raymondFirstborn:


assuming he made use of the standard 1:2:4 ratio, i tell you 312bags is not on the high side for a 288sqm building.Making use of 6bags/cum .

Casting of beam, staircase & decking.

To cast decking(150mm thick) without beams & staircase you would need approximately 254bags.

for the floor beams we should be looking at 230 x 450mm beams.
so with beams & staircase inclusive@312bags its okay.

so 312bags if what your engineer is refering too is 1:2:4,then it is standard.

But if he its 1:2:3 he might as also not be wrong.You should find out why he is using 1:2:3 instead of 1:2:4.

Your analysis is great but a bit theoretical, if the floor is adequately reinforced, the volume of reinforcement should also be deducted from the overall volume you get. Also remember that at 6 bags per cubic meter for 1:2;4 is achievable at maximum compaction. Like I said the qty the guy used is a "bit" high no that it is crazily high. Such a Job should be delivered btw 280-300 bag max.

Judging by your parameters one can say such could still be achieved using 260 sound bags of cement.

Professionals in the house. Please help me look at this quote for my 4 bed room duplex and a BQ at the back.

Quotation for plastering:

1. 6 loads of plastering sands=40,000*6=240,000

2. 1 load of sharp sand= 48,000

3. 130 bags of cement 338,000

4. 50 nos of Bamboo 15,000

5. 1 bundle of bbwire 8,500

6. Labour 729,000

my concern generally is about labour which is almost more than the cost of material its self

Somebody is ready to pick your pocket
Lot of money
40K for sand---Please check the price

Has there been any significant change in prices of building materials lately? Like in the past few days or weeks.
I’m particular about cement and iron rods.
