Bricks calculation formula and calculation in cubic meter

Bricks calculation formula

Bricks calculation formula is written below.

In feet

• Length of wall in feet x height of wall in feet x thickness of wall in feet x 13.5 = number of bricks

In meter

• length of wall in meter x height of wall in meter x thickness of wall in meter x 500 = number of bricks

 Number of bricks in 1 Cubic meter brickwork

Standard dimensions of brick in metric units are 225 x 112.5 x 75 mm.

1. multiply these dimensions to get volume of a brick, 0.225 m x 0.1125 m x 0.075 m=0.00189 cubic meter.
2. In one cubic meter, number of bricks will be (1/0.00189)=529.1 bricks.
3. 10% of brickwork will be covered by mortar.
4. Subtract 10% bricks from the 529.1, we will get 529.1-52.91=476.20 bricks.
5. Add 5% wastage of bricks.
6. 5% of 476.20 is 23.80 bricks.
7. Add 23.80 and 476.20 to get number of bricks in one cubic meter brickwork.
8. 23.80+476.20=500 bricks.
