Masonry Estimator
Calculate precise quantities of bricks, blocks, mortar, and plastering materials for any wall construction project.
What is the Masonry Estimator?
The Masonry Estimator is a comprehensive tool for calculating all materials needed for wall construction. Input wall dimensions, openings (doors, windows), and material specifications to get instant quantity breakdowns for bricks or blocks, mortar (cement and sand), and plastering materials. The tool supports multiple brick sizes, block types, and mortar ratios, making it suitable for any masonry project from simple partition walls to complex load-bearing structures.
