Brick Calculator Pakistan — Count Bricks for Any Wall
This free brick calculator uses the brick calculation formula trusted on Pakistani construction sites: wall area × bricks per sq ft for your wall thickness, plus a wastage allowance. It works in the units you actually buy in — bricks per 1,000 — and shows estimated cost at current market rates.
Quick Answer
A standard Pakistani brick wall (9″×4.5″×3″ bricks) needs about 5 bricks per sq ft for a 4.5-inch (single-brick) wall and about 10 per sq ft for a 9-inch (double-brick) wall, including mortar joints and wastage. Enter your wall length and height below for an exact count and cost.
