Requirements for block making include the following
1) Sharp Sand (Double tipper)
2) 15 Bags of cement
3) Water
4) Labour
If you have already done a borehole on your land then you don’t have to buy water if not you will have hire big drums which you use to buy water..Now that we know the materials needed. We will need to estimate how much quantity of blocks it will produce
1 bag of cement produces 50 blocks so let us do the calculation,15 bags will produce 15 x 50 = 750 pieces of 6 inches blocks. So with a double tipper of sand and 15 bags of cement you will get 750 blocks.
So let us now do our calculations to know how much it costs to produce 750 blocks
1) Sharp sand ( Double tipper) = 22,000 Naira
2) 15 Bags of cement (1900 each 1900 x 15 =28,500 )
3) Water 1,000 Naira
4) Labour ( 700 Naira per bag 700 x 15 = 10,500 )
Total: 62,000 Naira
Now that we know how much it costs to make these blocks let us now compare it if we had chose to buy the blocks
1 Block = 150 Naira (Current market price )
750 Blocks = (750 x 150 = 112,500 Naira)
Cost of making 750 blocks = 62,000 Naira
Cost of buying 750 blocks = 112,500 Naira
Difference (112500 – 62000 = 50,500 (Savings)

DeleteTHANKS FOR YOUR INFORMATION IN BLOCK BUSINESS, I APPRECIATE SO MUCH,BCAUSE I PLANNING A BLOCK MAKERS BUSNESS IN MY HOME TOWN SOMEDAY. ASSALLAMALAICUM.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the information. You didn't put the cost of renting the machine. Also pls add analysis for 9 inches blocks as well.
ReplyDeleteReally informative but don,t you think 50 out of a bag is too much cos in my town ppl always go for 35 out of a bag for the block to be strong
ReplyDelete35 pieces is meant for 9inches of block while 50 is for 6inches
DeleteI'll buy new block machines and show me a few new machines
ReplyDeleteGod bless you brother for the analysis.
ReplyDeleteFor 10 coaches of two plots of land, how many blocks could it cost? Thanks
Nice information Brother, but what is the cubic metre of the Double tipper mentioned as these varies according to the construction of the vehicle. Thanks
ReplyDeleteI guess double tipper in that regard means 10tonnes
DeletePlease how many block can one used to complete after decking a 3bedroom flat.
ReplyDeleteAnd how many bags of cement will go.
My engineer said 120 bags and 5000 blocks.
check these website based on their calculation for a 3 bedroom you need 3030 block worst case 3500 blocks
Deletehttps://www.structville.com/2017/07/how-to-calculate-number-of-blocks.html
And the cement bags needed based on a calculation of 9 inch block you need 86 bags of cement see link below for the break down, so give or take 100 bags of cement for a 9 inch block should be enough for a 3 bedroom flat

Please I need some information do I need granite also if I am trying to fence a 4 and half plot, I know cement is needed bole hole with pump and tank for reserve is needed , sharp sand is needed do i need to also add granite to it.
ReplyDeleteGood write up, but obviously getting 50 blocks from one bag of cement is excess, it should be 35,however it's advice able to mould it rather than buying it
ReplyDeleteI think 50 is for hollow block
DeleteGood write up but 50 six inches hollow block from a bag of cement has totally compromised the strength of your block. Then double tipper size you mentioned is just between 10 to 12 tonnage capacity which is not certain to be enough for the 20 bags estimated, especially when you have too much of sand to cement ratio in your mixture. It's Useful information anyways
DeletePlease can I get a rough estimate of what it will cost to build a room and parlour self contain.

Meanwhile, producing more than 34 blocks from a single bag of cement will definitely collapse your building. In case you're for such business, nobody will ever patronise you if eventually discovered.
My take though.
4-BEDROOM FLATS ARE NOT DIFFICULT TO COME BY.
ReplyDeleteThey are also cool if money isn’t a problem for the builder. When it comes to 4-bedroom flats, building an average one requires about 3100 blocks.
Just as it was stated above, a simple 4-bedroom flat will require a lesser amount of block, while a complex one will require more blocks, depending on its level of complexity.
CONCRETE BUILDING BLOCKS
When trying to build a house, there are two major ways of going about getting blocks. They can either be bought from a company or be produced.
Buying building blocks from a company have both advantages and disadvantages. Likewise, producing blocks for oneself has its advantages and disadvantages. Let’s take a quick look at some advantages and disadvantage of buying building blocks. Buying building blocks have a major advantage of being able to get very large quantity in a short period. Block producing companies often have large units of blocks readily available.
All you have to do is to locate them and buy as many blocks as you need, in no time.
Another advantage is that an individual needs not have any knowledge of how to produce blocks, to lay their hands on them.
Buying building blocks have a good number of significant downsides. In fact, it is often discouraged to go for this option in situations where it should be avoided. When you buy blocks from companies, there is little or no guarantee that the blocks bought are of good quality. Some block procuring companies use cement to produce an excessive amount of blocks. At times the problem comes from the type of sand they use for the production of the blocks.
Another great downside of buying building blocks is that the buyer spends significantly more than what would have been spent if they produced the blocks themselves.
When construction works are to be carried out, it is often advised to produce blocks for oneself…..
Some reasons for this: producing blocks to be used for construction work can help save a lot of money. The amount of money that will be saved increases as the number of blocks needed for the construction increases. Saving money is not the only major benefit of producing blocks oneself. Another benefit of this is ensuring that blocks used for construction are of good quality.
Ordinarily, a bag of cement should be used to produce 32 – 34 blocks. However, some companies go as far as using a bag of cement to produce 40 blocks.
In worst cases, we see companies using a bag of cement to produce as much as 48 blocks. In a situation where one produces their block, they can ensure that a bag of cement is used to produce the appropriate amount of blocks. One has to be careful about who handles the production of the blocks……
There are some fraudulent masons who steal cement. It is important that you hire people who can be trusted, or you have someone monitor the production.
Furthermore, be careful when buying cement that will be used for the production of blocks. Avoid buying types of cement that have expired, or cement that have lost part of their quality. It is best to buy cement to be used, directly from trailers. Buying of low-quality types of cement should also be avoided.
Production of blocks requires either a block mold or a block machine.
The main difference between the two is that block machines can produce more blocks, compared to when using molds, in a given time.
Sharp sand should also be used for block production, not fine sand. The sand that will be used should be free of things like nylon, plastic, sticks, etc. Avoid production of blocks when rain is about to fall. However, if rain starts to fall unexpectedly, the blocks that are yet to dry should be covered with nylon, and put out of the way of erosion
