Good morning. It depends on the type of tiles you're buying. If you're buying 400mm x 400mm porcelain tiles, you will need approximately 9 cartons. superbouck: 1 Like |

amosblisz: Generally, a ten tire truck carries twenty ton material allegedly. Until someone comes up with a mobile truck scale then we’re just relying on hope. One of my favorite suppliers runs a DAF I wish you had more trust in your engineer maybe find a qualified one that you can also trust. We’ve read all sorts of things on here in the past. Allegations of people parking vans by the site to remove materials at night, inflated invoices loaded with kickbacks, collusion with rogue family members, etc Only God can “safe” us homeowners ![]() 5 Likes |

A research finding shows that engaging a Quantity Surveyor in a construction project leads to a 25% reduction in the cost of construction. Do not just engage a quantity surveyor to prepare estimated cost of construction (Bill of Quantities or schedule of materials and labour) for you, engage the QS during the construction stage as a client or a contractor. Here's why; So many decisions that were made during the estimating stage (arriving at a construction cost) get altered, modified or replaced during the construction stage. This alteration, modification or replacement could either lead to a downward or upward cost. It hardly stays the same. So, engaging a QS during pre-construction and post-construction helps to fairly assess these changes. A quantity surveyor is everybody's friend. 4 Likes |

Badgers14:Bros is not funny, no matter how smart one think he is they will find way to cheat and rob you. Let's educate ourselves from experience. Firstly, most of those truck bunk bucket has been modified by reconstructing the bunk to carry less of the product. secondly, even if it is loaded you can never be sure of the loaded quantity. Even those that show you scale receipt that the quantity is right you'll be surprise that those scales has been adjusted before weighing. Another observation is the size of the granites, you get a little more with smaller sizes but you may end up using more in construction at the same time. If engineer in charge can agree to mix small and bigger granites to help owners save money. In terms of sand it's better to always buy dry ones otherwise you end up spending more money. For those of us that are counting tire to determine the load size from the pervious contributors on this same topic, you can see it's a complete waste of time. The cheating is across the board from electric cables to wood suppliers, roofers, tilers, even laborers inflate their prices that you an never image. May God help us from these cheaters. 3 Likes |

EgunMogaji2: When I bought granite in Port Harcourt from Chinese people, they displayed their meter outside. So you get to weigh your truck before loading, infact, they will tell the driver to disembark. Then they weight it after loading. And you pay what you see on the meter. Easy peasy. I paid 20,000 transport for a 30 ton truck. I was in awe. 2 Likes |

KolaShangOne: That’s how it really should be. You know I always tell the trucks that I’ll give them extra tip towards diesel just so I can get a full load. Getting a company materials handling truck is high on my list for 3rd quarter next year. 1 Like |
