Estimate Brick, Cement and Sand for Brickwork

Purpose

The "Estimate Brick, Cement and Sand for Brickwork" function helps users calculate the quantity of bricks, cement, sand, and labor required for a brickwork project based on the input dimensions and ratios.

Use Cases

• Construction projects involving brickwork
• Estimating materials and labor costs for brickwork

How to Use

1. Enter the dimensions and details required for the calculation.
2. Click on the "Calculate" button to get the estimated quantities of bricks, cement, sand, and labor.

Input Values

1. Brick Length: Length of a brick (default unit is inch)
2. Brick Width: Width of a brick (default unit is inch)
3. Brick Height: Height of a brick (default unit is inch)
4. Work Thickness: Thickness of the brickwork (default unit is inch)
5. Work Length: Length of the brickwork area (default unit is foot)
6. Work Width: Width of the brickwork area (default unit is foot)
7. Cement-Sand Ratio: Ratio of cement to sand
8. Sand Part: Part of sand in the mortar mix
9. Mortar Dry Volume Factor: Factor for dry volume of mortar
10. Mortar Thickness: Thickness of the mortar layer (default unit is inch)
11. Cement Bag Volume: Volume of a cement bag (default unit is cubic foot per bag)
12. Brick Wastage: Percentage of wastage in brick usage
13. Skilled Labour: Volume of work a skilled laborer can do in a day (default unit is cubic foot per manday)
14. Unskilled Labour: Volume of work an unskilled laborer can do in a day (default unit is cubic foot per manday)

Output Values

1. Total Number of Bricks: Number of bricks needed
2. Total Cement Volume: Volume of cement required (in bags)
3. Total Sand Volume: Volume of sand required (converted to cubic feet)
4. Brick Work Volume: Volume of the brickwork area (converted to cubic feet)
5. Skilled Labour: Number of skilled laborers required (in mandays)
6. Unskilled Labour: Number of unskilled laborers required (in mandays)

Any other Instruction

• Ensure all input values are entered correctly to get accurate estimates.
• Pay attention to the units of measurement for input values.
• Click on the "Calculate" button only once to avoid duplicate calculations.

Code Analysis
