Answer / karthik

I guess you wanted to ask for the amount of cement, steel and bricks required for house construction. Although there are no thumb rules, we have derived this by averaging the material consumption for multiple projects.

1. Cement - 400 bags for 1000 sqft
2. Steel - 4000 Kgs for 1000 Sqft
3. Bricks - 5000 Nos for 1000 sqft

We have prepared a detailed infographic on http://www.happho.com/choose-building-materials-estimate-cost-quantities-house-construction/ on this. Since I cannot paste images here, you can check it from there.
