In any construction project, whether it is building a commercial high-rise or a residential renovation, accuracy in preparing the Bill of Quantities (BoQ) and project budget is absolute. Errors in Quantity Surveying can lead to severe cost overruns or an inefficient stockpile of unused materials on-site.

As a trusted building material manufacturer, Jaya Celcon fully understands the need for efficiency among contractors and homeowners. Therefore, we provide a detailed, step-by-step technical guide to calculating the exact requirement of Celcon Blok for your structural walls.

1. Understanding Celcon Blok Dimensions

The fundamental first step before calculating is to understand our product's standard dimensions. Produced using state-of-the-art technology, our blocks are cut with millimeter precision. The standard dimensions of Celcon Blok are:

• Length: 60 cm (0.6 m)

• Height: 20 cm (0.2 m)

• Thickness: Available in two main variants: 10 cm (0.1 m) and 7.5 cm (0.075 m). Also                            Available Custom Size

2. Calculating Celcon Blok Requirements per Square Meter (m²)

To determine how many blocks are needed to cover 1 square meter of a wall, we first calculate the surface area of a single Celcon Blok.

• Area of 1 Celcon Blok = Length x Height

• Area = 0.6 m x 0.2 m = 0.12 m²

Using this data, we can calculate the requirement per square meter:

• Blocks per m² = 1 m² / 0.12 m² = 8.33 pieces

Conclusion: For every 1 square meter of wall, you will need approximately 8.33 pieces of Celcon Blok.

3. Converting Requirements to Cubic Meters (m³)

In the industry, Celcon Blok is sold by volume (cubic meters or m³). The number of pieces within 1 m³ differs based on the block thickness.

A. For 10 cm Thick Celcon Blok:

• Volume of 1 block = 0.6 m x 0.2 m x 0.1 m = 0.012 m³

• Pieces per 1 m³ = 1 m³ / 0.012 m³ = 83.33 pieces (rounded to 83 pieces).

• Coverage: 1 m³ of 10 cm thick Celcon Blok will cover approximately 10 m² of wall area (83 pieces x 0.12 m²).

B. For 7.5 cm Thick Celcon Blok:

• Volume of 1 block = 0.6 m x 0.2 m x 0.075 m = 0.009 m³

• Pieces per 1 m³ = 1 m³ / 0.009 m³ = 111.11 pieces (rounded to 111 pieces).

• Coverage: 1 m³ of 7.5 cm thick Celcon Blok will cover approximately 13.32 m² of wall area.

4. Calculating Thin Bed Mortar Requirements

Installing Celcon Blok is highly efficient as it only requires a 3 mm adhesive joint. As a technical rule of thumb:

• 1 sack of thin bed mortar (40 kg) generally covers a wall area of about 10 m².

• This means, for every purchase of 1 m³ of 10 cm thick Celcon Blok, you ideally need 1 sack of mortar (40 kg).

Full Budget Simulation Example

Suppose you want to build a solid wall that is 10 meters long and 3 meters high using the 10 cm thick Celcon Blok.

1. Total Wall Area = 10 m x 3 m = 30 m² (Note: subtract the area of doors and windows if applicable).

2. Celcon Blok Volume Required = 30 m² / 10 m² (coverage per cubic) = 3 m³.

3. Mortar Required = 30 m² / 10 m² (coverage per sack) = 3 sacks (40 kg).

With these technical calculations, you can order your materials precisely with zero waste.
