2: a concrete block.

3: 1 cubic meter of builders mix, (For making concrete)

4: 1 x bag of cement...40 kilos

Thanks for your help!

Unfortunately we use feet, inches, yards, and pounds, not metric like sensible, civilized countries.

1. 8x4x1.25 inch brick paver about $0.50 each. This is a little smaller than your measurments. My wife bought some recently, so this is recent data.

2. Depends on dimensions. An 8x8x16 I would guess about $5.

3. Don't know, but a cubic yard of concrete delivered and mixed on-site runs about $100 with a 3 cu yd minimum.

4. 80lb bag of Quikrete concrete mix is $4.77 at Lowe's.

5. 4'x8'x1/2" drywall is approx $10
