Approximately 6.5 modular bricks per square foot for a single wythe (4 inch) wall with standard 3/8 inch mortar joints.
Standard bricks are about 2.25 bricks per square foot (including mortar). Calculate wall area and multiply by bricks per square foot.
Measure height x length of the wall. Subtract openings (doors, windows).
Note brick dimensions - standard modular brick is 7-5/8" x 2-1/4" x 3-5/8".
Standard: ~6.5 bricks per SF for single wythe, ~13 for double wythe.
Mortar: ~3-4 cubic feet per 1000 bricks (depends on joint size).
Add 5-10% extra for broken bricks and cuts.
