Brick Quantity Calculator

Estimate the blocks, cement, and sand your project needs — before you order.

Wall block estimator

Enter your wall dimensions. Assumes a 10 mm mortar joint on all sides.

How it's calculated

Wall area = length × height

Block face with 10 mm joint = (0.39 + 0.01) × (0.19 + 0.01) = 0.08 m² → 12.5 blocks per m²

Blocks = area × 12.5 × (1 + wastage%)

Mortar volume = wall volume − block volume ≈ 7.4% of (area × block thickness), plus 33% extra as dry volume

Cement (1:5 mix) = dry mortar ÷ 6 ÷ 0.0347 m³ per 50 kg bag

Sand = dry mortar × 5 ÷ 6

Paving block estimator

Interlock pavers are laid on a compacted sand bed — no mortar needed.

How it's calculated

Blocks = area × blocks-per-m² × (1 + wastage%)

Uni / Cobel cover ~50 per m²; Eliyana ~100 per m².

Bedding sand = area × 0.05 m (compacted 50 mm sand bed)

Disclaimer: These results are estimates only, based on standard block sizes, a 10 mm mortar joint, and typical site conditions. Openings (doors, windows), site wastage, and workmanship vary — always confirm final quantities with your contractor or our sales team before ordering.
