Thanks sir,
I got his response too sir. Grateful.
However it seems that was for wall tiles only,
I am also looking for average per bag for floor tiles bearing in mind that the floor tiles will also have sharp sand.
Thanks sir.

This Things are average calculations, as a lot of factor can also Determine that. Also some tilers have different method of mixture.

Time and energy involved is rewarding when you see the final look of your job.

Steel.

So it Means when you add that to the 4inch Slab, you are looking at a thicker reinforcement than 6inch overall

Oga koning, here's alternative solution using I-section from ground up. And there's about 4in layer of concrete

What is holding he slab underneath ?

EgunMogaji:
But we should still look for alternatives, which I frankly think would be cheaper, such as the clay thingies you lectured on a few weeks ago.

Though I think the poster came in a bit hot but he has some valid points.

Maybe you, especially you, can spend some research time with him.

Here we have a homeowner who might want to find an alternative decking system and he just needs to liason with a builder who is willing to respond but with a well engineered and safe one.

We don't need a Ferrari to commute to work. A Kia Picanto will get it done, an analogy.

I am always with he school of taught that looking for cheaper alternatives that works is the best way to go. But my issue with @koning is not his desire for alternatives, but his inability to come to terms with the fact that no matter what means you wish to use in archiving your your structure, there are codes and processes that must be followed. Because something is done like this somewhere doesn't mean it will work somewhere else. There have to be steps taken from the foundation to ensure that it works. The one that baffled me is the fact that he sees a possibility of using 4inches thick slab for the deck. And ontop of his deck he will then use block works to partition his rooms and put a roof. Who knows he might them just put a parapet ontop.

If he feels 1.5m will do his slab. I wish him well. Lets see which slab collapses at the end. Wether u wan use labourers for free take work for ur house, we shall see. Let me not also jump into ideas sha. It's possible he has bought wood and other materials already sha.

May good lord bless the work of your hand.

Tell me, how do you intend to protect this balcony ?

The plan is not to cover the balcony at all. It has to open to the sky like a sit out. We will only just work out something to protect the exit door and that will be it.
