Using a brick and block calculator provides many advantages when planning construction: accurate calculation of the amount of materials, cost savings, procurement planning, waste minimization.
The calculator uses proven formulas taking into account all wall parameters to obtain an accurate result.
Correct calculation allows you to avoid overuse of materials and unnecessary costs for the purchase of unnecessary bricks or blocks.
Knowing in advance the required amount of materials, you can plan the budget and purchases for construction.
The calculator's simple and intuitive interface allows you to quickly calculate the required amount of materials.
To get an accurate result, follow our recommendations when calculating bricks and blocks.
To calculate the brick, measure the length and height of the wall in meters, select the wall thickness (0.5, 1, 1.5 or 2 bricks), indicate the dimensions of the brick and the thickness of the seam. The calculator will automatically calculate the required amount of bricks taking into account the stock.
The amount of brick depends on the size of the brick and the thickness of the wall. For a single brick (250×120×65 mm) in a wall with a thickness of 1 brick you need approximately 50-52 pcs/m², for a one-and-a-half brick (250×120×88 mm) - 45-47 pcs/m², for a double (250×120×138 mm) - 30-32 pcs/m².
To calculate the blocks, measure the length and height of the wall, select the size of the block (gas block or foam block usually 600x300x200 mm), indicate the thickness of the wall in blocks. The calculator will calculate the required number of blocks.
For a standard block 600×300×200 mm with a wall thickness of 1 block you need approximately 8.3 pcs/m². With a thickness of 300 mm (the block is laid on its side), approximately 5.6 pcs/m² are needed.
The volume of the solution depends on the area of the wall and the thickness of the joints. For brickwork with 10 mm joints, you need approximately 0.03-0.05 m³ of mortar per 1 m² of wall. The calculator will perform the exact calculation.
For gas blocks and foam blocks, glue with a thin seam (3-5 mm) is used. Glue consumption is approximately 20-25 kg (1 bag) per 1 m³ of blocks. For a wall made of blocks 200 mm thick you need approximately 4-5 kg of glue per 1 m².
For external walls, a thickness of 1.5-2 bricks (380-510 mm) or 1 block (200-300 mm) is recommended. For internal load-bearing walls - 1-1.5 bricks (250-380 mm), for partitions - 0.5-1 brick (120-250 mm).
To calculate bricks for the whole house, calculate each wall separately, then add the results. Take into account openings (windows, doors) - their area is subtracted from the total area of the walls.
The number of bricks in a cube depends on the size. Single brick (250×120×65 mm) - approximately 512 pcs/m³, one-and-a-half (250×120×88 mm) - 378 pcs/m³, double (250×120×138 mm) - 242 pcs/m³. Excluding seams.
Calculate the total area of the walls, then subtract the area of all openings (windows + doors). Use the remaining area to calculate the number of bricks. The calculator takes this into account automatically.
The thickness of the wall in bricks shows how many bricks are laid in the width of the wall. 0.5 bricks = 120 mm, 1 brick = 250 mm, 1.5 bricks = 380 mm, 2 bricks = 510 mm. This is standard terminology in construction.
For the partition, measure the length and height, select a thickness of 0.5 bricks (120 mm) or 1 brick (250 mm). Specify the dimensions of the brick. The calculator will calculate the amount taking into account thin walls.
The cost depends on the type of brick and region. A single brick costs 8-15 rubles/piece, one-and-a-half - 10-18 rubles/piece, double - 15-25 rubles/piece. For a wall of 30 m² with 1.5 bricks you need approximately 2400 pieces, the cost will be 24000-36000 rubles.
To calculate gas blocks, calculate each wall separately. Standard gas block 600×300×200 mm. For external walls, use a thickness of 300-400 mm (the block is laid sideways), for internal walls - 200 mm. Add up the results for the total.
Brick is stronger and more durable, but more expensive and requires more time to lay. Blocks (gas block, foam block) are faster in construction, retain heat better, but are less durable. The choice depends on the project and budget.
The foam block usually has a size of 600x300x200 mm (or 600x300x300 mm). The calculation is similar to a gas block. Area of one block = 0.6 × 0.2 = 0.12 m². Quantity = Wall area / 0.12 × Thickness in blocks.
