1. Assuming 4” Concrete hollow blocks (4” = 0.1m)

Area = [(2)(20.00m) + (12.00m–0.1m–0.1m) + (2)(4.00m-0.1m)] x (2.60m)
Area = (59.60m) (2.60m)
Area = 154.96m2
12.5𝑝𝑐𝑠
NCHB = Area x 𝑚2
12.5𝑝𝑐𝑠
NCHB = 154.96m2 x 𝑚2
NCHB =1937pcs

2. Cement and sand for block laying (Class B – 1:3 Proportion)

Block laying mortar for 4” = 0.0005m 3/pc
m3
VBLM = (1937pcs) x (0.0005 pc )
VBLM = 0.9685m3 ≈ 0.97m3

Nbags = (VBLM) x (12 bags of Cement/m3)

Nbags = (0.97m3) x (12 bags of Cement/m3)
Nbags = 11.64 bags ≈ 12 bags of cement

m3
Volsand = (0.97m3) x (1 m3 ) = 0.97m3

3. Cement, sand and gravel filler for hollow core (Class B – 1:3 Proportion)
Mortal Fill for 4” = 0.003m3/pc
m3
VMF = (1937pcs) x (0.003 pc )
VMF = 5.811m3 ≈ 5.81m3

Nbags = (VMF) x (12 bags of Cement/m3)

Nbags = (5.81m3) x (12 bags of Cement/m3)
Nbags = 69.72 bags ≈ 70 bags of cement

m3
Volsand = (5.81m3) x (1 m3 ) = 5.81m3

4. Cement and sand for plastering (Class B – 1:3 Proportion) (0.019m thickness)
AWALL (Ext) = [(2)(20.00m) + (12.00m) + (2)(4.00m)] x (2.60m)
AWALL (Ext) = 156.00 m2

AWALL (Int) = [(2)(20.00-0.2m)+(12.00m–0.2m)+ (2)(4.00m-0.1m)] x (2.60m)

AWALL (Int) = 153.92 m2

ATOTAL = AWALL (Ext) + AWALL (Int) = 156.00 m2 + 153.92 m2

ATOTAL = 309.92m2

VolPlaster = (ATOTAL) x (0.019m)

VolPlaster = (309.92 m2) x (0.019m)
VolPlaster = 5.88848m3 ≈ 5.89m3

Rough Plaster
Nbags = (VMF) x (12 bags of Cement/m3)
Nbags = (5.89m3) x (12 bags of Cement/m3)
Nbags = 70.68 bags ≈ 71 bags of cement

m3
Volsand = (5.89m3) x (1 m3 ) x 1.33 = 7.8337m3 ≈ 7.83m3

FINE PLASTER
2.5kgs 1bag
Nbags = (ATOTAL) x ( ) x (40kgs)
m2
2.5kgs 1bag
Nbags = (309.92m2) x ( ) x (40kgs)
m2
Nbags = 19.37bags ≈ 20 bags of cement

6. Reinforcing steel bars (1m2 = 5m rebar) (1pc Rebar = 6m) (1.1 Factor of Safety)
Area = [(2)(20.00m) + (12.00m–0.1m–0.1m) + (2)(4.00m-0.1m)] x (2.60m)
Area = (59.60m) (2.60m)
Area = 154.96m2

5m Rsb
LRSB = (Awall) x ( ) x F.S
1m2
5m Rsb
LRSB = (154.96m2) x ( ) x (1.1)
1m2
LRSB = 852.28m

1pc
NRSB = (852.28m) x ( 6m )
1pc
NRSB = (852.28m) x ( 6m )
NRSB = 142.04667pcs ≈ 143pcs RSB

7. GI tie wire (L – 0.3m) (6 ties/m2) (1kg = 53m)

6 ties 0.3m
Ltie = (Awall) x ( 1m2 ) x ( )
tie
6 ties 0.3m
Ltie = (154.96m2) x ( 1m2 ) x ( )
tie
Ltie = 278.928m ≈ 278.93m

1kg
Wtie = (278.93m) x (53m )
Wtie = 5.26kg ≈ 6kg
