I am helping my brother in planning and supervising the construction of his second house in Dehradun. It took me by surprise to realize how important it is to get such details before even beginning to skim through contractors and builders. They all have different requirements and some may make sense to you but others won’t. To have a general understanding on how many bricks per square feet will be required, I went to ask a known builder in our area. He explained it to me using some calculations. I am going to list it out for you.

Generally the size of the brick in India is 9” x 4.5 “ x 3”
Taking that into consideration, let us calculate
how many bricks used in 1 square feet
:
Wall area = 1sq.ft
Cement mortar's thickness = 0.5" (approximately)
Brick thickness = 9"
Size of a brick including mortarBrick size including mortar = 0.5” (9″×4.5″×3″)
Brick size including mortar = 9.5″×5″×3.5″
Volume of a brick including mortar:9.5″×5″×3.5″ = 166.25 cubic inch
Brick wall volume:Area × brick wall's thickness
= 1 sq.ft × 9″ (1sq.ft =144 square inch)
= 144″×9″ = 1296 cubic inch
Therefore,
how many bricks per square feet:
Amount of bricks= Brick wall's volume/ one brick wall's volume including mortar
Amount of bricks= 1296/166.25 =7.8
Assuming 10% bricks will be wasted then the total bricks required will be 7.8 + 0.78, i.e. 8.58 bricks.
To round off we can say that we’ll need 9 bricks for 1 sq ft. Give your home walls a fresh coat of paint by professionals. Book NoBroker Painting services and get rewardsI hope this answers your query
