Beam (300 mm x 500 mm)
V = (0.3)(0.5)(4)(6) +(0.3)(0.5)(3.5)(6) =
6.75 m3
Column (400 mm x 400 mm)
V = (0.4)(0.4)(2.85)(9) = 4.104 m3
Footing (1 m x 1 m) (thickness = 25 cm)

V = (1)(1)(0.25)(9) = 2.25 m
Slab (thickness = 15 cm)
V = (4)(3.5)(4)(0.15) = 8.4 m3
Total Volume = 6.75 + 4.104 + 2.25 + 8.4 =
21.504 m3
Using Table 1-2 (ESTIMATE by Max
Fajardo):
(using class A & 50 kg of cement bag)
Sand = 21.504 (0.50) = 10.8 m3
Gravel = 21.504 (1) = 21.6 m3
Cement = 21.504 (7) = 151 bags of cement
B. Estimating Masonry
Concrete Hollow Block (CHB)
Interior Walls = 2.85 (4) + 2.85 (3.5) + 2.85
(1.2) (2) + 2.85 (2) (2) = 39.615 m2
Exterior Walls = 2.85 (8) (2) + 2.85 (7) (2) =
85.5 m2
Total Wall Area = 39.615 + 85.5 = 125.115

Mortar for CHB Fill
Total Wall Area = 125.115 m2
Using Table 2-2 (ESTIMATE by Max
Fajardo):
(using class A)
Sand = 125.115 (0.0435) = 5.5 m3
Cement = 125.115 (0.792) = 99.1 kg of
cement
Mortar for Plastering
Total Wall Area = 125.115 m2
Using Table 2-4 (ESTIMATE by Max
Fajardo):
(using class A & thickness = 20 mm)
Sand = 125.115 (0.020) = 2.6 m3
Cement = 125.115 (0.360) = 46 kg of
cement
