Mathematical Formula
Number of Bricks = Wall Volume / Single Brick Volume with Mortar
Overview & Explanation
Estimates total bricks, cement bags, and sand required to construct masonry walls based on standard brick dimensions and mortar joint thickness.
How It Works
- Calculates gross wall volume from length, height, and wall thickness.
- Determines brick counts using nominal brick volume including 10mm mortar joints.
- Calculates wet & dry mortar volume to find cement and sand proportions.
Practical Applications
- House perimeter wall construction
- Partition walls
- Retaining walls
Worked Example: 10m x 3m 9-inch Brick Wall
Find required bricks.
1
Calculate Wall Volume
10 × 3 × 0.23
= 6.9 m³

Number of Standard Bricks
6.9 / (0.2 × 0.1 × 0.1) × 1.05
= 3,623 Bricks
Frequently Asked Questions
