- Supports various wall types: You can choose a wall thickness of 10 cm, 15 cm, or 20 cm, adjust the mortar grooves yourself, and select the plastering method (0, 1, or 2 sides).
- Calculate total weight and number of trips: Please help estimate the transportation requirements, the number of trips needed (based on 6-wheel trucks), and the on-site load weight to ensure appropriate material ordering.
Supports deduction of opening area: Increase accuracy with the subtraction function to remove doors, windows, skylights, or other openings to find the true net wall area.

🧮 How to calculate the cost of clay bricks? (Includes calculation formula)
The basic formulas used by the program: Quantity of bricks = Net area × Number of bricks per sq.m. × Waste margin
Example calculation:
- Wall area 50 sq.m.
- Use standard clay bricks conforming to Thai Industrial Standard 77-2565 (120 bricks/sq.m.)
- In case of damage, 10%
- Way of thinking: 50 × 120 × 1.10 = 6,600 pieces
