What's the area (square meters)? One square meter will need 50 pcs of brick stone. One brick is around 10pesos as per ads in carousel (probably more), you can do the math if 36k is reasonable.

I'm impressed! Are you an engineer or contractor? Exact nga yung measurement mo kasi I divided the number of bricks he said by the area I wanted na may pavers. Yung sa gilid kasi hindi ko papalagyan kasi may mga halaman so I thought it would be cheaper pa, kung pinasagad ko pa mas lalo na pala ko magulat sa price

Anyway, my bicol lab only lies down in the area near the small gate, plus my MOm wants to keep the area soil kasi it smells daw pag cement tapos may dog. Papapalitan ko yung bermuda kasi namatay na from my fat lab peeing on it ata or because of age.

Ipapadamay ko na lang 2.5 sq meters para lang yung hinihigaan ni bicol lab masementohan? Gaano karami na cement and sand yun saka labor? Kasi sabi ng landscaper ako mag sabi ng budget wtf, malay ko ba magkano yun. Ang mahal niya mag charge ng materials

bricks P30
white sand P40
sack Cement P250
sack red cement 100
theform bar P200 each
grass sq m P150
sack garden soil P80

Yung grass and garden soil mukhang okay na

[baludoy]

interesting...
i never thought of that.
dito kasi samin, meron pang bubuyog.
where is this plantation of yours? in the city, or in the province?

plantation ka naman doc. sa garden lang namin sa house. for home consumption lang mga alaga ko.

sa las pinas lang kami. pero malayo naman kami sa major thoroughfares and sa mga commercial centers. i haven't really visited the village park lately so haven't observed if dito lang sa parte ng village namin medyo sparse ang pollinating insects. meron din kasing under construction na bahay sa tabi namin na full swing mode so baka nabubulabog mga bees and butterflies kaya iwas pusoy sila.

Not a contractor, just learned it from my engineering background.
For that 2.5 square meter of pavement, you will need 2 bags of cement, 5 bags of sand and 10 bags of gravel assuming about 4 inches of depth of the pavement. For that small area, one day is very sufficient to complete the pavement.
Happy to help you and avoid paying too much for this small job. You are doing a good job by setting up your budget.

Pwede ka ba tawagan? J/K Sana mabasa mo agad reply ko

Parang ino over price ata ako ng landscaper. He did admit that a mason would do a better job. For 2.5 sq meters he quoted this. Ang suplado pa when I said kung may discount pa and he said irritably wala na. Hindi naman siya yung boss/owner. WTF. My Mom also heard it and she said these people sound rude

1/4 gravel P1500
1/4 white sand P1500
3 bags cement P750
Labor P1500

TOTAL P5200

Ganyan ba talaga for 2.5 sq m?!? WTF Saka bakit equal parts yung white sand and gravel. Yours 1:2 (of course I will trust the engineer!)

I'm in Dubai hehehe.
Seems okay naman yung quote not sure lang sa local prices ng cement, sand and gravel. I used type C of concrete mixture the lowest type since pavement lang yan no heavy traffic. the ratio of sand and gravel in all type of concrete mix is 1:2. Yung quantity nya na 1/4 cubic meter (I believe) gravel is correct for the concrete mix na kailangan mo yung sand kalahati lang dapat. Pero baka hindi na nakakabili ng ganun kaliit na quantity.
Better nga kung mason ang gagawa para mailatag ng maayos. I think ang labor sa ncr is 800 per day so yung 1500 is malamang 2 tao gagawa - 1 mason and 1 helper.

There is no point in doing business with people whom you don't like ... you're just going to have headaches ... and they won't do a good job since they don't like you either ...

[papi smith]

Agree with gongrhey, pwede na yan, but also agree with Walter, may attitude ung tao, but then, simple job lang naman yan, which will take less than a day....

Ayaw mo ba ung pavers? 17/pc ata bili ko or around 500/sq meter, papantayin lang ang lupa and patong lang, kung grass growth ayaw mo, just lay a black plastic over the ground first before laying the pavers.

Pavers have the look & 'green' advantage. Laying a plastic barrier will cancel the latter, ground absorption of surface water. Without sunlight, weeds shouldn't be a problem.[emoji4]

Oh my, nagulat ako sa P5k+ for 2.5 sq m. Magkano na kaya magpagawa ng bahay ngayon wow! Wala kasi ako kilala na mason Nakakagulat na ang daming gawa ng laborers ngayon considering na pandemic ang daming nagpapa improve ng kung ano ano sa bahay

I am wondering nga why he is so sungit. Was it because I did not tip him for the estimate? I think na offend siya na namahalan ako sa estimate

Pavers yung una kong plan e P36k for the whole area, ang mahal, ang price niya per brick is P30 each and he needs 800 pieces

Ewan ko bakit pavers lang pero ang dami niyang nilagay na materials, saka babawasan daw yung soil sa area

bricks P30
white sand P40
sack Cement P250
sack red cement 100
theform bar P200 each

Kaya sabi ko plain cement na lang at yung area lang sa may gate na 2.5 sq m since that is where my bicol lab stays, di naman siya lumalayo sa gate. Ayoko lang kasi na nahihiga sa lupa si bicol lab

You can’t just use cement on its own. To use as floor pavement, you need concrete which is cement mixed with sand and gravel. Now, to make it more durable (reinforced concrete), you need steel bars so that it won’t crack. Plus you have to consider the finishing as base reinforced concrete is a bit raw and not good to look at.

Yes, you also to move some soil out so that you can have a flat floor and make the surface even.
