Quantities for 1 cu m of Brick work
Calculation of quantities for brick work
• Take a wall of 30cm nominal thickness of
20m length & 5m height.
Nominal volume = 20 x 0.3 x 5 = 30 cum
• Normally mortar joint will be less than 1
cm , taking 1 cm mortar joint , the actual
thickness of wall be 29 cm.
• Therefore actual volume = 20 x 0.29 x 5 =
29 cum.
Number of standards bricks of 20cm x
10cm x 10cm x nominal size = 29 / 0.20 x
0.10 x 0.10 = 14500 nos.
• Therefore number of bricks per cum (
nominal ) = 14500 / 30 = 484 nos.
Considering 5% breakages, wastages, etc.
this may be taken 500 numbers per cum.

Mortar :-
Mortar requirement
= total volume of Bk. Work minus net volume of
bricks
= 29 – ( 0.19 x 0.09 x 0.09 x 14500 )
= 29 – 22.315
= 6.685 cum.
For frog filling , for use of cut bricks, for
bonding, for uniform joints, wastages etc. 15%
extra mortar may be required.
Therefore , the volume of mortar
= 6.685 + 6.685 x 0.15
= 7.688 cum
For dry volume increase by ¼ dry volume of
mortar = 7.688 + 1.911 = 9.61 cum
For 30cum of brick work , dry volume of mortar
=9.61 cum. Therefore for 10cum of brick work,
dry volume of mortar = 9.61 x 10/30 = 3.2 cum
In practice , 3.0 cum cement mortar in dry state
of mortar are taken for 10cum brickwork. As an
approximate 30% dry mortar may be taken.

• Method of calculation of quantities for
brick work
• Volume of dry mortar = 30% of
volume of brick work
• Hence , if Y mᵌ of Brick Work in cement
Mortar 1:4 –
• Volume of mortar required = 0.30 x Y
• Volume of cement = 1 / (1+4) x 0.30 Y
• Sand = 4 / (1+4) x 0.30 Y

Notes:
1. Number of Bricks = 500
2. Volume of one bag of cement =
0.035 mᵌ
3. In half brick masonry (115 mm
thick ), from surface area
consideration , 1sq m of area
contains about 50 bricks.

Calculation of quantities for stone work
• Rubble required for the masonry work will be about 25% more than the quantity
of said masonry work ; i.e. for 1 cum masonry work , rubble required will be 1.25
cum .
• For 1 cum of masonry work , mortar required will be 0.30 cum.
