How To Calculate Number Of Blocks Required For Building Construction
– Total Number of Blocks = Wall Area x Blocks per Square Foot = 300 square feet x 1.33 = 399 blocks. – Wall Area = Length x Height = 30 feet x 10 feet = 300 square feet. Calculate Block Area: – Convert the dimensions of a block from inches to feet (18 inches = 1.5 feet, 6 inches = 0.5 feet). – Block Area = Length x Height = 1.5 feet x 0.5 feet = 0.75 square feet. Estimate Number of Blocks per Square Foot: – Since each block covers an area of 0.75 square feet, you can estimate the required blocks per square foot of wall area. – Additional Blocks = Total Number of Blocks x 10% = 399 x 0.1 = approximately 40 blocks. – Blocks per Square Foot = 1 / Block Area = 1 / 0.75 = approximately 1.33 blocks. Calculate Wall Area: – Multiply the length by the height to get the wall area in square feet.
