You'll actually need more than even 40 bags (budget for 60 bags if it's foundation is not done yet) .... The bricklayer underestimated and the 150k is cheap.. Very cheap.

Goodluck

40bags to lay 2430 blocks for a fence? I've placed 1200 blocks for my fence and I've used just 14 bags so far.. Will mold more blocks cos it's just 8coach and I want to complete it to 10coaches... So basically, 28 to 34 bags will be enough for him depending on how it's being used

Good morning All

Please, how many blocks will one bag of cement set?

I am doing my fence now on an uncompleted building i just bought and the bricklayer is saying i need 34 bags of cement for 2430 blocks?

Is this too much?

also, is there a method of calculating pay for bricklayers? he is charging me 150k for the entire fence - 2430 blocks.

I need advice please

The number of cement he quoted is a bit fair, you can buy 20bags first and the rest later cos when they see the total cement they requested on ground, they will want to use it anyhow cos they feel money is surplus... Meanwhile, 150k for the entire fence is cheap oh... I paid 54k per day (6k for workman and 3k for service)....so basically 9k for a 100blocks

You're responding to his question only, while I'm looking at the process involved.

Wld he lay the blocks without casting a foundation?

I stated clearly in the post you replied that, THAT IS IF the foundation is not done.

Goodluck

It has already been done and installed quite a while ago

Then kindly stick to his advice.

Reduce the capacity of the tank, if its overloaded, you'll lose both the scaffold and the tank.... And that's another money ooh.. At that time it won't be his fault.

Another option is sell that one and build another to the capacity you want.


Goodluck.

The fact you used 14 bags for 1200 blocks doesn't make it a standard..

Is there 5inches block? For the fencing, we used 9inches for the foundation then 6inches above the foundation.
I've seen a house being built with 4 inch blocks.

If I'm not mistaken, I believe he mentioned they're 90 x 180, so that should be 90cm x 180cm = 0.9m x 1.8m = 1.62sqm.

How do u chart a land please?

You can engage a surveyor or you apply for charting information at the office of the state surveyor general. 08069018449

Basically, the Surveyor will pick the coordinates of the land and chart it on the base map of the state to know if theland is govt acquisition land or not.
