To use the Concrete Volume Calculator , simply enter the width, length, and thickness of your pour, click on whether you are measuring the thickness in feet or inches, then click on the Calculate button. The calculator will estimate the number of cubic yards of concrete that will be required.

To use the Block Wall Calculator, simply enter the height and length of the wall, click on whether you are filling an 8-inch or 12-inch wall, then click on the Calculate button. The calculator will estimate the number of cubic yards that will be required. Note that this is an estimate. There is significant variation in fill space among different blocks. This calculator assumes the use of double open-ended bond beam blocks.

To use the Concrete Column Calculator , simply enter the height and diameter of the column, and click on the Calculate button. The calculator will display the number of cubic yards required.

BLOCK 
3 Bags Mortar per 100 Block (35 Block per Bag) 1000 Ib.
Sand per 100 Block 
1.125 Block per sq.ft. of Wall Area 
75% of Wall Length give Block per Course 
Number of Courses = 1.5 X Height of wall 

BRICK 
Approx. 7 Bag of Mortar per 1000 Brick 
Approx. 1 Ton Sand per 1000 Brick 
Figure 7 Brick per Sq. Ft. (Allows for Waste) 4.625 Courses
Brick per foot of Wall Height 
5 Brick per Sq.Ft. for Pavers, Hearths

WALLTIES 
1 per every 10 Brick (100 Wall Ties per 1000 Brick)

CEMENT PLASTER
