Formula
Wall area is length × height. Wall volume is area × wall thickness. Brick module volume includes mortar joints. Brick count = wall volume ÷ module volume, then waste is added.
Riješeni primjer
- Wall 8 m × 2.7 m, thickness 10 cm → area 21.6 m² and volume 2.16 m³
- Brick 20 × 6.5 × 10 cm, mortar 10 mm → module volume ≈ 0.00199 m³
- Base count ≈ 2.16 ÷ 0.00199 ≈ 1085.4; with 8% waste → ceil(1172.2) = 1173
Rezultat: Order 1173 bricks
How brick quantity is estimated
This calculator uses a volume method so wall thickness, brick dimensions, and mortar joints are all included in one estimate.
Why mortar joints matter
Mortar increases module size, which reduces bricks per cubic metre compared with bare brick dimensions.
Wall thickness drives quantity
For the same wall area, a thicker wall needs proportionally more bricks. Check whether your design is half-brick, one-brick, or cavity wall equivalent.
Waste depends on cuts and breakage
Add more waste for many openings, corners, decorative bonds, and on-site handling losses.
Zanimljive činjenice
Standard brick sizes vary by region
Nominal dimensions differ between countries and manufacturers, so always use the exact product size from supplier datasheets.
Mortar joint thickness affects count
Even small joint changes can shift the total by dozens of bricks on larger walls.
Openings can save significant quantity
Subtracting windows and doors early improves ordering accuracy and reduces overbuy.
Pack quantities are supplier-specific
Many vendors bundle bricks in fixed pack counts, so ordering to full packs simplifies logistics.
Bond pattern influences waste
Complex bonds and corner detailing often require extra cut bricks and higher waste allowance.
Site handling affects breakage
Transport conditions, storage, and on-site movement can increase loss beyond theoretical estimates.
Često postavljana pitanja
It depends on wall thickness, brick size, and mortar joints. This calculator uses full wall volume for a more reliable estimate.
Yes. Mortar joints are part of the module dimensions and directly affect brick count.
Around 5% can work for simple walls, while 8–12% is common for walls with more cuts, corners, and openings.
Yes. Switch to imperial mode to enter wall dimensions in feet and brick/mortar dimensions in inches.
No. It estimates brick quantity. Mortar mix and cement/sand takeoff should be calculated separately.
Bricks are ordered as whole units, and pack purchasing usually requires full pack rounding.
Enter bricks per pack and the calculator returns the rounded pack count required to cover the order quantity.
Use it only if block dimensions and joint assumptions match your project; otherwise use a dedicated block calculator.
