Brick Calculator
Calculate number of bricks needed for a wall with mortar joints.
About Brick Calculator
Simple on the surface and careful underneath, the Brick Calculator was made for builders, contractors and home owners who just want the number. Estimate the number of bricks needed for a wall by entering the wall dimensions and the brick size, with the tool applying the standard Indian modular brick of 190 by 90 by 90 mm and the mortar joint. The tool accounts for the wastage of 5 to 10 per cent that real sites see, and it shows both the brick count and the mortar volume. Indian contractors quote by the thousand bricks, so the count maps directly to the rate card, and the tool handles different wall thicknesses. Because it is a pure local calc, nothing is uploaded. It is the brick estimate that the local supplier's rate card needs before a quote. Measurements use the metric sizes standard on Indian sites - 190 mm bricks, 50 kg cement bags and metre-based schedules of rates. Real-world uses include estimating bricks for a boundary wall, quoting a brick rate for a contractor, and planning a brick order with wastage. Small screen or large, the controls stay finger-friendly and the numbers stay readable.
