    The document calculates the materials needed to construct the exterior walls of a ground floor. It estimates the quantities of concrete hollow blocks (CHB) of different sizes, cement bags, sand and gravel required. For each of the 6 exterior walls, it determines the wall area, deducts any door and window areas, calculates the net CHB wall area and number of CHB blocks required after adding a 5% wastage factor. The totals will be used to request supplies for constructing the exterior walls.
