How to Find Out Quantity of Bricks, Cement and Sand in 100Cft Brick wall.

Welcome back to Practical Civil Engineer's Channel,
I wish you a good day
If you are a technical person, you must have the knowledge about Quantity Surveying / Estimating and Costing in Contract Documents.
To calculate the quantity of bricks, cement, and sand required for a brick wall, you need to follow these steps:
Determine the dimensions of the wall: Measure the length, height, and thickness of the wall in meters or feet.
Calculate the volume of the wall: Multiply the length, height, and thickness of the wall to get the volume in cubic meters or cubic feet.
Calculate the number of bricks: Determine the size of the bricks you plan to use (standard sizes are typically 8x4x2 inches or 230x115x75 mm). Then calculate the volume of one brick and divide the total volume of the wall by the volume of one brick. This will give you the total number of bricks needed.
Calculate the quantity of cement and sand: The ratio of cement and sand in mortar varies depending on the strength of the wall required and the type of bricks used. A common ratio for brickwork is 1:6 (1 part cement to 6 parts sand) for general use.
Calculate the volume of mortar required by multiplying the volume of one brick by the number of bricks calculated in step 3.
Then, use the ratio of cement and sand (e.g., 1:6) to find out the volume of cement and sand required. For example, if the total volume of mortar is 0.1 cubic meters and you're using a 1:6 ratio, then the volume of cement would be (1/7) * 0.1 and the volume of sand would be (6/7) * 0.1.
Convert the volume of cement and sand to weight: Cement and sand are typically sold by weight. You'll need to know the bulk density of cement and sand in your area. Multiply the volume of cement and sand calculated in step 4 by their respective densities to get their weight.
Adjust for wastage: It's advisable to add a percentage for wastage, typically around 10% of the total calculated amount, to account for spillage, uneven mixing, and other factors.
Keep in mind that these calculations provide estimates and the actual quantities required may vary based on factors like the size and shape of bricks, the thickness of mortar joints, and the efficiency of labor. It's always a good idea to consult with a professional or experienced bricklayer for more accurate estimates.
