Brick & Block Quantity Calculator

Work out the masonry for a wall. Enter the length, height and thickness, pick the unit, and this gives the number of bricks or blocks plus the mortar, cement and sand — so you can order without over- or under-buying.

Mortar assumes a 10 mm joint and a 1:6 cement:sand mix. AAC blocks are often laid in thin-bed adhesive instead, which uses far less.

Indicative only. This uses nominal unit sizes, a 10 mm joint and a 1:6 mortar mix, and does not deduct openings or account for the actual unit you buy, pier/column reinforcement, or a different mix. Always allow wastage, confirm the real unit dimensions on site, and follow the mason’s and engineer’s bill of quantities for the actual order.
