Cost of Foundation | Estimate: Blocks and Cement

This is a step by step guide on how to go about doing a quick cost estimate for a new house foundation. Talks about the total number of BLOCKS that would be needed to complete the house foundation, and the BAGS OF CEMENT to do the blockwork for the house foundation, and also the volume of CONCRETE that will be enough to cast a simple STRIP FOOTING and the GERMAN FLOOR otherwise called OVERSITE CONCRETE or DPC.

@cluelessjunkie Thanks for the video. So after getting the volume of concrete for the German floor (in this case it was 6.18m3). How do you calculate (water, cement, sand and aggregates) needed for this 6.18 volume concrete.

Thanks very much for this video the steps that you have shown is good not a lot of people there has a computer this I know but spreadsheet will make this really easy I am sure that you could setup a speed sheet template??

[@cluelessjunkie]

Thank you for watching! One doesn't really need a computer to do the steps mentioned in the video. The working floor plans(hard copy) usually have dimensions. The area of the plan would also be on the drawing. A spreadsheet would make it too comprehensive, lengthy and boring for viewers that simply wish to know the NUMBER OF BLOCKS and BAGS OF CEMENT to get for their house foundation. Cheers!

Can i have a building plan for a mansion with 10 bedrooms?

[@aturuchukanwordu9697]

Thanks.....i would like to know how togive allowance for errors?

[@cluelessjunkie]

I'm not sure what you mean by 'allowance for errors' But if it is to not come short of material from use of the method in the video - I will say that if the calculation is done correctly as shown, there should be leftover of material after the job is done(it is an estimation)

[@aturuchukanwordu9697]

@@cluelessjunkie for example....while casting a pillar, its wooden frame gives way and you'll have to redo that same pillar....does the calculations cover for such occasional errors?
