Thanks man I really appreciate

[quote author=Hum2020 post=85470386][/quote]Please what is the appropriate quantity to be produced by this 9inh Hollow blocks for a bag

House please I need your opinion on how much you think is the price to mold a 9inch Hollow block on a site... I will be the one to provide the sand and the cement and water.. all they will provide is Services I.e machine/Engine for the blocks and Labor... i contacted some one today and he told me for him to mold a piece of block while a provide the sand and cement/water it will be #130 per a piece and he can produce 40piece for a bag of cement.. which means if I want to mold 100bags = 3000 Blocks I will have to pay him 390,000 plus the fact that I still be the one to buy the 100 bags of cement and provide the sand...

So guys please what’s your take on this .. because when I did my calculations with all cost I think the total amount I will spend for just molding 3000 blocks will be ridiculous and doesn’t make much sense to me ...

It depends on the location

Location is Benin.. rather just give me an average price

Guys, any idea on how much 9 inch hollow blocks costs now??

Hello Guys, Good Morning and Happy new year..
Please am new in here and I need some tips and advice on what to do..

I purchased a plot of land last year measured 100ft by 100ft.. I did all settlement and started putting in trips of Sand upto 10times . ( the normal trailer size called double/two in one tipper)..

The plan was to build a 4 Bedroom Bungalow with sitting room dinnerroom and all..
But when I started molding the blocks there the person who was watching over it convinced me that 5inchs solid kind of blocks is okay to raise such a building because I wasn’t at the country.. but now from the videos and pictures I see everywhere, it seems like what engineers actually use for such building is a 9inch Hollow blocks..

So I got to talk to an engineer yesterday night on the phone and he told me that we could start molding 6inch solid and use it for the surrounding walls then use the previous 5inch for the inner demarcation walls..
Please guys with experience, what’s your take on this??

Secondly is 6inch solid a good substitute for 9inch hollow blocks??
P.S I intend to do a Parapet on it and won’t the weight be too much??

And do anyone has a good modern 4bedroom bungalow plan , can you please notify me ??

Thanks guys for taking out time to read through,, I will be looking forward to your responses ����,

Happy New Year �
