How to Calculate Quantity of Bricks

 

1. Determine Brick Dimensions:

   • Bricks come in various sizes, such as standard bricks (size of each Indian red brick = 9" x 4" x 3") or other dimensions for special purposes.
   • 
     
     
     
   • Note down the length, width, and height of the brick in inches.
   • 
     

2. Calculate Brick Volume:

   • Calculate the volume of one brick by multiplying its length, width, and height.
   • 
     
   • 
     

3. Determine Wall Dimensions:

   • Measure the length, width, and height of the wall or structure where the bricks will be used. Make sure to measure in inches for consistency.
   • 
     

4. Calculate Wall Volume:

• Multiply the length, width, and height of the wall to find its volume in cubic inches. This represents the space that the bricks will occupy.
• 
  
• For instance, if a wall is 14 feet long (168 inches), 13 Breadth (156 inches), and 6 foot High (12 inches), its volume would be:
