Figuring out concrete for veranda posts

Each veranda post is 150 x 150mm square.
They need to go into the ground about 800mm.
The holes need to be 450mm diameter.
However, the top 150mm of the hole will be 600mm diameter to act as a footing for the stone plinths that will be around each post.

600mm dia = 0.2827 area

600mm dia x 150mm deep = 0.04241 area

100 x 100 x 1m = 0.01 area

150 * 150 = 0.0225 area

450mm dia = 0.159 area

450mm dia x 850mm deep = 0.135 cubic meters

450mm dia x 850mm deep + 600mm dia x 150mm deep – 150x150x1m = 0.155
so 18 holes = 2.79 cubic meters concrete
