Brick / Block & Mortar Quantities

[1974stephen]

Hello everyone. Brickies coming this week at short notice after another job was called off. Hence a rush to get some gear for him.

(For conservatory)

5 courses up to slab level total run 10.21m. I reckon this means I need 476 bricks with 4.65 bricks per linear metre.

One full height wall 2.1m x 3.5m. Brick on outside, block on inside.
441 bricks and 74 blocks.

What percentage for damages etc. 5%?

How much sand and cement do I need?

Thanks guys.

Ask your brickie

Also ask him how good he is, and adjust the % for damages accordingly . lol

1 kg of sand per brick and 1 kg of cement per five of sand
