The volume in cubic metres.
A cubic metre is about 1.31 cubic yards, so a metric volume always converts to a larger yardage figure.
Volume
13.08 yd³
1 m³ = 1.307951 yd³, from 1 yd = 0.9144 m exactly. A cubic metre is 1.31 cubic yards — treating them as equal understates an order by nearly a third.
- Conversion factor applied
- 1.31 yd³ per m³

Concrete and aggregate specified in cubic metres and ordered in North America needs this conversion, and the gap between the two units is large enough to matter badly if ignored: a cubic metre is just over 1.3 cubic yards, so treating the numbers as interchangeable leaves an order nearly a third short. Supplier minimums and mixer capacities are set in whichever unit the local market uses, which is worth checking when a specification arrives in the other. For excavation the conversion holds, but bear in mind that in-situ and loose volumes differ through bulking regardless of the units involved.
