Work out brick wall cost instantly with clear inputs, formula shown and shareable results.
Brick wall cost splits into materials and labour. Brick count is wall area times bricks per square metre, plus five percent for breakage and cutting: about 60 bricks per square metre for a half-brick wall in standard metric bricks, double that for a one-brick wall. Labour is normally priced per square metre of finished wall.

Bricks = area x bricks per m² x 1.05
