How many bags of cement can and bricks to construct a 4 bedroom house?

112-120 bags of cement for building a four bedroom house consisting of a living room & dining 12*12, 4
bedroom with bathroom, kitchen and the building bricks of 6000 maximum.

The maximum Estimated total numbers of materials 5250 only its should never exceed the number
above.

Calculate cement for constructing the foundation.

The total surface area of the foundation = length *thickness * height

Living room: 12ft*2ft *0.666667ft =16.000*4=64.000032 ft3

Kitchen 8ft*2*0.666667ft =10.666672 *4=42.666688 ft3

Bedroom=8ft *2*0.666667ft=10.666672 *4=42.666688 ft3*3=128.000064 ft3

Bathroom= 7ft*2*0.666667ft=9.33338* 4= 37.33352 ft3

The total cubic footage for a foundation is 272.000304 ft3

The mix ratio of 1:2:3 consists of 1 Part cement, 2 Parts sand, and 3 Parts stone (plus some water)

Volume of mortar= 25%= 25/100*total cubic footage=0.25*272.000304=68.000076

Increment due to volume shrink after water=1.27

The volume of cement=cement ratio 1*volume of mortar * water vol divide by sum ratio
1*68.000076*1.27/6=14.39334942

Bags of cement=14.39334942/volume of cement 1.25=10 bags of cement

Volume of sand=sand ratio 2*volume of mortar * water volume divide by sum ratio
2*68.000076*1.27/6=28.78669884 ft3=0.81514853494238 m3

Volume of stones=sand ratio 3*volume of mortar * water volume divide by sum ratio
3*68.000076*1.27/6=43.18004826ft3=1.2227228024136 m3
