I love the colour combination, well done Boss...

I want to plaster the walls of the 3 bedroom bungalow measuring 39ft by 49ft.. Please what will be the total sqm and how many bags of cement will I need for plastering and later on screeding? Below is the sample design.

Please I need your response, thank you so much.

What is the height of the building …. I believed you only measured “L” shape of the building
Does the building have recess wall ?

I think Sonnie10 can help you with the calculation.
He is good in mathematical estimation but you need to include the height of the building.

Consult Sonnie10.

Okay,

Thank you Sir...

Yes, only the L shape was measured and there are no recess walls. The length of the building hasn't been measured, but there are 13 blocks coaches high if counted. The building has equal sides.

With hight of 3.3m and others measurement you send you will used

20 bags @ 20mm thickness, ratio 1:6
OR
12 bags @ 12mm thickness . ratio 1:6

You don’t need to add waste here bcs your widow and door opening will cover that

You are very correct, bravo you …. if you try manage your waste very well with 25mm joint … you can achieve like 60 blocks or so

Good day house,

Pls how many coaches of blocks is better after lintel for a storey building? Is it the normal 2 blocks coaches or 3 coaches of blocks before decking? Also in standard, how many bags of cement will do for casting of 16pillars of 9" inches columns.

I prefer a minimum of three coaches but with the way POP designing is now being implemented, I will go for four coaches for a good headroom/tall ceiling. This gives the built a grand sense of optical space and elegance.

For a good and appropriate height use 2 blocks course plus the beam under slab making the height 3….. which mean from lintel top you will have about 2.5ft which is ok

Same height was used here and after Pop ceiling I still have adequate room height ( pics attached)

For the column you asked if you are using
Ratio 1:2:4 you will need 1.5 approx bag of cement
Means the total 16 pillar will be 16*1.5bags =24bags
Add waste like 2bags or so… =26bags of cement

(1) You must not pass through your living room or dinning before you enter your lobby to your bedrooms. I wouldn't want every guest to determine who I accommodate by mere visit neither will I enjoy to-and-fro transit of individuals when I eat in the dinning. That's just me please.

(2) When I am in your living room, I should only have access to the lobby leading to the bedrooms through a door in the ante-room (waiting room)........The only access I should have from your dinning to your lobby should be through your kitchen.

I see houses that have anteroom directly leading to living room and dinning and straight to lobby and bedrooms as archaic or 'old fashioned'. That's my opinion please, sorry if it offends you.

Thank you.

You are right bro.

I also have a question regarding the idea of a masters bedroom having a private entrance and porch. Based on your personal experience or mere hypothesis, do you think it is a necessity?

Example below.

The wall needs to be measured, to get the total Sqm. Once the total Sqm is known, it's easy to know the amount of materials you'd need.


Where is your Site located?

You can get the measurement from the architectural drawings.

The answer you seek depends on the location of your site, ground conditions of the site, type of design, method of procurement, duration of construction (unpredictable inflationary trend) among other factors.

How much should i budget for a very standard 3 bed with all rooms ensuite in an estate owned land.
Fencing would be the short estate accepted fence.

Example below.

It is very much okay to have a Masters bedroom with the arrangements you mentioned. The only problem is that it requires you to spend extra for 1 additional exit door Instead of the usual 2 doors exit for a bungalow. Thank you.
