HOW MANY BLOCKS DO YOU REALLY NEED FOR YOUR FOUNDATION?
This is a question many people ask once they buy land and want to start building. The truth is, the number of blocks you need for your foundation is not the same for everyone, it depends on your design.
If your plan is a 2-bedroom bungalow, the foundation may take between 900 – 1,200 blocks.
For a 3-bedroom bungalow, you may be looking at 1,500 – 2,000 blocks.
For a duplex, it can run into 3,000 blocks or more, depending on the size.
But here’s the catch: it’s not just about the number of blocks. The soil condition, the height of your foundation, whether you’re doing single wall or double wall, and even if you’re raising it high because of flooding in the area, all of these factors will affect how many blocks you’ll use.
👉 The best way to avoid guesswork is to have your building plan ready and let a professional calculate the estimate for you. That way, you don’t waste money, and you’ll know exactly how to budget before starting.
