How it works
- Theoretical unit count = × 1,000,000 ÷ (( + ) × ( + ))
- Whole units to order = ceil(Theoretical unit count × (1 + ÷ 100))
- Worked example
- 10 × 1,000,000 ÷ (225 × 75) × 1.05 ≈ 622.222222 → 623

Assumptions and limitations
Subtract doors and windows from the wall area yourself. This repeating face-module estimate omits edge cuts, bond patterns, corners, mortar volume and structural design. Multiple leaves need separate calculations. Confirm actual product dimensions and site waste with the supplier.
