Quick FAQ

Does this calculate mortar volume?
It estimates unit count and allowance. Mortar volume depends on joint thickness, unit shape, waste, and construction method.

Can I use it for blocks as well as bricks?
Yes, if you enter the actual unit dimensions and wall area. The math is based on coverage per unit.

Should openings be subtracted?
Yes. Subtract doors, windows, and other openings before adding waste or breakage allowance.

Why add waste?
Cutting, breakage, rejected units, and site handling usually require extra units beyond the exact geometric count.
