Key points
- Standard modular brick 190 × 90 × 90 mm; ~500 bricks per 100 sq ft of 9" wall.
- Deducts opening area from wall area before counting.
- Adds mortar cement and sand for 1:6 masonry mortar.
Formula & how it works
Net area = (L × H) − (doors + windows).
Bricks per sq ft: 4.5" = 5.3, 9" = 10.7, 13.5" = 16 (approx).
Wastage % applied on top.
Worked example
- Wall 20 × 10 ft, 9", one 20 sq ft door → net 180 sq ft.
- 180 × 10.7 × 1.05 ≈ 2,022 bricks.
- Mortar ≈ 5 bags cement + 48 cft sand for a full wall.
Expert tips & mistakes to avoid
- Always add a 5–7% wastage buffer — mid-slab shortages cost more than the buffer bags.
- For engineered members (RCC columns/beams), follow the structural drawing over any calculator.
- Order cement in tranches — bags older than 90 days lose strength.
- Confirm the current market rate on WhatsApp before finalising the budget — prices printed here are indicative only.
Frequently asked questions
Should I use fly-ash bricks instead?
+
Fly-ash bricks are lighter and dimensionally consistent; cost slightly higher and local mason familiarity matters. Use the Block calculator for AAC/fly-ash.
How much wastage is realistic?
+
5% for a supervised site, up to 8% for corners-heavy plans. Under 3% is optimistic.
