I am looking for research into different product dimensions of commonly used materials by country.
i.e. common brick/block sizes, bag of sand, bag of cement size for India, Italy etc.
The research would include any terms used for said products (a queen brick is size of x. etc). It will also require translations or annotations into English.

As an example:
In the UK we use:
25kg & 1 tonne bags of sand,
25kg bags of cement,
Bricks are generally 215mmx70mmx100mm,
Blocks are 210mmx420mm but vary in widths of 100mm, 150mm & 210mm
Concrete is made in the Uk using 25kg bags or 1 tonne bags of ballast (all in)
I will require this for various trades, rendering, brickwork, concrete etc.

The project should be completed within three months with a scope of 6 countries to start with and in your own time from any location.
Starting with these countries: Germany,Spain,France,Italy,India,Pakistan

Payment will need to be negotiated and I would need to know that the individual is capable of getting the required results?
