Topic: Don’t Let Cement Cheat You. How to Measure Properly 🧱

Too many builders are losing money because of wrong cement measurements. Some “contractors” will tell you one bag is enough for 50 blocks. LIE🤥

✅ Standard ratio for block molding is: 1 bag of cement = 20–25 blocks (for solid quality)
Anything more = weak blocks. But as Nigerians trying to economize, 35 should be your max measure for standard mould.

🚫 Watch out for:
- Labourers using extra sand to “stretch” the mix
- Mixing on bare soil (you lose cement to the ground, always build bunkers)
- Buying blocks from from open markets with fake brands will leave your structure weak, it's recommended you mould the blocks for your structure yourself.

Pro Tip: Always insist on mixing in your presence. Better still, let them measure the sand and cement in your presence. Na your money dey ground o!
