Summary: Learn how many bricks required to build a wall, calculate number of bricks and calculate number of blocks.
Knowing how many bricks you will need to buy when constructing a wall can be a little tricky. You do not want to buy too many and end up wasting money, however you do not want too little as you will waste time and effort purchasing more.
The size of the brick you use also needs to be taken into account. The standard sized brick in the UK is 215 x 102.5 x 65mm, with 10mm mortar joints horizontally and vertically.
