The simplest way to calculate the numbers of blocks you need for your fence project, assuming you are fencing a land measuring 120 feet by 60 ft, a standard plot

This calculation is based on 9 inches block fence .
The measurement we are using is 120 ft (length) and since we have two lengths that is multiply by 2 which is 240 ft. (120 x 2) = 240

The breadth is 60 ft and also since we have 2 breadths that equal 120 ft (60 x 2) = 120
Then (240 + 120) that is 360 feet perimeter line fencing.

The calculation

(we are to convert this 360 feet to inches ) since a foot is 12 inches , now let us multiply 12 inches by 360 ft which is 4320 inches.

Now to get the line numbers of blocks that will go around the fence perimeters of 4320 inches or 360 feet, we would need to divide 4320 by 18 inches, since the length of any block be it 6 inches or 9 inches is 18inches.

Now 4320 inches divide by 18 inches is approximately 240 line of blocks , then we must multiply that by the numbers of coaches of blocks you want for your height, assuming 7 ft which is 9 coaches that means 240 multiply by 9 which is 2160 blocks and that is all you need anything aside from this is fake and fraud, this calculation is derive by me professionally and i have been using it without any mistake, but always remember to add 10 % of blocks to it because of broken blocks, and for this work, you only need 30 bags of cements, one bag of cement to 70 blocks, is standard.

for your pillars between the fence, let assume 6 blocks far from the next pillar, that means 6 divide by 240 which is 40 pillars, 1 bag of cement to 2 pillars standard, that is 17 bags plus 40 bags that is 47 bags is need by me to do this fence, if i'm in position and you should also to add 15 bags for floor blinding of the fence making 62 bags of cement.

Then, we need to minus the gate and the pillars that are also taking space in the fence.

The gate is 12 ft, let us assume the gate columns or pillars is 14 inches each, we have 2 pillars holding the gate, that is 28 inches or 2. 4 feet plus 12 feet that is 14.4 feet or approximately 15 feet.

Remember we already calculate the pillars that 40 pillars is need for the measurement.

Each pillar or column for 9 inches concrete is 9 inches square, 9 x 40 = 360 inches that is (30 feet + 15 feet = 45 feet ) / 18 inches = 30 blocks multiply by the number of coaches, 30 x 9 = 270 block minus 2160 blocks = 1890 blocks in total.

40 lengths of 12mm iron rod, since one pillar is equivalent to 1 length.

3 lengths of 16mm iron rod for the 2 big pillars holding the gate.

90 planks of soft wood for the framing.

1 truck of granite (granite would be use for the wall foundation and columns)

About 5 trips of Sharp Sand.

Regards.

Thanks for all

For me, very ok and appropriate. Nothing beats a high ceiling and a mix in of tall windows. That sense of grandeur with high ceilings is priceless.

Just don't implement a high ceiling concept and then spoil it all with PVC ceiling. High ceiling concept and POP are a match in heaven.

I chased this down a few years ago. It's almost like a closed shop of trade secrets.

There are many websites that help you convert geodetic datums (which Surveyors use) to lat/lon coordinates. I found out that Nigerian surveyors use the specific Minna datum (happy to be corrected!) and this link I ended up with, should do what you want.

https://epsg.io/transform#s_srs=26332&t_srs=4326&x=326432.0800000&y=1018652.7100000

You enter the input coordinates on one side and it shows the lat/lon coordinates on the other side. Even more useful, it can show you the location on a map.

Hope it helps.
Thank you very much sir. But I didn’t quite get it. What number should I enter under the input coordinates? Is it the number ending in mE and mN or the angles on each beacon points on the survey plan?

Please clear my doubts with an example if possible.

Yes. One of the beacons is usually identified as the reference for which these details are provided - usually in a box on the survey plan. As you know, all other beacons are determined relative to the reference beacon using the provided angles and distances, simple geometry.

The number with N goes into the Y-axis and the number with E goes into the X-axis. Click <<Transform>> and the lat/lon of this reference beacon should be calculated. Further click on the map option to see it on a map.

Hope it helps. Please note that I'm not a surveyor - i just happened to chase down this particular rabbit hole a while back and kept this knowledge filed away.

Iam bringing mine done from Base i already did the consideration im my build so it was implemented in the building and so there was no visble pipes. 2ndly i found out that the cabling was different fro the one being sold in Nigeria thank God we already thought ahead. The one i am bringing down have WIFI which means you can program them when and how you want them to RUN and with the Solar software i am using you can use SONOFF gadgets tto do IOT however you want it

Just as a matter of interest, did you finally get this installed?

I have been looking at the Midea multisplit systems and have not found any suppliers in Africa. Where did you procure yours from?
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by babadots: 2:40am On Dec 01, 2022
jabolo:


I am researching the multisplit options as I also abhor the clutter. Trouble is, the original building design ought to have considered it in the first place and hidden ducts can be provided for. It is difficult to retrofit into a completed building.

Having said that, we'll get there someday, so I would appreciate recommendations on the best vendors for multisplits in Nigeria.

Thanks in advance.



Any progress on this matter? I am looking too and would appreciate recommendations and/or referrals from this forum.

Thank you all

If he is the one providing all the materials, then it’s fair.
But if that amount is just for labor and supervision, then he thinks you are a minting machine.

Some years ago I travelled to go see one of my female friends in Warri and when we attended church together she introduced me to her Pastor who asked me which kind of house I was staying in and I said a One bed flat and his face changed and he was kind of quiet for a while and the female friend had to tell him it's a Self contain and it's been called a One bedroom flat in my area and he was smiling. What they call a Self contain is a Squatter or thereabout. I guess it's their own terminology.
