Wall Area Calculation:

The wall area is calculated using the formula:

Wall Area = Wall Length (L) × Wall Height (H)

This area represents the total surface area of the wall that needs to be covered with bricks.

Brick Volume Calculation:

The volume of a single brick, including mortar thickness, is calculated as:

Brick Volume = (Brick Length + Mortar Thickness) × (Brick Height + Mortar Thickness) × Brick Width

This accounts for the additional volume of mortar that will be included in the wall construction.

Bricks Needed Calculation:

The total number of bricks needed is determined by:

Bricks Needed = Wall Area ÷ Brick Volume

It’s essential to note that this is a simplified calculation, assuming no gaps or wastage.

Brick Wastage Adjustment:

To account for wastage during construction, we apply:

Total Bricks = Bricks Needed + (Bricks Needed × Brick Wastage)

This ensures that there are enough bricks to complete the wall after accounting for breakage or cutting.

Cost Calculation:

The total cost of bricks is calculated as follows:

Cost of Bricks = Total Bricks × Price Per Brick

This provides an estimate of the total expense based on the quantity of bricks required.

By providing all these calculations, the Brick Calculator helps ensure accurate estimates for both the number of bricks required and the associated costs for your building project.
