Brick Calculator

Calculate bricks needed for any wall, coverage area from a brick supply, or total material cost. Uses standard US modular brick dimensions with adjustable waste factor.

Formula:Bricks = Wall Area (sq ft) × 6.9 × (1 + Waste ÷ 100)

Construction

Fence Cost Calculator

Estimate total fence cost (materials + labor), calculate fence materials needed (posts, rails, pickets, concrete bags), or find the correct post burial depth for any fence height and frost line.

Formula:Total Fence Cost = Fence Length × (Material $/LF + Labor $/LF) × (1 + Contingency%)

Industry-Standard Material Estimation

Our construction calculators use proven industry formulas based on standard US material dimensions. Brick counts use the standard modular brick (3⅝" × 2¼" × 7⅝") with a ⅜" mortar joint, yielding 6.9 bricks per square foot. Always add a waste buffer for cuts and breakage.
