The number of cement bags needed for a 1000 sq ft house depends on various factors, including the thickness of the walls, type of construction, and local building codes. On average, it can range from 400 to 500 bags.
How many cement bags required for 1000 sq ft house, hi guys in this article we know about quantity of bags of cement is required for 1000 square feet house. Actual quantity of cement calculation is based on as per design but if design is not given then cement quantity calculation is based on Thumb Rule on experience basis & how many cement bags used in construction of 1000 square feet house.
How many cement bags required for 1000 sq ft house is based on different type of criteria
1) type of structure (Load Bearing/Framed)
2) Purpose of structure (Load depends on the utility)
3) Type of grade of concrete used
4) Size height of column and length of beam (in terms of height, as requirement varies according to construction i.e. whether horizontal or vertical. )
5) Most important is foundation type(depends on soil bearing conditions)
For general residential low rise building of ground floor house we have to calculate cement bags. We use different types of Thumb Rule for cement quantity calculation in all type of RCC structure footing, column, beam & RCC slab,brickwork, flooring & plastering.
Now taking various Thumb Rule for cement quantity calculation for 1000 square feet house
1) thumb rule for cement in rcc concrete is 0.301 cement bags/ sq ft built up area of low rise ground floor residential building
2) thumb rule for cement bags in surface ground flooring is 0.089 cement bags/ sq ft of built up area of low rise ground floor residential building.
3) thumb rule for cement bags in external wall brickwork is 1.26 cement bags/m3 of brickwork of 9 inch ( cement sand ratio 1:6)
4) thumb rule for cement bags in internal wall brick work is 1.28 cement bags/m3 of brickwork of 4.5 inch ( cement sand ratio 1:4)
5) thumb rule for cement bags for external plastering is 0.017017 cement bags/ sq ft plastering
6) thumb rule for cement bags for internal plastering is 0.0086 cement bags/ sq ft plastering
7) thumb rule for cement bags for ceiling plastering is 0.0051 cement bags/ sq ft plastering
How many cement bags required for 1000 square feet house ?
As per thumb rule, on an average 400 bags of 50kg cement are required for building a fully furnished 1000 square feet (sq ft) house. Building a typical house requires 0.4 bags of cement per square foot, so the amount of bags of cement needed for a 1000 square foot house is 400 bags (0.4 × 1000 = 400).
For the construction of residential building of ground floor we have RCC structure like footing, column, beam and slab. Taking one rough design of 1000 square feet house having different dimension of rcc structure like footing, column, beam and slab are following:
How many cement bags required for RCC structure of 1000 square feet house
● Volume of rcc concrete calculation
1) footing size = 1500 mm × 1500mm × 300 mm
Length of footing = 1500 mm
Width of footing = 1500 mm
Height of footing = 300 mm
Depth of earth excavation = 1500 mm
Concrete size in footing = 1200mm×1200mm×300mm
No of footing = 12
Wet volume of concrete in all 12 no of footing = 1.2 m × 1.2 m × 0.3 m × 12 = 5.184 m3
2) column size = 300 mm × 400 mm
No of column = 12
Height above dpc = 3000 mm
Height above rcc slab = 900 mm
Depth of earth excavation = 1500 mm
Total height of column = 5400 mm
Wet volume of concrete for all 12 column
= 0.3 × 0.4× 5.4 × 12 = 7.776 m3
3) plinth beam size = 300mm × 300 mm
Width of beam = 300 mm
Depth of beam = 300 mm
Overall length of all beam = 220 ft = 66000 mm
Wet volume of concrete = 0.3 × 0.3 × 66 = 5.94 m3
4) door beam size for external wall = 225mm × 150 mm
Overall length for external beam = 130 ft = 39000 mm
Volume = 0.225 × 0.15 × 39 = 1.316 m3
Door beam size for internal wall = 125 mm × 150 mm
Overall length for internal beam = 90 ft = 27000 mm
Volume = 0.125 × 0.15 × 27 = 0.506 m3
Total volume of concrete = 1.316 + 0.506 = 1.822 m3
5) roof wall beam size for external wall = 225 mm × 200 mm
Overall length for external beam = 130 ft = 39000 mm
Volume = 0.225 × 0.2 × 39 × = 1.755 m3
Roof wall beam size for internal wall = 125 mm × 200 mm
Overall length for internal wall beam = 90 ft = 27000 mm
Volume = 0.125 × 0.2 × 27 × = 0.675 m3
Total volume = 1.755 + 0.675 = 2.43 m3
6) rcc roof slab = 40′ × 25’×6″
Length of slab = 40 feet
Width of slab = 25 feet
Thickness of slab = 6 inch = 0.5 feet
Volume = 40′ × 25’× 0.5′ = 500 cubic feet
1 m3 = 35.3147 cu ft
Volume = 500/35.3147 = 14.158 m3
Now Total wet volume of concrete required for 1000 square feet house
Footing = 5.18 m3
Column = 7.776 m3
Plinth beam = 5.94 m3
Door beam = 1.822 m3
Roof beam = 2.42 m3
Roof slab = 14.158 m3
Total wet volume of concrete = 37.31 m3
Dry volume of concrete = 37.31×1.54 = 57.45 m3
If we take M20 grade of concrete in which cement sand and aggregate ratio is 1:1.5:3
Cement quantity = (1/5.5)×57.45 × 1440 kg/m3
Cement weight = 15043.4 kg
1 cement bag weight = 50 kg
no of cement bags = 15043.4/50 = 301
301 no of cement bags required for RCC concrete structure footing, beam, column & slab for 1000 sq ft house of low rise building of ground floor.
