Speak to the relevant concrete division/ give dimensions and in return they will give you the cubic meters needed / ask you what strength you want the concrete/give you slump options on how much workability you need the concrete and if needed they can also offer you retardant shall you not want the concrete to set to quickly. Hope this helps
