How Many Bricks Required For 12×15 Feet Room?
2505 bricks required for 12×15 feet room approximately. See the full explanation in this post where we have considered four walls, one gate and one window in the room and using the standard wall height of 10 feet (only brick work) and Indian standard brick size of 190×90×90 mm. In first case the thickness of wall is 4 inch and in second case the thickness of wall is 9 inch.

Requirements and Considerations For Brick Work
Our Requirements For the Room
Our requirements for 12×15 feet room are following:- Four sided walls
- One gate
- One window
Our Consideration For the Room
- The two face to face walls size= 10 feet height × 12 feet width or 120 inch × 144 inch and
- Another two face to face wall size= 10 feet height × 15 feet width or 120 inch × 180 inch.
- One window (window size= 4 feet × 3 feet or 48 inch × 36 inch).
- One gate ( gate size= 7 feet × 3 feet or 84 inch × 36 inch).
- Brick size (Indian modular brick size or Indian standard brick size = 190 mm × 90 mm × 90 mm or 7.48 inch × 3.54 inch × 3.54 inch).
- Mortar thickness 12 mm and
- Wall thickness is 4 inch.
Calculate the Area of Each Wall (Total Four Walls):
To calculate number of bricks required for 12x15 feet room, we need to calculate the area of each wall separately because there are four walls in the room and the total area of all four walls would be the sum of the areas of each wall.
- Length of the Room = 12 feet
- Width of the Room = 15 feet
- Height of the Wall = 10 feet
The Area of Each Wall Would Be
- Wall 1: Length x Height = 12 feet x 10 feet = 120 square feet
- Wall 2: Length x Height = 12 feet x 10 feet = 120 square feet
- Wall 3: Width x Height = 15 feet x 10 feet = 150 square feet
- Wall 4: Width x Height = 15 feet x 10 feet = 150 square feet
The Total Area of All Four Walls Would Be
Subtract the Area of the Window and Gate From the Total Wall Area
- Height of the Gate= 7 feet
- Width of the Gate= 3 feet
- Height of the Window= 4 feet
- Width of the Window= 3 feet
The Area of Gate and Window Would Be
- Area of Gate in 12×15 Feet Room: Height x Width = 7 feet × 3 feet = 21 square feet
- Area of Window in 12×15 Feet Room: Height x Width = 4 feet × 3 feet = 12 square feet
The Total Area of the Gate and Window Would be
Subtracting the area of the window and gate from the total wall area, we get the net area of the walls that need to be covered with bricks:

Total Volume of Brick Work
Determine the Number of Bricks For 12×15 Feet Room
To determine the number of bricks required for 12×15 feet room area, we need to first calculate the volume of a brick with mortar.
Volume of each brick without mortar
Volume of each brick with mortar (12 mm mortar thickness)
Total number of bricks in 12x15 feet room
= Total Volume of Brick Work/ Volume of each brick = 169 cubic feet/ 0.07422 cubic feet = 2277 Bricks.
Taking 10% wastage of bricks during brick-masonry work, the total number of bricks is 2277 +10% of 2277= 2504.7 Bricks, Say 2505 Bricks.
Final Result
The total number of bricks required for 12×15 feet room of 4 inch wall is 2505 Nos. approximately.
So, we would need approximately 2505 bricks to cover the walls of a 12×15 feet room with four walls (4 inch thick), one gate and one window, assuming a standard wall height of 10 feet, mortar thickness of 12mm and the standard brick size of 190×90×90mm.
It's important to note that this calculation is an estimate and may vary depending on factors such as the pattern of the brickwork, the size of the mortar joints and the amount of waste generated during construction. It's always a good idea to order a few extra bricks than what you think you'll need in the construction.

Subtract the Area of the Window and Gate From the Total Wall Area
- Height of the Gate= 7 feet
- Width of the Gate= 3 feet
- Height of the Window= 4 feet
- Width of the Window= 3 feet
The Area of Gate and Window Would Be
- Area of Gate in 12×15 Feet Room: Height x Width = 7 feet × 3 feet = 21 square feet
- Area of Window in 12×15 Feet Room: Height x Width = 4 feet × 3 feet = 12 square feet
The Total Area of the Gate and Window Would be
Subtracting the area of the window and gate from the total wall area, we get the net area of the walls that need to be covered with bricks:
