Good evening chairmen, please can someone give me a rough total of chippings, cement and sharp sand that will be enough to make a German floor of 600sqm. Thank you

this calculation is for 600m2 of concrete using 1:2:4 and thickness of 150mm

CEMENT = 570 bags

SAND = 64 tonnes

GRANITE = 160 tonnes

this calculation is for 600m2 of concrete using 1:2:4 and thickness of 100mm

CEMENT = 380 bags

SAND = 43 tonnes

GRANITE = 106 tonnes

Goodluck

From your data its 27.6m3 of Concrete.

using 1:3:6 we have...

CEMENT = 123 bags
SAND = 21 tonnes
GRANITE = 50 tonnes

Goodluck - If you're using a different mix, holla.

I wnt to build a soakaway I.e d normal soakaway whereby blocks will b laid inside and casted wit cement den covered, but an old woman who sells blocks to me was advising me dat d best n cheapest method of building soakaway currently is by digging it in d form of well not too deep tho (I.e where we draw water) n put ring in it, no need to caste underneath it so to enable d faeces dry up n liquid from d faeces or urine or when we flush d toilet will escape thru d gap btw d rings.
d woman did a soakaway like dat at her block Industry.
pls does any1 here has an idea of dis method??

I know of this idea but here are the Merit and Demerit.
Merit
1. A little bit lesser to construct
2.faster to construct .

Demerit
1. Only applicable to dry and firm land area only

2. There is always back flow of ODOR into the
toilet basin and floor drain( bcs the piping system will be SINGLE STACK SYSTEM Even if its double both will still be passed into the pit)

3 During the rainy season there is possibility for the pit to over flooded and leak into any WELL or bore hole around the place (due to joint where the ring meet which will be purposely open for the foul water to Escape while placing the ring).

4. In standard building drawing this system will not be approved.

Let me stop here for now for others to contribute to the matter.

I will advise you to do the normal soakaway, constructing a ring form soakaway with uncemented surface can lead to the waste water(leachate) infiltrating into the subsurface layer contaminating bore within that terrian especially if the subsurface is underlaid by a permeable material.
if you have money do better soakaway, if no enough money, if it a dry land, with imperme able material like clay that is underlying the subsurface you can.
if you decide to use the last option also consider the issue of diffusion, make there are enough vent, to avoid smell that drive visitors.
also allow it to be deep also because faeces decay into Sandy particles only the water that infiltrate, so if shallow can get full on time depending on the numbers of persons using it.

yh, I was confused wen d woman was telling me abt it, even a landlord in d area was supporting her cos even he wanted to build d standard soakaway but had to improvise to d ring method to reduce cost n it has been okay, dat digging d big soakaway (d one casted overall) is enuf to build a room self contain.
I was really confused.
tanx for ur input sir.

350 - 650 depends on tiles and tilers....

Can i assume that a 12 x 12 ft room is 16 square meter, and a tiler would charge accordingly??

Does anybody know this type of ceiling, or who can do it for me.
It appears like plastor board is first nailed, and then the matte design is sprayed on it, giving it a nice mature look.
I saw it outside nigeria in several homes, and it looked really simple and nice. It was until i saw this old and damaged one that i kinda understood how it may have been done
