    This document provides calculations for the cost of a 1 square meter section of 225mm thick sandcrete block wall. It estimates that 10.5 blocks will be needed per square meter at a cost of 2100. The cement to sand ratio for the mortar is 1:4, requiring 10.5 bags of cement at 2300 per bag and 1.92 tonnes of sand at 3500 per tonne. Labor for one mason and one unskilled worker per day is 5500. The total estimated cost per square meter including materials, labor and 15% profit is 3690.40.

    225mm Blockwork

    Calculations
    225mm thick Sandcrete blocks, hollow, approved manufacturer 450 × 225, compressive strength not less than
    7.0 N/mm², standard finish; keyed both edges in cement-sand mortar (1:4); flush smooth pointing as work
