Calculate the Area of All Walls in 12×16 Feet Room
To calculate number of bricks required for 12×16 feet room, we need to calculate the area of all walls separately because there are four walls in the room with two different sizes 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 = 16 feet
- Height of the Wall = 10 feet
The Area of Each Wall Would Be
- Wall 1: Length × Height = 12 feet × 10 feet = 120 square feet
- Wall 2: Length × Height = 12 feet × 10 feet = 120 square feet
- Wall 3: Width × Height = 16 feet × 10 feet = 160 square feet
- Wall 4: Width × Height = 16 feet × 10 feet = 160 square feet
Total Area of All Four Walls Would Be
Area of Door and Window in the Room (Openings)
- Height of the Door= 7 feet
- Width of the Door= 3 feet
- Height of the Window= 4 feet
- Width of the Window= 3 feet
Total Area of Door and Window
Net Area of Bricks Walls in 12×16 Feet Room
Covering Area of A Single Brick With Mortar Thickness in The Wall
Number of Bricks Required For 12×16 Feet Room

Total Number of Bricks in 12×16 Feet Room
Final Result
The total number of bricks required for 12×16 feet room of 4 inch wall is 2611 Nos. approximately.
So, we would need approximately 2611 bricks to cover the walls of a 12×16 feet room with four walls (4 inch thick), one gate and one window, assuming a standard wall height of 10 feet, mortar thickness of 12 mm and the standard brick size of 190×90×90 mm.
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.
