good morning all

please i have this project i want to start.
but i wish to know if molding blocks myself or buying will be cheaper.
2. how many blocks can i get out of 1 trip of sand.
3. which type of sand is better for block molding.

thanks

d one I used was molded and its advisable cos those bought ones are not strong.

a bag of cement produces up to 60 blocks ,but I asked them to mould 35 ,it dries up in minutes and hard to break.but I can't really tell the trip of sand.just buy sand and focus on the bags of cement.

I am a builder and I stand with the advice on your post to mould cos its best controlled on the soloidity on the block based on the quantity you want per bag

Thanks all.I will do as advised.maybe I will do 35 to 40 per bag.please I still need to know how many blocks a trip of sand will mould assuming all things remain cpnstant.thanks you

Well the size and nature of the project will determine if moulding the blocks yourself will be better or not.
From your post I can see you are looking for cheap blocks. But note, the cheaper the block the lower the quality and strength.


Black man will build with cheap inferior blocks and blame the building collapse on innocent witches and wizards in the village.

My brother, i'm doing eight room self-contain and i tell ya, i dont waste my money buying block. I pay 4 cements and sand and a moulder to mould block 4 me. And trust me itz cheaper.

moulding is better...u could tell them how many blocks you want per bag.... i think 28 to 30 blocks per bag is preferable if you want solid blocks!
Just know this the lesser the blocks per bag the harder the block would be!

passing by

Molding is the best. A trip of sand goes with 8 bags of cement when molding 35 blocks per bag.

Molding your own blocks gives you cost effectiveness and reliability of products

kudos to the mod who brought this to frontpage

Since I am neither a bricklayer, a building contractor nor a house owner, I have nothing valuable to contribute.



But let me spread my mat here

As they say... No knowledge is wasted

May God give you brain to think of something to write next time IJN

Mould urself (that is, the bricklayers would mould under your supervision), that's if you have all that time to monitor them.
If not, it would still be similar to the one they would in their block industries...lol.
