Calculating quantity A handy Brick Calculator also allows you to plan the quantity of bricks or pavers needed for a specific project. Not only will the Brick Calculator give you an accurate estimation of how many bricks or pavers your project will need, it will also calculate the amount of sand and cement needed for the job as well. Over and above this, the brick calculator will also determine how thick the plaster needs to be, and will revert with the quantities of sand and cement needed to mix it to the correct consistency. Utilities Under the utilities section you’ll also find the Weather Forecaster which helps you plan your build days better, as well as a handy Flashlight and a Spirit Level.
