Good morning house! Plz help with a good estimate of Quantity of materials for doing the German floor and a Chain Lintel of a 3Bedroom all ensuite Bungalow measuring 42ft by 42ft. Plz I need Quantities only and not d Prizes of the materials. Thanks

for the German floor u need to give the building dimension and thickness of slab...

for the chain lintel I suggest is just a waste of materials just do the lintel to cover the opening and nothing more it as not structural value..

If u r till in need of it, send ur drawings to be on whatsapp on 09069193297

Ok. The house measures 42 ft by 42ft. The German floor will be 4 inches thick. As for the lintel; the house has 17 doors and 13 big Windows& four small windows( Rods and cement to cover only the openings). Tanx

using a mix ratio of 1:3:6 for the floor slab
cement 56bags
sharp sand 2 trip of 5 tonnes
granite 15 tonnes

big Windows I assume 1200by 1200 and the small windows 600 by 600
working on this

using rbar 12mm you need 23 pieces full length
17bags of cement
5tonnes of gravel
the left over sand for the floor will cast it..

same mix ratio

just multiply d cost of cement with the number of bags

Thanks. But I don't understand this mix ratio stuff. In our area , they use dis big paint bucket to measure sand ten buckets and gravel ten buckets per one bag of cement. Is it the same thing with 1:3:6?

I don't know how many headpan will fill that size of bucket u r talking about tell them u want it as 1:3:6 I should have quote 1;2;4 but I assume is a solid ground...

Like how many openings can one length of rod cover(ie for lintel)

You can simply use a bag of cement to measure it.


Fill the bucket with half a bag of cement, and note the level.

Then take 3 of that same buckets of sand filled to the same level as done with the cement
And 6 of that same buckets with aggregate.(male sure its the same level of the cement.


Thats a mix ratio of 1:3:6 (in buckets)
