CHB Estimator v2.0xlsx

This document provides an estimate of materials needed for a concrete hollow block (CHB) wall based on input dimensions. It calculates that 42 CHB units will be needed to build a wall that is 2.5m long and 1.2m high using 100mm thick blocks. It also estimates the mortar, cement, sand, and reinforcing bars required.
