Standard size of a metric brick is 215 x 102.5 x 65mm and a 10mm is allowed for the mortar
joints. If the wall is half brick wide then it requires 60 bricks per square metre. So, now you just
need to find the area of the wall to be build in square metre and then multiply it by 60. So the
total number of bricks needed for the wall could be;
As the same, one brick wide wall requires 120 bricks per square metre. Modify the same formula
with 120 instead of 60 to find out the number of bricks needed for the one brick wide wall. A
standard metric block size could be 450 x 215 x 100mm and a 10mm is allowed for the mortar
joints. A single block wall requires 10 blocks per square metre. So the total number of blocks
needed for the wall could be;
Finally, we could derive that Number of blocks needed for a wall = Area of wall / area of a brick
or block.
