Face Brick

First find the area in sq. ft. for face brick:

Rectangle of wall 18' × 25' = 450 sq. ft.

Gable triangle 12' × 25' = 300 - 2 = 150 sq. ft.

Total area 600 sq. ft.

Deduct the 5 window openings, thus:

4 × 3'-6" × 5'-2" = 72-1/3 sq. ft.

1 × 2'-6" × 4'-2" = 10-5/12 sq. ft.

Window openings to be deducted 83 sq. ft.

=Total area to be covered with face brick= 517 sq. ft.

By Table 1, it takes 6.5 standard

size face brick per sq. ft. for Running

Bond with a 3/8" joint.

Hence, 517 × 6.5 = 3,360

Add 16-2/3% as per Table 2 560

-----

Number of face brick required 3,920

=Total of face brick to be ordered= 4,000
