Bricks Estimator vs Block Calculator

Calculate how many bricks / blocks you need for your project. Based on the area of the wall (pathway, patio, etc) and the brick size the App quickly calculates how many bricks are required. The results can me texted / emailed as needed. Optionally adjust the brick requirements for mortar joints and any bricks that might be wasted during the building process.
