without these the builder cannot build the house!!! (well he may, but it will be wrong).
secondly you need a boq, this can either come from you architect, or your builder.
your builder may not give you a boq, especially as you are a labour only job.
so you may have to do it yourself!!!!
i know, i know, seems daunting doesnt it, but it is possible. start today by working out how many sqm of blocks you will need. post ya answer here.  |
hi splitlid
1. for wallstones, i need 15m x 4m x 4 walls = 240m2
2. similar amount for red bricks, but to get the number of red bricks, i have to find out the lateral surface area of each brick. then use 240m2 to divide by the surface area to get the number of bricks needed
3. for floor area, aproximately 225m2 x 2(both storeys) = 450m2 of sandstone/marble/granite
these are i think the superficial parts.
1. more important is the m3 of sand, cement, stone.
2. plus the length of water pipes with the associated number of t and u joints.
3 and of course the rebar
pls mark my answers
thanks
