🔧 Technical Guidance

How many bags of cement do I need for a 3-bedroom house foundation?

A typical 3-bedroom house foundation (approximately 10m x 12m with 1.5m depth) requires about 120-150 bags of cement depending on soil conditions. This includes the foundation, columns, and ground beam. We recommend consulting our team at 0705 520 605 with your building plan for an accurate estimate. We offer bulk discounts on large cement orders.

Which plumbing pipes are best for borehole water?

For borehole water, we recommend PPR (polypropylene random) pipes for the main distribution and PVC for underground sections. PPR pipes handle high pressure better and don't corrode. A typical borehole setup needs 20mm PPR for main lines and 15mm for branches. We stock all sizes and fittings. Call 0705 520 605 for technical guidance on your specific installation.

How do I calculate iron sheets needed for a 10m x 15m mabati house?

For a 10m x 15m house with a gable roof (30-degree pitch), you need approximately 85-95 iron sheets (3m length). This includes 10% wastage for cutting and overlap. You'll also need about 20 ridge caps. The exact number depends on roof pitch and overhang. Call us at 0705 520 605 for a free calculation based on your specific design.
