my bricklayers know me very well any block divide into two is automatically giving to me as bonus.

In Nigeria?

Nice thread

Good job, I like this. How many blocks will I need to get four rooms with a parlour?

ibietela2:


I don't know if it's 6 or 9 inches but it's going to be used for the main building.

Just want to know how many blocks 9 or 6 that can be gotten from a bag of cement

this is base on setting blocks, 9 inches blocks is 70 blocks to one bag of cement standard, strong and efficient missing with 15 head pan of sharp sand. 6inches block is 100 blocks to one bag.

nawa oooo, and i have spent almost 250k fencing a land of this measurement and i am yet to see the height of my fence.
daa lu

Thanks, i learnt alot.

And i was thinking 30 to 1 bag..... Thanks jare.

So 1 bag of cement will give me 100 pieces of blocks or 70 pieces RIGHT?

The Simplest Way To Calculate The Numbers Of Blocks U Need For Your Fence


The simplest way to calculate the numbers of blocks you need for your fence project, assuming you are fencing a land measuring 120 feet by 60 ft, a standard plot

This calculation is based on 9 inches block fence .
The measurement we are using is 120 ft (length) and since we have two lengths that is multiply by 2 which is 240 ft. (120 x 2) = 240

The breadth is 60 ft and also since we have 2 breadths that equal 120 ft (60 x 2) = 120
Then (240 + 120) that is 360 feet perimeter line fencing.

The calculation

(we are to convert this 360 feet to inches ) since a foot is 12 inches , now let us multiply 12 inches by 360 ft which is 4320 inches.

Now to get the line numbers of blocks that will go around the fence perimeters of 4320 inches or 360 feet, we would need to divide 4320 by 18 inches, since the length of any block be it 6 inches or 9 inches is 18inches.

Now 4320 inches divide by 18 inches is approximately 240 line of blocks , then we must multiply that by the numbers of coaches of blocks you want for your height, assuming 7 ft which is 9 coaches that means 240 multiply by 9 which is 2160 blocks and that is all you need anything aside from this is fake and fraud, this calculation is derive by me professionally and i have been using it without any mistake, but always remember to add 10 % of blocks to it because of broken blocks, and for this work, you only need 30 bags of cements, one bag of cement to 70 blocks, is standard.

for your pillars between the fence, let assume 6 blocks far from the next pillar, that means 6 divide by 240 which is 40 pillars, 1 bag of cement to 2 pillars standard, that is 17 bags plus 40 bags that is 47 bags is need by me to do this fence, if i'm in position and you should also to add 15 bags for floor blinding of the fence making 62 bags of cement.

Then, we need to minus the gate and the pillars that are also taking space in the fence.

The gate is 12 ft, let us assume the gate columns or pillars is 14 inches each, we have 2 pillars holding the gate, that is 28 inches or 2. 4 feet plus 12 feet that is 14.4 feet or approximately 15 feet.

Remember we already calculate the pillars that 40 pillars is need for the measurement.

Each pillar or column for 9 inches concrete is 9 inches square, 9 x 40 = 360 inches that is (30 feet + 15 feet = 45 feet ) / 18 inches = 30 blocks multiply by the number of coaches, 30 x 9 = 270 block minus 2160 blocks = 1890 blocks in total.

40 lengths of 12mm iron rod, since one pillar is equivalent to 1 length.

3 lengths of 16mm iron rod for the 2 big pillars holding the gate.

90 planks of soft wood for the framing.

1 truck of granite (granite would be use for the wall foundation and columns)

5 trucks of sharp sand

Thanks for the opportunity giving me to explain this simple arithmetic.

correct

yes absolutely

Thanks, i learnt alot.

you are welcome

Nice work op

I think he meant to lay (set) the 70 blocks, not to make (mould) the blocks...

yes

So you are the one dragging a QUANTITY SURVEYOR'S(Q.S) job with them? I need to to report you N.I.Q.S

HsLBroker:


The perimeter of this 13 acres is approximately 10, 900 ft in perimeter fencing, going by the calculation above, if you multiply this by 12 inches, so that it will be easy for us to divide it by the length of one block, we would have 10, 900 x 12 = 130, 800 inches, divide by 18 inches the length of one block i.e 130,800 / 18 = 7266 blocks x 5 coaches = 36, 330 Blocks.

2, 275 Blocks for the pillars (calculated, but no time to explain how i got that)

i.e (2, 275 blocks plus 36, 330 blocks) = (38, 605 blocks)

5% of this total blocks must be added to this blocks because of broken blocks and that is 1, 930 approximately 2, 000 blocks plus 38, 605 blocks equal to 40, 605 blocks.

N40 per blocks for bricklayers.

N20 per block for laborers

1000 blocks to 20 bags of cement.

800 bags of cement plus 120 bags for foundation flooring (920 bags of cement)


30 trips of sharp sand.

3 trips of 30 tonnes granite.

Water.

That is all.

Nice info

very helpful...

thank you so much for this information, please can you give overall estimate amount for the fencing in naira. thanks

Nice one bro.........keep up d good works

very educative

I love Nairaland....................

Gud info at d rite time. Pls I av a standard plot of 60 by 120 n I intend developing half of it(60 by 30) for residential purpose. Pls can a 3 bedroom flat, (each room en suite) kitchen, dining n sitting room comfortably sit on it considering Xtra space for car park ? D size dey fear me oooo.

Nice thread. If you prioritise owing a house it will surely come

Thanks Op!
But note:
1. There is standard 2inches gap btween 2 blocks.
2. I wil prefer P0P if am d owner dan buying planks; cost of plank + cost of carpentary work + cost of casting + cost of plastering d pillar > P.O.P dat wil do all.

sure it applies ,provided it is a bungalow

Thanks for the insight.
What abt the cost of flooring a pen for poultry use. material and labour cost for flooring a 40ft by 80ft pen.
