You have to know how deep the foundation is. Multiply the depth of the foundation in feet by the area of the foundation in square feet. That gives you the volume of the foundation in cubic feet. Divide that answer by 27 (there are 3 feet in a yard, 9 square feet in a square yard, and 27 cubic feet in a cubic yard) to get the answer expressed in cubic yards.

nope! but i can make a stab at it! assuming the standard ceiling height of 8 feet throughout the house? we multiply 3488 by 8, to get 27904, and the foundation should be the same as the square footage
then divide by 9 to get cubic yards, why? ya filling a big house with cement?

Giving the area still begs the question of what the depth measurement is, so no, you can't immediately determine the volume from an area. But IF your foundation is rectangular, and has a floor area of 3488, then multiply the floor area by the height of the foundation concrete.

Do you mean square yards? If you do the the number of square yards would be 3488/9=387.55 yd^2.

Cubic feet is volume, you would need to know the height
