Helpful Tools and Consideration

Here are 5 important facts to consider when calculating how many concrete blocks you need for building a wall:

The height and length of the wall are critical for determining the total area. Multiplying these dimensions will give you the wall’s surface area, which helps calculate the number of blocks required.

Concrete blocks come in various sizes, such as 440mm x 215mm for standard blocks. Ensure you know the exact dimensions of the blocks you’re using to get an accurate estimate.

Standard mortar joints are typically 10mm thick. Including this in your calculations ensures you account for the space between blocks, which affects the total number required.

Consider any openings like doors, windows, or vents in the wall. Subtract their areas from the total wall area to avoid overestimating the number of blocks needed.

It’s essential to include a wastage factor of around 5-10%. This accounts for broken blocks, cutting waste, or unexpected adjustments during construction.

By considering these factors, you can calculate the correct number of concrete blocks and avoid costly mistakes in your blockwork project.
