Does this brick calculator include mortar thickness?

The calculator follows a direct volume method using brick dimensions and wastage. For a tender BOQ or site procurement plan, mortar joints, openings, bond pattern, and actual brick size should be reviewed by an engineer.

Which brick size should I use for Nepal projects?

Use the standard Nepal brick option for quick estimates, or select custom brick size when your supplier has provided actual brick dimensions.

Formula

How the estimate is calculated.

01
Wall Volume = Length x Height x Thickness
02
Brick Volume = Brick Length x Brick Width x Brick Height
03
Number of Bricks = Wall Volume / Brick Volume
04
Adjusted Bricks = Number of Bricks x (1 + Wastage %)
