Fired clay units for masonry walls. Modular and traditional sizes exist; mortar joints and openings drive quantity.
Educational reference only. Quantities, specifications and price ranges are indicative planning aids — verify with suppliers, codes and your engineer or contractor before purchase or construction.
Clay bricks remain common for load-bearing and partition walls where specified. Strength, water absorption and dimensional tolerance vary by kiln and region.
Use the dedicated quantity tool for planning estimates. Results are indicative — not a substitute for drawings, BOQs or supplier quotes.

Brick kiln clusters
Ex-kiln vs delivered
Clarify loading and breakage allowance.
Import to metros
Higher freight
Compare with AAC on wall system cost, not unit price alone.
Burnt clay bricks
Traditional red bricks; quality varies.
Modular bricks
Sized for modular planning with mortar joints.
Engineering / specialty
Higher strength or low absorption when specified.
Use wall area, brick size, mortar joint thickness, openings and wastage in the Brick Calculator. Reverse mode estimates coverage from a brick count.
Lightweight autoclaved aerated concrete blocks for walls. Larger unit size and thin-bed mortar change labour and adhesive estimates versus clay brick.
Hydraulic binder used in concrete, masonry mortar, plaster and screed. Bagged OPC/PPC grades are common on Indian sites.
Fine aggregate for concrete, mortar and plaster. River sand and manufactured sand (M-sand) are both used — grading and silt content matter.
Cement–sand (or gypsum) coating for walls and ceilings. Thickness and mix differ for internal vs external work.
Quantities from Brick Calculator assumptions (joint, wastage, openings). Strength design is outside this guide.
