How much bricks, cement

Answer Posted / karthik

I guess you wanted to ask for the amount of cement, steel and bricks required for house construction. Although there are no thumb rules, we have derived this by averaging the material consumption for multiple projects.

1. Cement - 400 bags for 1000 sqft
2. Steel - 4000 Kgs for 1000 Sqft
3. Bricks - 5000 Nos for 1000 sqft

We have prepared a detailed infographic on http://www.happho.com/choose-building-materials-estimate-cost-quantities-house-construction/ on this. Since I cannot paste images here, you can check it from there.

In an aggregate blending plant, water is sprayed before blending is performed. If the fine content in aggregate is as high as 25 %, will not the fines form into lumps / balls and distribution will not be uniform ? Further, the fines will stick onto the interior of pug mill and its content will be low. The mixed material is stockpiled for weeks / months before use. Will it not be better that blending is done in dry condition, and water will be added only during compaction at site. Please forward your comments and suggestions.
