Construction material planning

Brick Calculator

Estimate brick masonry-unit quantity from brick dimensions and an explicit mortar-joint module.

Enter wall and brick dimensions

Enter measurements and select Calculate.

Brick-specific module

Effective module width and height add the entered mortar joint to the actual brick dimensions. Net wall area divided by this module area gives base brick count before allowance.

Masonry boundary

This brick-unit model is separate from the CMU Concrete Block Calculator. It does not design mortar, ties, reinforcement, lintels, foundations, structural capacity, or code compliance.
