Most Accurate Online Bricks Calculator

We are discussing about Bricks Calculator. This is the same Bricks Calculator for bricks calculator in feet. Our online tools will provide quick answers to your calculation and conversion needs. On this page, you can calculate the number of bricks and amount of mortar required for a given wall area. Once the quantities are known, it is easy to estimate the cost with the rates prevailing in your area.

Bricks Calculator

Using above Calculator you can estimate brick wall cost. You can also use this calculator as Brick Wall Cost Calculator or Brick Cost Estimator.

Brick Quantity Estimation

The calculations on this page is based on the following assumptions:-

i) The bricks are laid on stretcher bonds
ii) There is 1/2 inch mortar joint between the bricks
iii) The mortar mix is 1:4 (cement:sand)

The simple way to calculate number of bricks is to divide surface area of the wall by the surface area (vertical face) of a single brick.

Formula: Bricks Required = Wall Area/ Brick Area

No. Of Bricks required for 1 Cubic Metre or 1m3. (Brick Work Calculation)

To calculate No. Of Bricks required for 1 Cubic Metre or 1m3. (Brick Work Calculation) follow these Steps-

#Step 1:- At First We Will Calculate the Volume of Single Unit of Brick:In India, the standard size of brick is 190mm x 90mmx 90mm. Standard Size of Brick can be vary according to the region/district or Location. Calculation method is same for any size of brick.But for Calculation, I am considering mostly used size of brick.The size of Brick is 9″x 4″x 3″ (Taken as Example)
#Step 2:- Unit Conversion of BrickConverting INCH to M for ease in calculation. If you are unable to convert units use Google Conversion tools.Total Volume = 9″x4″x3″ = 0.2286m x 0.1016m x 0.0762mVolume of Single unit of Brick in Cu.m = 0.00176980 cu.m
#Step 3:- VolumeVolume required = 1m x 1m x 1mTotal Volume Required = 1Cu.m or 1m3
#Step 4 :- Volume of Each brick = 0.0017698m3No. of Bricks in 1m3 = 1/0.0017698 = 565 BricksHence, 565 bricks are required for 1 cubic metre or 1m3 of bricks.

How to Calculate Number of Bricks for Masonry Works

A brick masonry construction uses mortar as binding material for bricks. The volume of the mortar used in masonry works generally ranges from 25 to 30 % of brick masonry volume.

The thickness of mortar in brickwork is generally assumed to be 10mm or ½ inch thick. With mortar thickness, the size of such a brick becomes 200 mm x 100 mm x 100 mm (8 inch x 4 inch x 4 inch) and it is known as the nominal size of the modular brick.

For calculating the number of bricks, the thickness of plaster should be deducted from the thickness of masonry construction. For example, for a brick wall of 230mm thick, the actual thickness without plaster would be 200mm, i.e. one brick thick.

Number of Bricks for Masonry Wall ( Bricks calculator / Method )
In the Metric System:
Consider a wall with 5m length, 4m height and 200mm thickness.

Volume of brick masonry in wall = 5 x 4 x 0.2 = 4m³

Volume of one brick with mortar = 0.2 x 0.1 x 0.1 = 0.002 m³

Number of bricks = [Volume of brick masonry / volume of one brick] = 4 / 0.002 = 2000 bricks.

Thus, the number of bricks required per cubic meter = 500.

Summary:

For Brickwork of 10′ x 10′ where each Size of brick = 9″x 4″x3″

No. of Bricks without mortar = 533 bricks
The no. of bricks with mortar = 458 bricks
No. of bricks with RCC bed & mortar = 428 bricks
The quantity of mortar required = 0.42m³
Amount of cement required = 87kgs
The amount of sand = 0.36m³
