BITSWORKS: I too have sloping gradient which brings me to a question. In your example above you are setting 5 coaches on one side and 6 on the other. Is there a point where it becomes unsafe? For example can I do 5 on one side and 7 or 8 or 9 on another side? If it's unsafe then what is the proper solution? Thanks. |

We casted the german floor on over a period of 2 days, Thursday 20th and Friday 21st August. We used 3 labours for dumping, 3 mixers, 3 materials carriers and 3 bricklayers(one of them was actually supervising the work because I was in Ogbomosho). We didn't use a mixing machine (saving cost measures for the client on a tight budget) and that's one of the reason it took us 2 days to cast the german floor. We used a total of 100 bags of cement, 30 tons of coarse aggregate(granite) and 3 trips of 10 tons of fine aggregate(sharp sand).

BITSWORKS: Won't the cost saved in hiring concrete mixer not be lost in hiring labour for two days and manual mixing of concrete? 3 Likes |

BITSWORKS: I thought that the floor had to be casted in one go. |

@Babs612000, let me get down to answering your questions, quite a handful but I will lump it all together. 1. Size of the german floor is 27.9m X 9.1m (91.54ft X 29.85ft) 2. The width (thickness of the oversite concrete slab) used for the german floor is 100mm (4inches) 3. Total cost breakdon is as follows: A. 100 bags of dangote cement (@N1850) - N185,000 B. 3 trips of 10 tons sharp sand (@N25,000) - N75,000 C. 1 trip of 20 tons 3/4 down granite - N100,000 (we had like 10 tons leftover from the foundation works) D. Labour - N90,000 Prices for the granite and sharp sand might vary depending on your location and how the project is being executed. 2 Likes |

BITSWORKS: Thank you so much for doing this. Are there any other fees involved? For example is your fee included in the labour? I'm going to be doing an 80x50 slab and I love these your price compared to some of the quotes that I've been getting. You've given me great joy this afternoon financially. 2 Likes |

We started the blockwork on Friday 28th of August and from our projections, we should be done in 7 days going at the rate of 4 coaches per day. From our blocks estimate calculation, we will be using 2000 blocks or a little bit more due to wastages. 1 Like
