The size of the soak away pit is 10ft deep and 12 x 6 in Length and breadth. I can not categorically say this is what I spent on block setting as it was done with the normal job of sitting the building blocks. As a matter of fact, it collapsed as a result of not back filling it and yet storing water in it.

Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by QSFemi(m): 9:52pm On Mar 05, 2020
You need to provide more specific information like height of the fence and by acre what's the area of the land?

Now, answering the question bases in the following assumptions:

1 acre = 4,046 sqm (standard area)
Now, we can get the length and breadth of the land from this area, 4,046sqm

Let the land be square in shape, that means both the length and breadth are equal.

Hence Length = Breadth = 63.61metres

That means the perimeter of the land
= 4 * 63.61 = 254.44metres

Now, assuming you've 2 courses of blockwall in the foundation and 8 courses of blockwall as the height,

Hence the total height of the fence is 10 courses which is approximately 2.50m.

Therefore total area for the blockwall = 254.44 * 2.5 = 636.1 sqm

Let's assume that the length of the gate is 3.60m (main gate) and 1.20m (pedestrian gate), that means total length = 3.6 +1.2 = 4.80m

Thus, area of the gate equals 4.8 * 2.1 (height of fence above ground level) = 10.08 sqm

Net area of blockwall = 636.10 - 10.08 = 626.02sqm

Total number of blocks = 626.02 * 10 = 6260 blocks.

That's from a sound quantity surveyor.

Good evening.

If my input is not too late, I would like to proffer the solution.

Although you didn't state your concrete mix ratio and location if the job so as to the price of materials there, I'll still do my best.

Being an oversite concrete (commonly called German Floor), I want to assume the [b]concrete mix ratio to be 1:2:4 [/b]because it's like to be reinforced with BRC WIRE MESH.

Hence, volume of concrete = 300 * 0.1 = 30 cubic metres.
Thus; Cement equals 30 * 6 = 180 bags (50kg per bag)
Sand equals 30 * 0.44 * 1.58 *1.2 = 25 tons approximately (including wastages)
Granite equals 30 * 0.88 * 1.33 *1.2 = 42 tons approximately (including wastages)

If you also need cost of labour, quite this answer.
