How the formula works
Bricks = (Wall Area − Openings) × Bricks per Sq Ft × (1 + Wastage/100) | Mortar = (Bricks × 0.0015) × Wall Thickness
- Wall Area = Length × Height
- Opening Area = (Doors × 21) + (Windows × 12)
- Net Wall Area = Wall Area − Opening Area
- Bricks per Sq Ft = Depends on brick size, joint thickness, and wall thickness
- Total Bricks = Net Wall Area × Bricks per Sq Ft × (1 + Wastage/100)
- Mortar Volume = Bricks × 0.0015 × (Wall Thickness / 4)
- Standard brick: 8"×4"×2.25" with 3/8" joint
- Typical brick density: 4.5 bricks per sq ft for 4" wall, 9 bricks per sq ft for 9" wall
- Mortar volume is approximate and includes 25% wastage
