Modular Brick
The standard commercial modular brick. Standard sizing makes grid spacing estimation simple.
Technical Specifications
| Parameter | Standard Value |
|---|---|
| Actual Dimensions | 3-5/8" × 2-1/4" × 7-5/8" |
| Unit Weight / Density | 4.5 lbs (2.0 kg) per brick |
| Estimated Price Range | $0.55 - $0.85 per piece |
| Nominal Size | 4" × 2-2/3" × 8" (with mortar) |
| Bricks per Sq Ft | 6.85 pieces |
| Mortar Needed | Approx. 5.5 lbs per sq ft |
Overview & Cost Implications
Modular brick dimensions are designed to fit clean grids of 4 inches (which includes a standard 3/8" mortar joint), minimizing brick cutting and maximizing build speed.
Standard Formula Used
For estimating materials quantity and weight on job sites, estimators use this mathematical model:
Bricks = Area × 6.85 INTEGRATED ESTIMATOR
