500 maxi bricks covers 15.2 square meters. this is how to find it. maxi brick (290 x 140 x 90) converted to meters plus the minimum mortar thickness of 10mm. we are only going to concentrate on the (lenght x height) of the brick which gives us ((0.29+0.01(mortar thickness)) x (0.9 + 0.01(mortar thickness)) = 0.03. thus 1/0.03= 33 bricks per square meter. Therefore 500/33=15 square meters
7 bags cement
are these concrete blocks and allowing for mortar. 12.5 per square metre, 62.5 per cubic metre with mortar
1. it should be bricks 2. depends how big your bricks are
you need 600 brick for a single skin wall 1 square meter and 1200 for a double skin wall
60 bricks to 1 square metre for a wall 1 brick thick. 120 bricks to 1 square meter for a 2 brick thick wall. 10 standard concrete blocks to 1 square metre. 6 bricks equal 1 block. 1kg of mixed mortar per brick laid and 2.25 kg per block laid. On average use 5 wall ties in cavity wall construction per metre square

The answer will depend on how large each brick is.

one cubic meter is equivalent to 1000 cubic decimeters or 1000 liters. assuming the amount of mortar used has a volume of 2/3 of 1 brick (figuring on standard red brick of 2.5 x 5 x 10 inch bricks) per brick, then the amount of mortar used will be about 333 1/3 liters. if 1/3 of the volume of the mortar is water then the dry ingredients are equal to 222.222 liters. of that: 1/6 of the dry ingredients are portland cement if you are using a 3:2:1 (sand, lime, cement) or 37.04 liters.

0.3 cubic meter cement mortar consumes.
That depend on the size of each brick of course. 500 standard masonry brick that are 230 * 110 * 76 millimeters have a volume of almost exactly 1m3 This is without any mortar
1130
in face we calculate around 60 bricks.. but behind the wall there are double bricks in of footer brick... so calculate the footer brick as a double...
