A planning estimate from common sizes: a window counts as about fifteen square feet and a door as about twenty-one, modular brick weighs about four and a half pounds, a pallet holds about five hundred, and one bag of mortar mix lays about eighty-five bricks. We measure your real wall and order to the true plan.

About the brick counter
How are the bricks counted?
The wall area, less the windows and doors, is divided by the face area of one brick plus its mortar joint, then a waste allowance is added for cuts and breakage.
Why does the joint size matter?
A thicker joint makes each brick take up more room, so fewer bricks cover the same wall. The counter updates as you change it.
Does this replace a take-off?
No. It is a planning estimate. We measure your real wall, subtract the true openings and order to the exact plan.
