Gud morning here, make ur windows casement embedded with. Burglaries easy,by (adedward ) we provide u, any sizes of ur windows and design s , just add adedward today on ur washap , 08135810794, or call to this line ,08107201532 ,

how do you guys do this calculation?
is there a software or you do manually?

How do you correct for the different sand densities and settlement?

Thanks

saydfact:


using your size of 30 x 120 ft @ 1ft height

YOU'LL NEED APPROX 91.5 TONNES OF FILLING SAND
OR
176 TONNES OF CLAY

lets round it up to 95 tonnes (filling sand); 20 tonnes cost about 40K (find out price in your zone)

= 190k (compacting was not considered)

(repeat for clay if needed)

Goodluck

Hargbo:

You will need about 104tonnes of Laterite sand..

So.you need to know how much they will deliver 30tonnes of long trailer for you. So just buy 4 long trailers..

The one I bought last was 12tonnes trailer @18thousand each
That means you will need about Nine 12tonnes trailer @18k
That's about 162 thousand naira to feel half plot of land 1foot above the ground level

Others should calculate and let's compare notes

What density did you use for Filling sand and clay respectively

GoodFaith:


The price is crazy

You said you spent 112k on materials and labour ...but he is offering the Thailand tap and head for about 35k.
Am I missing something here?

Or is yours more than one set?

Calculate the volume of space you need to fill in cubic meter.
Length - 120ft = 36.576m
Width - 30ft = 9.144m
Height - 1ft = 0.3048m

VOLUME = 36.576m × 9.144m × 0.3048m = 101.94m³

Now we know the volume of void we need to fill, we know to the mass(weight) that can fill that void.

Density of Laterite is 1 019 kg/m³

Mass = volume × density
= 101.94 × 1019
= 103876.86kg
= 103.876 tonnes

The tonnes is dependent on the density of the material you are using for filling

Also, include transportation cost to Chevron toll gate Lekki axis.

Mgbadike80:
using 0.45 thick longspan aluminum roofing sheets instead of 0.55 due to financial constraints, any disadvantages?

Yes.

These days, the thickness of the 0.45mm gauge is nothing to write home about.

There is a 0.50mm gauge that has been introduced. If you don't have money for 0.55mm, use 0.50mm.

Although some companies have good 0.45mm but it's costlier than those they sell for 1200 or 1250.

fabulous85:
hello, I was about starting the roofing of my house, I made arrangements to go to the timber shed to buy wood then the lock down in kaduna started because of the corona virus. I pray the price of stone coat roofing sheet and wood will not increase after this pandemic

I remember you. Its great news you are about to start. But I honestly do not think prices will be affected significantly or at all.

Hargbo:


What density did you use for Filling sand and clay respectively

0.831 and 1.6

And I used 330mm for 1 feet and approx to nearest divisible by 5... To accommodate waste

This is a very helpful calculation and professionally done. However, please do not encourage the introduction of CLAY to any building site. This is poor practice. Clay is a very poor soil quality which often times than not is responsible for cracks in building without expensive due diligence regarding the foundation.

We don't know what the poster wants to use the land for but I will encourage laterite all through. No clay please.

Hargbo:

Length - 120ft = 36.576m

Very correct, but you need to factor in SHRINKAGE which is 0.89 for sharp sand plus waste also.

More so as Chekitout said most suppliers will still supply you less at site.
That is why most people in Nigeria go for batching by volume of materials to get good result at site.

Batching of materials by weight here in Nigeria supplier will fail you if care is not taking bcs Actual tonnage will not be supplied ( site experience)

By weight is the best to give accurate calculation of the materials (but most people don’t have time for this here in Nigeria)

Even by volume at time the labour will measured the head pan full at time and some times it will not (the result will become thumb rules result, really it’s not bad ..it usually give approx.result

But this thumb rules can’t eliminate real calculation
Site and practical experience count so much.
So also calculation is very essential
Without any of these you can’t get your boq right.

Good luck to all professionals and home owners

You said you spent 112k on materials and labour ...but he is offering the Thailand tap and head for about 35k.
Am I missing something here?

Or is yours more than one set?

Yes, you are missing lot of stuff
Product is America
US dollars, and US labor
35k = $100, No labor
35k for Thailand tap and head for about 35k in Nigeria is just too high

GoodFaith:

35k for Thailand tap and head for about 35k in Nigeria is just too high

Is like you didn’t get what I mean
The complete set which comprises of the shower head, the control engine, the mouth tap,
3-in 1) cost 35k.
Mean while product and quality determine the price.
For example must product you get in USA is either Delta,Chicago, moen, and when you compare the price with here plus shipping you will see that the price here are ok.

Before here when we have top brand in the world in mkt am talking about 15yrs back, although only few are available now and very expensive
Like before when we have

Twyford genuine( England.)
Kohler.
Grohe gGermany)
Roca (Spain)
Jaquar (India)
Armitage shank
Ideal standard
Euro
And many more.Delta brand quality is same as Thailand made or Turkish made
All these brand doesn’t get spoiled easily
They can last you 30yrs plus
Even this used imported (tokunbo) of it can last you 10-15yrs.
China can only last you 1-5yrs (new)

This remind me a member here about 6yrs ago I told him this mixer but genuine twyford make for 57k he said Rotech it’s too much he promised me to get cheaper from England before I knew it he called his uncle and the reply I got back was that Rotech pls bring 4sets, and I knew from beginning when he said he will get that from uk that he can’t get it cheaper since he will send it through air.

All these brand are very expensive range from35-100k per set of shower.

Presently most suppliers done even know this type only few guys knows this.
If all these are very expensive then China is there label England or Germany for lesser price

Reason why I do explain deeply and the truth to anybody that asked me to supply any product to him or her, it’s now left for the person decides.

I do tell people forget about name you see on products we know the genuine one which is very few in the mkt presently

To open it more for you members
For example
.Any pumping machine submersible 1hp lesser than 70-80 is not European make. ( although those good China will still perform the magic o)

Let me just stop here for now

Fantastic! This will work to get a fair idea.

Please, what is the density of sharp sand (i assume it's different from laterite)?

Thanks

Did I tell you I was going to ship it
I spend fairly good time in stores, my lunch break
I have not done any major project for over a year now

I really want to get three more deal done
Looking forward to what God will do next year

Good day All
It’s a pity that this section of Nairaland (property section) is not as its before why?
We are missing some guru here range from
Architects
Builders
Engr’s
QSs
Clients
Suppliers
Etc
Which there wealth of experience in build industry make this section one of the best on Nairaland

Actually I know what make some of them keep quiet this day is just because some are label names which is not that so aspected by them and many more like that.

What we do we see this days mostly is non professional advise which in turn do give some home base bad names bcs for example some who has not visited site ones in his life or know anything about building will be give building quote to non home base person and later a professional give advise or quote the next thing we will see is that the quote is TOO HIGH,
so many thing like that pls is too annoying why because some of you guru has ran away from here.

If all ran away who will make the this section great again pls that is why I will mention some names here to pls come back again and let’s rebuild this Nairaland as a whole

Pls I will like you people to ponder deeply and come back here and make this section great again

If your name is not mentioned don’t think you are left outside this issue, you cant hide I will surely dig you out and include your name later

Hello Mr. Rotecch77,

I am just seeing this comment of yours now simply because you didn't mention my moniker correctly (olumide4christ). I just stumbled on it while doing some research.
I still dey here kampe...its just that the way Nairaland property section was just discouraged me a bit from being active in commenting. I have been active in commenting on some other sections, though. Nice to see that you are all doing well. I am always available to lend my voice to any questions people may have.
Nice to be here again after a very long while.
