A milestone in a Gantt chart becomes physical mass, a delivery window and a truck count.

volume = 5,000 m² × 0.150 m = 750 m³
mass = volume × 2.24 t/m³ (density, CBR45 Road Base)
compacted = mass × 1.08 (compaction allowance) = 1,814 t
mass = volume × 2.24 t/m³ (density, CBR45 Road Base)
compacted = mass × 1.08 (compaction allowance) = 1,814 t

No builder, no project, no address: just the mass, the sector and the window the fleet needs in order to plan.
