Wait a second though. . . I don't believe this N4.5 billion/month figure he says. That is 250K workers. And I highly doubt that Niger State has anywhere near that # of workers on its payroll.

States do not use all their monthly allocation to pay salary. Niger State get N2.5 billion monthly from the Federal Government. Out of this, they would also have to plan for capital expenditure which include building good roads, schools,hospitals, housing e.t.c This should take the larger portion of their monthly revenue.

@Jungle007
(I like this your name sha! …Naija don get im own James bond!)
For the 969SF (square feet) of floor for instance, you will now require:

For 4 inch thickness:
- 38 Bags of Cement, make it 40 Bags
- 5700kg of Sand, make it 6 tons of Sand
- 11400kg of Crushed Stone, make it 12 tons of crushed stone ( 3/4 inch size)
- 266 gallons of Water

How much could you really save?? Let us find out and calculate:

Originally, for 4 inch thickness and for pure 1:3:3 formula, You were going to use the following:
53 Bags of Cement X N1800.00 = N95,400.00
8 tons of Sand X N2400.00/ton = N19,200.00
8 tons of Crushed Stone X N4200/ton = N33,600.00
370 Gallons of Water X N0.00 = N0.00 (I assume you have a well or borehole)
TOTAL MATERIAL COST (1:3:3 Mix) = N148,200.00

On the other hand, if we use the 1:3:6 formula as a filler, then we will use:
40 bags of Cement X N1800.00 = N72,000.00
6 tons of Sand X N2400.00/ton = N14,400.00
12 tons of Crushed Stone X N4200/ton = N50,400.00
266 Gallons of Water (once again uncharged)
TOTAL MATERIAL COST (1:3:6 ) = N136,800.00

CONCLUSION:
The savings amount to a total of N11,400.00!!
It is also important to remember that you only apply the 1:3:6 mix for ¾ of the floor thickness (first 3 inches), the last ¼ thickness must be finished in 1:3:3 mix! These further reduces the savings to something in the neighbourhood of N8,800.00 only! The savings achieved by using less cement is quickly chewed up by the higher cost of crushed stone aggregates!

When one considers the slower construction speed and aggravation caused by the use of two different mixes for one job – N8,800.00 is hardly worth the effort and the aggravation! And you will probably also have the added bonus of happier construction workers too!
My advice?? - Stick with the 1:3:3 mix formula and live longer!

Thanks a lot Midas, I think i will stick with the 1.3.3 mix ratio. God bless you.

@Jungle007,
I will start from the least – which is 3 inches. I advise against 3 inch!(it is tricky and requires the right conditions!) The least recommended thickness is 4 inches otherwise you run a very high risk of cracking the floor under load or pressure unless you use wire mesh reinforcement or something. However, since it is your project and I do not know what you want to use it for, I will go ahead and give it to you. In achieving a 3000psi concrete mix strength, I have calculated the following figures for your enquiry:

For 3 inch thickness on 969SF (square feet) you will need:
- 40 Bags Cement
- 6 tons (6000kg) of Sand
- 6 tons (6000kg) of Crushed Stone (popularly called granite)
- 280 gallons of Water

For 4 inch thickness on 969SF (square feet) you will need:
- 53 Bags of Cement
- 8 tons (8000kg) of Sand
- 8 tons (8000kg) of Crushed Stone (popularly called granite)
- 370 gallons of Water

For 6 inch thickness on 2207SF (square feet) you will need:
- 180 Bags of Cement
- 27 tons of Sand
- 27 tons of Aggregate or Crushed Stone
- 1260 Gallons of Water

I will also go ahead and recommend that you should always purchase 10% more cement and material than you need for any project. This is the standard margin that takes care of unexpected shortcomings, loss and inaccuracies that may arise. I wish you the best of luck in your project.

Thanks you very much. God bless you. I was thinking that 3 inch thickness should ok for bungalow and for 1 story building 6 inches is ideal.

This is one of the best threads on Nairaland. Keep it Up guys especially Spyder880 for opening up this thread and AM ALONE & others for their insightful contributions.

@Midas02 – I am taking you up on your offer. I would like to know how much materials e.g Cement, Sand, Granite and water, would be needed to complete a german floor of the following area and thickness.

a. Area – 2207square foot , thickness 6 inches
b. Area – 969 square foot, thickness 4 inches
c. Area – 969 square foot, thickness 3 inches

This will be based on concrete strength of 3000 psi formula.
