MASONRY WORKS

QUANTITY SURVEYING
Concrete Hollow Blocks are
classified as bearing and non-
bearing blocks
MASONRY
Load bearing blocks are used to
carry load side from its own weight.
Non-bearing blocks on the other
MASONRY hand, are blocks which are intended
for walls, partitions, fences or
dividers carryings its own weight
In computing the required materials
for CHB works, the estimator has to
consider the following items:
1. Quantity of the CHB
MASONRY 2. Quantity of cement and sand for
mortar to fill the hollow cell of every
block
3. Quantity of the cement and sand
for block laying mortar
4. Quantity of the cement and sand
for plastering
MASONRY 5. The materials for CHB footing and
concrete post as required
6. Steel reinforcements and tie wires
MASONRY
Mortar for block laying has an average
thickness 0f 12.5mm
Plaster has an average thickness of
16mm
