Answer / Sheeshpal Singh

Calculating the number of hollow blocks required for a simple house depends on various factors, such as the block size, wall thickness, and reinforcement details. However, here's an approximate calculation for your 3m x 6m house with 4" or 6" hollow blocks:
- For a 4" block, you would need approximately 800 blocks (assuming a wall thickness of 15 cm, including reinforcement).
- For a 6" block, you would need approximately 300 blocks (also assuming the same wall thickness as above). Note that the actual number may vary based on the specific design and construction requirements.
