Common Uses

People use this calculator when they need a quick way to estimate mortar, concrete blocks, cinder blocks, bricks, wall area, or masonry materials.

• Material Estimating: Estimate material quantities, waste factors, coverage, bags, blocks, sheets, gallons, linear feet, and project needs before ordering supplies.
• Measurement: Use dimensions, surface area, volume, spacing, thickness, wall height, coverage, or project measurements to calculate a practical result.
• Budgeting: Support rough cost planning by estimating quantities before comparing supplier prices or contractor quotes.
• Project Planning: Plan job scope, materials, order quantities, and construction assumptions before starting a project.

Formula or Method

Bricks = Wall area / (brick face area incl. mortar joint)

Example

Example inputs: Wall Length: 20 ft; Wall Height: 8 ft; Brick Length: 7.625 in; Brick Height: 2.25 in; Mortar Joint: 0.375 in; Waste Factor: 10%

Example result: Using the default inputs, wall area is 160.00 ft² and estimated bricks with waste are 1,207.
