Estimating material requirement for the DPC @Sir EgunMogaji site.

I'm more comfortable using metres than feet. So, let's convert the building into metres.

Overall area of the building footprint
50' x 80' or 15m x 24m = 360m2

Overall area of the building footprint less the Courtyard
360m2 (Footprint) - 45m2 (Courtyard) = 315m2

Volume of Concrete required for the oversite
315m2 x 100mm (4in thickness) = 31.5m3

Assuming we are using 1:2:4 mix ratio



___________
Quantity of Cement required

For a 1:2:4 cement mixture, divide the volume (in this case 31.5m3) by 7 to get the resulting number of 4.5m3 of cement required for the project.

Therefore 4.5m3 / 0.035 = 128 bags of 50kg cement.

____________
Quantity of Sand required

For a 1:2:4 mix, divide the volume (in this case 31.5m3 by 7 to get 4.5m3 and multiply by 2 (which is the ratio of sand) to get 9m3 which is the quantity of sand required for the project.

To get tonnage, divide 9m3 by 0.654 which gives about 15tons. Allow for shortage, wastages while transporting/transferring sand and those sand that will be stucked in the mixer. Buy 20 full tons.

_____________
Quantity of Granite required

For a 1:2:4 mix, divide the volume (in this case 31.5m3 by 7 to get 4.5m3 and multiply by 4 (which is the ratio of sand) to get 18m3 which is the quantity of granite required for the project.

To get tonnage, divide 18m3 by 0.654 which gives about 28tons of granite. Buy 30 tons!


________
Oga, Abeg no ask me how I got this figures o! Head nearly blow to work this out. With 1:3:6, you'll use less quantity of cement (90 bags or thereabout). The same quantity of sand/granite should work.
Please are you a builder or a QS. We can't keep giving out free professional advise you are Killing the profession.
PropertiesRe: Cost For Low Budget 5 Bedroom On 1.5 Plot Of Land by supajizy(m): 9:45am On Dec 21, 2016
Get a professional builder or quantity surveyor to prepare an estimate for you after getting ur architectural drawings and structural drawings. Note the kind of finishes and building size increases cost. U can build a five bedroom duplex with that amount but cost is relative to size and quality

Niceeeeeeee!

I told these people. Once Yorubas get on the defensive mode, it's not good for anyone. The message will pass from Lagos to Ogun to Oyo to Ondo etc.

Recent attacks on Ogun/Lagos is similar to Ojukwu's foolish mistake in Ore. Foreigners attacking Yorubaland again. It's like there's a quiet declared war on Yorubas and Yorubaland.

My people need to wake up.
