Estimate the number of bricks, pallets and material cost for a wall, patio or masonry project.
Formula, FAQs and guidance
Brick face area equals (brick length + joint) × (brick height + joint). Net wall area equals gross area minus openings. Required bricks equal net area divided by face area, then multiplied by 1 + waste percentage and rounded up.
How much waste should I allow?
Five to ten percent is common; complex patterns and many cuts may need more.
Does this replace structural design?
No. Confirm footings, ties, reinforcement, loads and local code requirements with a qualified professional.
