I propose constructing a 38 metre long wall, 1.150 metres high using standard 4”blocks (400x215x100) on their flat at the back and side of a house. How do I calculate the following-
number of 4” blocks required?
quantity of cement required?
Quantity of sand required?
What do 4” blocks cost delivered?
Rough guide on the depth and width of the foundation and if reinforcing needed?
number of pillars/supports required?
