✓20 tons of sharp sand/ two load of sharp sand

Did you do blinding on your foundation trench before laying the blocks?

If Yes, how many inches?

If No, what ratio did you use for laying the first course ?

What's the nature of the land ?

Your questions are funny but honestly speaking, I've been expecting these questions from the house cos the foundation is not too deep no columns and pillars to hold the long walls.So here's the answers
✓The first step after pegging and digging of the foundation is blinding.
✓Secondly,the inches of the blinding depends on the levels of the land.(I can't say more than that).
✓The top land is loamy soil while beneath it is Clay soil.more important, I never see a crack house ever since I've been working here so I conclude the land is good.

It's not a funny question because it looks like there's no blinding and that's why I asked.
Moreso some people will do screeding and still call it blinding.
Be it you use columns or not the house will not fall as long as your block wall locks are in order.


Inches of blinding don't depend on land level because it's expecting you have a single profile and run it. If a proper excavation is done then it will be in order. In instances where there are uneven excavation level there are other ways to go about achieving the work.

Well let me give you this hint,base on estimate and calculation,1bag of cement suppose lay 100 block[


U can't use 1 bag of cement to suck 120 six inches,it is below standard.

Great work Mr. Builder. I have a bungalow built to lintel and was thinking of using the flat roofing design because of scarcity of funds. However, with the estimates you posted, please in terms of woodwork will one spend far lesser on woodwork than if it was the normal raised roofing? Thank you.

Flat roof costs less. Like this project,we budgeted only 250k for both woodwork and zinc.workmanship fees excluded.
