Good morning All

Please, how many blocks will one bag of cement set?

I am doing my fence now on an uncompleted building i just bought and the bricklayer is saying i need 34 bags of cement for 2430 blocks?

Is this too much?

also, is there a method of calculating pay for bricklayers? he is charging me 150k for the entire fence - 2430 blocks.

I need advice please

Check my thread, I have a post on estimating fence cost.

You'll actually need more than even 40 bags (budget for 60 bags if it's foundation is not done yet) .... The bricklayer underestimated and the 150k is cheap.. Very cheap.

Goodluck

lexini:
thank you bro.

do you think the labour cost of 150k is ok?


I've seen a couple of people telling you 150k is okay for the work... I agree because they're only considering the block laying @N50 or N60. = about 145k for block laying only.

But in real sence, there is digging of foundation, and casting of blinding before the actual block laying...

You see why I think 150k was cheap?

My advice wld be don't negotiate down.. Pay him and make him happy.

Ditto for cement too to foundation.

Goodluck

Your architect is right.
You need pillars in your house for rigidity.
The concrete floor helps you prevent future dampness.

Good evening Michlins your advice is needed please...

I already have 2100L tank at the site and intend to buy another 2100L to place on the stand...

So, here is the issue, I totally forgot to give the welder this information, only to remember this evening. To cut the long story short, he said the stand can't carry 2 of 2100L except 2 of 1500L at the top and that it can only carry 2100L in the middle... I asked him why and he said cos he is using 2m galvanized pipe whatever and we've already agreed on price @350... 200k has already been paid so please, what can be done now?

Note: we never discussed about what materials to be used cos I know nothing about it, I just told him that I needed an 18ft tank stand and he sent me the pictures below

Send the picture of what he's doing for you.

Goodluck

The bolded is dependent on the soil type. And the water level of that area. Although it's best practice to do it the dpc with dpm.
