Experts in the house,
Please I need help and advice here. Here is my situation. I am in diaspora building a block of 2 bedroom flats, 2 down and 2 up
So am currently on the beam and first floor slab of my 4 units of 2 bedroom flats in port Harcourt. At this point the engineer has used 226 bags of cement to do the staircase, beams and one of the two flats on the ground floor, the other flat will be done today which I think may take another 90 bags of cement, so in total I am looking at around 312 bags of cement. My worry is that is that I think so much bags of cement has gone into the slab and beam. The mix ratio he is using is 1:2:3 according to him. I bag of cement, 2 wheelbarrow of sand and 3 wheelbarrow of granite. Is this acceptable, what your advice. The area of slab is 288m2 and I have currently spent up to 3.6 million naira.
