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 somehow: |

okeyglm: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. |

mountmoriah:2020, I thought it's supposed to be uniform price , like other building materials. |
mountmoriah(m): 3:59pm On Jan 05, 2022 |
okeyglm: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. 1 Like |

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? |

mountmoriah: 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 |

sonnie10:though we all know our fingers are not equal but we would do a proper selections to get accuracy. |

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.

BrickDevo: 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 1 Like 1 Share |

KolaShangOne: 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.

Mystical888: 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 1 Like |
