, that the surfaces in contact with the concrete have no voids or imperfections that would require a greater volume of concrete to fill. == References == - [[Wiki-Architecture/Infrastructure]] - [[Design/Building Typologies/Healthcare Architecture]] - [[Interior Architecture/Renovation and Conservation/Heritage Conservation]] - [[History and Theory/World History/Classical Architecture]] - [[Environmental Design/Natural Ventilation]] - [[Professional Practice/Codes & Standards/National Building Code of India]] - [[Environmental Design]] - [[Professional Practice/Codes & Standards/Standards Index]] - [[Professional Practice/Codes & Standards/National Building Code of India/Part 06 - Structural Design/Section 3A - Timber]] - [[Building Construction/Hill Architecture]]
