To solve this we simply need to sum all the quantities up, this operation is well-known as addition.

We start with the initial quantity of two-foot panels which is 48. We then add the next quantity which is 2 end panels. Adding these together we get 50.

The next item is the fillers, and we have 6 of them. So, we add 6 to our previous total of 50, ending up with 56.

We continue by adding the 96 snap ties to our total, so 56 + 96 gives us 152.

The next thing to account for are the waler clamps, of which we have 192. We add the clamps to our existing total, getting us 152 + 192 = 344.

Next item is the 11 turnbuckles, adding to our total we have 344 + 11 which equals 355.

We then add our 21 chamfer strips to our overall total, this gives us 355 + 21 = 376.

Proceeding forward, we include the 384 wedge bolts, so 376 + 384 is 760.

The final item to be included in our item count is the 30 pieces of 2" x 4" x 16, so we add this to our total to get 760 + 30 = 790.

Therefore, you need a total of 790 pieces for your concrete job.
