Questions

How many bricks in 100 sq ft of a 9 inch wall?

About 900–950 standard bricks (9×4.5×3 inch) with 10 mm mortar joints, including 5% extra for breakage. Smaller local bricks need more.

How much does one cement bag cover?

One 50 kg bag is about 0.0347 m³ (1.23 cft) of cement.

How is steel weight worked out?

Weight in kg per metre = D × D ÷ 162, where D is the bar size in mm. A 12 mm bar weighs about 0.89 kg per metre.

Are these exact?

They are standard estimates used by builders. Actual use depends on brick size, joints, wastage and site work. Ask your engineer or mason before buying.
