FAQ
How are bricks calculated?
Wall area (m²) × bricks per m² × (1+waste). With standard brick (190×90×57mm) and 10mm joints, 0.5B is about 75/m², 1.0B is 149/m², 1.5B is 224/m².
What do 0.5B and 1.0B mean?
Wall thickness in masonry terms. 0.5B is a half-brick thickness (~90mm), 1.0B is a full-brick thickness (~190mm). Thicker walls need more bricks per m².
What waste margin?
Usually 3-5% for breakage and cutting; more for curved or complex work.
Is mortar included?
No, this counts bricks only. Mortar is separate (roughly 0.3-0.4 m³ per 1,000 bricks).
Brick size differences?
Standard is 190×90×57mm. Facing or red bricks may differ, changing the per-m² count, so check your brick spec.
