how do you guys do this calculation? is there a software or you do manually? How do you correct for the different sand densities and settlement? Thanks saydfact: Hargbo: |

megacontrol: Calculate the volume of space you need to fill in cubic meter. Length - 120ft = 36.576m Width - 30ft = 9.144m Height - 1ft = 0.3048m VOLUME = 36.576m × 9.144m × 0.3048m = 101.94m³ Now we know the volume of void we need to fill, we know to the mass(weight) that can fill that void. Density of Laterite is 1 019 kg/m³ Mass = volume × density = 101.94 × 1019 = 103876.86kg = 103.876 tonnes The tonnes is dependent on the density of the material you are using for filling 4 Likes 1 Share |

Mgbadike80: Yes. These days, the thickness of the 0.45mm gauge is nothing to write home about. There is a 0.50mm gauge that has been introduced. If you don't have money for 0.55mm, use 0.50mm. Although some companies have good 0.45mm but it's costlier than those they sell for 1200 or 1250. |

saydfact: This is a very helpful calculation and professionally done. However, please do not encourage the introduction of CLAY to any building site. This is poor practice. Clay is a very poor soil quality which often times than not is responsible for cracks in building without expensive due diligence regarding the foundation. We don't know what the poster wants to use the land for but I will encourage laterite all through. No clay please. 2 Likes |

Hargbo: Very correct, but you need to factor in SHRINKAGE which is 0.89 for sharp sand plus waste also. More so as Chekitout said most suppliers will still supply you less at site. That is why most people in Nigeria go for batching by volume of materials to get good result at site. Batching of materials by weight here in Nigeria supplier will fail you if care is not taking bcs Actual tonnage will not be supplied ( site experience) By weight is the best to give accurate calculation of the materials (but most people don’t have time for this here in Nigeria) Even by volume at time the labour will measured the head pan full at time and some times it will not (the result will become thumb rules result, really it’s not bad ..it usually give approx.result But this thumb rules can’t eliminate real calculation Site and practical experience count so much. So also calculation is very essential Without any of these you can’t get your boq right. Good luck to all professionals and home owners 2 Likes |

GoodFaith: Is like you didn’t get what I mean The complete set which comprises of the shower head, the control engine, the mouth tap, 3-in 1) cost 35k. Mean while product and quality determine the price. For example must product you get in USA is either Delta,Chicago, moen, and when you compare the price with here plus shipping you will see that the price here are ok. Before here when we have top brand in the world in mkt am talking about 15yrs back, although only few are available now and very expensive Like before when we have Twyford genuine( England.) Kohler. Grohe gGermany) Roca (Spain) Jaquar (India) Armitage shank Ideal standard Euro And many more.Delta brand quality is same as Thailand made or Turkish made All these brand doesn’t get spoiled easily They can last you 30yrs plus Even this used imported (tokunbo) of it can last you 10-15yrs. China can only last you 1-5yrs (new) This remind me a member here about 6yrs ago I told him this mixer but genuine twyford make for 57k he said Rotech it’s too much he promised me to get cheaper from England before I knew it he called his uncle and the reply I got back was that Rotech pls bring 4sets, and I knew from beginning when he said he will get that from uk that he can’t get it cheaper since he will send it through air. All these brand are very expensive range from35-100k per set of shower. Presently most suppliers done even know this type only few guys knows this. If all these are very expensive then China is there label England or Germany for lesser price Reason why I do explain deeply and the truth to anybody that asked me to supply any product to him or her, it’s now left for the person decides. I do tell people forget about name you see on products we know the genuine one which is very few in the mkt presently To open it more for you members For example .Any pumping machine submersible 1hp lesser than 70-80 is not European make. ( although those good China will still perform the magic o) Let me just stop here for now 1 Like |

I still dey here kampe...its just that the way Nairaland property section was just discouraged me a bit from being active in commenting. I have been active in commenting on some other sections, though. Nice to see that you are all doing well. I am always available to lend my voice to any questions people may have.
