The document calculates the materials required 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 needed. For each of the 6 exterior walls, it determines the wall area, deducts any door and window openings, calculates the net CHB wall area and number of blocks required using a conversion factor. It adds a 5% wastage factor to determine the final estimated quantities of CHB, cement, sand and gravel for the ground floor exterior walls.
