his using 18ft long hardwood according to that price above but the prices are inflated, this are also sawmill woods not falada, even fadala is here in the west is more than N300 depend on the type of woods, in benin we only sell sawmill woods no fadala

In Enugu I buys it 200- 250 12ft when I was building my house.

Search on Jiji for sellers and engage them, I got a deal of 3950 with delivery and offloading today on Jiji. Seller is around Abule Egba,Lagos and it's POD

I need cement in Ibeju Lekki.

Any reasonable offer?

when was that sir, and , you can't move woods from Enugu to Benin, even the government tax collectors and the military boys, couple with the police on the road will show hell before u move the woods across.

2020, I thought it's supposed to be uniform price , like other building materials.

no no sir, it wasn't at all, cost of building materials varies from state to state, the cost of roofing sheet be it stone coated or aluminum roofing sheets is more expensive in the east, in the north, in the south compare to the west especially Lagos, because most of the materials are imported to Lagos and distributed all over the country, that is just a case study.

Happy new year house.

Please what are the pros and cons of the circular septic tank ( well type) ?

And what is the significant difference between the well type and the conventional type?

Thanks for this update.

mountmoriah:
Johnytech @Abule Egba sell good bozac aluminum materials that stand the test of time

I'm hoping mine will stand the test of time too.

Let me try this method.

of course yes, since u bought it from Johnytech and it is bozac materials, it will surely stand the test of time.

his using 18ft long hardwood according to that price above but the prices are inflated, this are also sawmill woods not falada, even fadala here in the west is more than N300 (2x2x12) depend on the type of woods, in benin we only sell sawmill woods no fadala, but here in the west, fadala is common and all our woods are by 12ft no 16ft or 18ft woods

This is correct but those x18 woods are hardly up to that length. Most are either x 16 or 17 but the sellers would still sell them as x18.
If you want to find out the truth, go with a tape and measure it. At least if you get a few standard length, you can use that to guide what they would load because it would be tasking measuring more than a 1000 pieces woods

though we all know our fingers are not equal but we would do a proper selections to get accuracy.

Do you sir by any chance you have some spillage left?.do you mind see what inscription you have under it if you have the chance any time at all..

Good Evening house,

Please I need assistance with calculating the concrete mix of a particular civil work I want to carry out in my house.

Meanwhile, I have tried using some online apps I found on app store yet I don't know if I'm doing it right or if the results are accurate.

Please who can assist me to get an accurate calculation (either manually or with an online app).
The dimensions are:-
Length: 252 inches
Width: 9 inches
Depth: 36 inches

Please don't ignore.

all serve same propose....na money matter.... The well type save. Cost

You name is first so you have to help him o. .

He has given you volume. Conv to cu.m..

Determine what each mix of 1.2.4 or 1.3.6 will give him in of volume...

And then divide through..

Then get what each constituent contributes in of weight

Still your BLESSED SUNNY Home of building materials.com

Oga boss calm down oh

How's the refund going @rotecch77 @somehow @n3xt

I will ask the PM to check around on Sunday. Site is currently on break.

Nothing has changed.

Next project
Boystown ipaja
Size: 301 sqm
Pop ceiling designs n tv walls

Duration 3weeks
Thanks @twinskenny for the referral

somehow:


Nothing has changed.

This is saddening!

May be there is still hope,the week ends on Saturday.

Dirkcoyt:


You actually think those who are doing parapet were thinking of security when they did it ? Or do you think parapet can save you from burglars ? I think not

Please does the ratio 1:2:4 mean 50kg by 100kg by 200kg of Cement, Sand and Aggregate? Even as the three have different density?
How can I go about the last part Sir (the bolded)?

Concrete mix calculation (manual)
Length of Concrete- 252 inches
Width of Concrete- 9 inches
Depth of Concrete- 36 inches.
Solution
1st Step:
Conversion of the dimensions to metric unit {SI unit of length} gives us:
New length = 6.40m
New width = 0.23m
New depth = 0.92m
(Hint: 1 inch = 0.0254).
Hence, Volume = 6.40 x 0.23 x 0.92 = 1.35m³
2nd Step:
The mix ratio for a reinforced concrete is 1:2:4(Grade M15) for example.
1:2:4 is equivalent to Cement: Fine aggregate: Coarse aggregate


Volume of Cement in the mix = 1/7 x 1.35m³ =0.19m³
, Density = Mass/Volume
Density of dry Cement= 1440Kg/m³
Density of wet cement = 3150Kg/m³(average).
Therefore, Mass(Kg) of cement = Density x Volume = 3150 x 0.19 = 598.5Kg
Note: 1 bag = 50kg
Total no of bags = 598.5/50 = 11.97 =
12 bags.

Fine aggregate (Sand)
Volume = 2/7 x 1.35m³ = 0.38m³
Dry loose Bulk density = 1550Kg/m³
Mass in Kg = 1550 x 0.38 =589 Kg
I tonne = 1000kg
Hence, Amount of sand = 589/1000 = 0.59tonne

Coarse Aggregate ( Gravel)
Volume = 4/7 x 1.35m³ = 0.76m³
Bulk Density= 1350Kg/m³
Mass = 1350 x 0.76 = 1026kg
Amount in tonne = 1026/1000 = 1.03 tonnes.

1:2:4 means 1 headpan of cement, 2 headpan of sand and 4 headpan of coarse aggregate.

Meanwhile, it's about 2 headpan in a bag (50kg)of cement
