What Is The Cost Of Molding/Buying 500 Sandcrete Blocks in Nigeria?
Molders are to be monitored to ensure a total of 40 blocks is produced for every bag of cement. The average is 38 blocks but since the molder is not a machine, there may be an addition 2 blocks after each bag so we say 40 blocks/bag of cement. Now let's sum up the entire cost to mold 500 Blocks. 13,000 + 32,000 + 8,400 = N53,800.