For brickwork you need approximately 0.2-0.3 m³ of mortar per 1 m³ of masonry. Depends on the thickness of the seams and the size of the brick. For blocks with a thin seam you need approximately 0.05-0.1 m³ of glue per 1 m³ of blocks.
For a garage, calculate all walls separately. Typically, a thickness of 1 brick (250 mm) is used for external walls and 0.5 brick (120 mm) for internal partitions. Take into account the gate - its area is subtracted from the area of the wall.
The standard joint thickness for brickwork is 10-12 mm. For facing masonry - 8-10 mm. Seams affect the consumption of mortar and the amount of brick. Thin seams (8-10 mm) are more economical, thick seams (12-15 mm) are easier to work with.
A stock of 5-10% of the estimated quantity is recommended. For complex shapes (bay windows, arches) - 10-15%. The stock takes into account fight, pruning, defects. The calculator automatically adds stock to the estimated quantity.
The number of blocks in a pallet depends on the size of the block and the pallet. For a block 600×300×200 mm in a standard pallet there are usually 40-50 pcs. For a block 600×300×300 mm - 32-40 pcs. Check with the supplier for the exact quantity.
For a bathhouse, calculate the walls, partitions and stove separately. For external walls, use a thickness of 1.5-2 bricks, for internal walls - 1 brick. Consider the features of bathhouse construction (insulation, vapor barrier).
The effective area of a brick is the area including seams. With a 10 mm seam, the effective area of a single brick is 0.0196 m² instead of 0.01625 m². This is important for accurate quantity calculation.
For the fence, calculate the length and height of the fence, the thickness of the posts and spans. Columns are usually made 1.5-2 bricks thick, spans - 0.5-1 bricks. Consider the gate and the gate.
The weight of the wall depends on the thickness and material. A wall made of a single brick with a thickness of 1.5 bricks weighs approximately 1800-2000 kg/m², taking into account the mortar. To calculate the load on the foundation, use a calculator.
For a house 10x10 m, calculate the perimeter (40 m) and the height of the walls. With a height of 3 m, wall area = 40 × 3 = 120 m². For blocks 600×300×200 mm you need approximately 120 / 0.12 = 1000 blocks (excluding openings and stock).
Bonding is a method of laying bricks in which the seams of one row are overlapped by the bricks of the next row. The dressing ensures the strength of the masonry. Dressing does not significantly affect brick consumption.
For the plinth, measure the perimeter and height of the plinth. Usually the base is made 1.5-2 bricks thick for strength. Calculate the volume of masonry and the amount of brick, taking into account a margin of 10-15% for uneven foundations.
The cost of masonry depends on the region and complexity. Simple masonry costs 1500-2500 rubles/m², facing - 2000-3500 rubles/m², decorative - 3000-5000 rubles/m². The price includes labor, but not materials.
For a partition made of blocks, use a thickness of 100-150 mm (the block is laid on edge) or 200 mm (standard). Measure the length and height of the partition. The calculator will calculate the number of blocks taking into account the thin partition.
Masonry mesh is a metal or fiberglass mesh laid every 3-5 rows of brick to reinforce the masonry. Does not affect brick consumption, but improves the strength of the wall.
For the stove, use refractory bricks. Calculate all surfaces of the stove separately (walls, firebox, chimney). The furnace usually requires a special calculation taking into account the design features. Contact a specialist.
The number of bricks in a pack (pallet) depends on the size of the brick and pallet. Single brick - approximately 300-330 pcs/pallet, one-and-a-half brick - 200-240 pcs/pallet, double - 150-180 pcs/pallet. Check with the supplier for the exact quantity.
For a garage made of blocks, calculate all the walls. Typically a thickness of 200 mm is used for external walls (1 block) and 100-150 mm for partitions (block on edge). Take the gate into account when calculating the area.
Thermal engineering calculation determines the thickness of the wall to retain heat. For a brick wall in central Russia you need approximately 640-770 mm (2.5-3 bricks) without insulation. With insulation, the thickness can be reduced.
