I will advise you to mould your blocks so that you can be sure of the quality of the blocks. Most of those selling blocks are only after their pocket, imagine using 1bag of cement to produce 100 blocks just for them to make more profit.

If you are moulding, you may get more blocks out of the process from each bag of cement but u need to be sure that both those mixing, and the moulders are competent. For U to mould you also need water on-site or close access to water. U must also be mindful of the season cos if it rains on the day u are moulding, u will be completely finished. Blocks buying helps if ur job needs to be done quickly and if u don't want to be cheated by workers who will claim they have moulded from some certain bags of cement but in reality haven't. It also saves u prayer points about rain and storage conditions of ur cement. But many bought blocks are not so strong cos it is made with the intention for profit, and some of them during delivery gets broken and may not be replaced...so go for what ur mind pleases, but if u are managing funds I will advise u mould, but ensure u monitor the job being done closely

I will suggest the followings based on experience

But blocks don't mould blocks, you can't stand their wahala because you don't have all the time

Before foundation, settle the people responsible for foundation and its possible there will be refreshments on that day

The boys working for you will keep making demands for water, ask one of them to get a bag if cold water for them

If you have some one handling the job, be on ground to watch what they are doing

If you want cement, get a near by cement store to buy your cement and be there when it will be delivered and use

If you are nit clever enough, they will do you the more you see the less you understand

Just get like 5/10 bags of cement, depending on what they need it for

Don't dig a bore hole yet because once you go home, those vagabonds will steal your pumping machine

Negotiate with the nearest house if the have water so that you can get water supply

Be friendly with the neighbours around because they are the one staying there before you and they will also advise you

When you need materials, ask your engineer the best products, buy them yourself and let him charge you for workmanship

Don't be hard on them and don't be too soft on them

The best time for build especially laying blocks and plastering is from September till March

Lastly, if it will cost you 200k yo do anything, add extra 50k because prices changes without notice

Op dont follow this man, never throw your blocks, it will scatter like a pack of cards

Good day all. For sb novice in building, which will you suggest (checking cost, and durability), which is better: buying blocks or molding it by oneself?
.
Please I also need opinions on what to do to afford thugs causing me problems on site.

Molded blocks are better and stronger.
The people selling already made blocks by addind less cement to sand.

That's how they make profit.

Buying from good industry esp with stone dust

adatkeg:
Molding block is cheaper than buying blocks..
If u buy sharp sand for 28k and cement the molder will collect 900# per bag of cement.

You are a good planner. Are you married yet?

Best advice

I didn't throw them down literally, I dropped them from a Peugeot pick up van, I'm sure you know that van isn't tall and the soil was sandy. Only very few broke bro, for my workers to commend the quality of the blocks is enough attestation.