Cement bags required for brickwork of 1000 square feet house
1) cement consumption in external brick wall
External brick wall length = 2(40+25) = 130 ft
Height of brick wall = 10 feet
Height of brick wall above roof slab = 3 feet
Depth of brick wall below plinth = 2 feet
Total height = 15 feet
Area of external brick wall = 130×15 = 1950 sqft
Volume = 1950 sq ft × 9 inch = 1462.5 cu ft
Volume = 1462.5/35.3147 = 41.413 m3
Volume of brickwork = 41.413 m3
thumb rule for cement bags in external wall brickwork is 1.26 cement bags/m3 of brickwork of 9 inch ( cement sand ratio 1:6)
no of cement bags = 41.413 × 1.26 = 52 bags
2) cement consumption in internal brick wall
brick wall length = 40+25+25 = 90 ft
Height of brick wall = 10 feet
Depth of brick wall below plinth = 2 feet
Total height = 12 feet
Area of external brick wall = 90×12 = 1080 sqft
Volume = 1080 sq ft × 4.5 inch = 405 cu ft
Volume = 405/35.3147 = 11.468 m3
Volume of brickwork = 11.468 m3
thumb rule for cement bags in internal wall brickwork is 1.28 cement bags/m3 of brickwork of 4.5 inch ( cement sand ratio 1:4)
no of cement bags = 11.468 × 1.28 = 15 bags
Total no of cement bags = 52 + 15 = 67
67 no of cement bags required for brickwork of 1000 square feet house
How many cement bags required for ground flooring of 1000 square feet house.
In ground flooring we use plain cement concrete m15 grade of concrete in which mix ratio of cement sand and aggregate is 1:2:4 and floor thickness is 6 inch ( 4 inch concrete + 2 inch plastering for flooring + tile flooring)
Ground flooring concrete slab = 40′ × 25’×6″
Length of slab = 40 feet
Width of slab = 25 feet
Thickness of slab = 6 inch = 0.5 feet
Volume = 40′ × 25’× 0.5′ = 500 cubic feet
1 m3 = 35.3147 cu ft
Volume = 500/35.3147 = 14.158 m3
Wet volume = 14.158 m3
Dry volume = 14.158 × 1.54 = 21.804 m3
no of cement bags = (1/7) 21.804 × (1440/50)
no of cement bags = 89 bags
89 no of cement bags required for ground flooring of concrete, plastering of ground flooring and tile flooring of 1000 square feet house
How many cement bags required for plastering of 1000 square feet house
1) external plastering of brick wall
Length total = 130 ft

Area of plastering = 130 × 10 = 1300 sq ft
thumb rule for cement bags for external plastering is 0.017017 cement bags/ sq ft plastering
no of cement bags = 1300 × 0.017017 = 22 bags
2) internal plastering of brick wall
Length total = 310 ft
Height = 10 ft
Area of plastering = 310 × 10 = 3100 sq ft
thumb rule for cement bags for external plastering is 0.0086 cement bags/ sq ft plastering
no of cement bags = 3100 × 0.0086 = 27 bags
3) ceiling plastering of roof slab
Length total = 1000 ft
thumb rule for cement bags for ceiling plastering is 0.0051 cement bags/ ft plastering
no of cement bags = 1000 × 0.0051 = 5 bags
Total no of cement bags = 22 + 27 + 5 = 54
54 no of cement bags required for external wall plastering,internal wall plastering and ceiling plastering of 1000 square feet house
Now total number of cement bags required for 1000 square feet house
1) rcc concrete = 301 bags
2) Brickwork = 67 bags
3) flooring = 89 bags
4) plastering = 54 bags
Total no of cement bags = 511
That’s 511 (+ 5% and _ 5℅ shift) no of cement bags ( 301 cement bags for rcc concrete, 67 cement bags for brickwork, 89 cement bags for flooring & 54 cement bags for plastering) are required for construction of 1000 square feet house of low rise ground floor building.
