Construction calculator online wall calculation. The best construction programs. Necessary parameters for calculation actions

Initial data

Step 1: The calculator is designed to calculate any types of building blocks. To begin, set the exact dimensions of the building block without taking into account the masonry joint. Be careful here: set the length, width and height of the block in relation to how the block will lie in the masonry. Next, enter such building parameters as the height of the wall and the total length of the wall along the outer perimeter of the building.

Step 2: Then indicate how the blocks will be stacked. The thickness of future walls directly depends on these data. This can be a structure of half a block (the thickness of the wall will be equal to the width of the block) or a whole block (the thickness of the wall will be equal to the length of the block). Choose the installation method depending on the designed number of storeys of the building, the type of floors and other features of the structure.

Step 3: To make the calculation more accurate, it is necessary to take into account the thickness of the masonry joint, consisting of mortar, or glue and other materials. Sometimes the thickness of horizontal and vertical seams is different.

Step 4: To calculate the masonry mesh, you need to decide how many rows you will lay it in. You don’t have to enter data about it by leaving the “Ignore” option in the column. Or count it, indicating that it lies through the Nth number of rows.

Step 5: Block weight is an optional parameter. But if you want to calculate the approximate weight of the finished walls and the load from the walls on the foundation, then it is still advisable to indicate it. Price is also an optional parameter. Specify it if you want to calculate the total cost of blocks.

Step 6: To take into account the gables of the building, as well as windows, doors and additional openings in the calculations, check the appropriate boxes and set the necessary parameters in the list that appears.

Step 7: After filling in all fields, click the "Calculate" button. You can print the results obtained or send them by email.

For convenience, it is better to count the various elements of the building separately. For example, external walls and interior partitions may differ both in height and in the way the blocks are laid. In this case, perform two independent calculations.

Explanation of calculation results

Building perimeter	The sum of the lengths of all walls taken into account in the calculations
Total masonry area	The area of the outer side of the walls. Equals the area of the required insulation, if it is included in the project
Wall thickness	The thickness of the folded wall, taking into account the mortar joint(s). Minor deviations from the final result are allowed depending on the masonry method
Number of blocks	The total number of all blocks required to build walls according to the specified parameters
Total weight and volume of blocks	Net weight and volume of blocks (excluding mortar and masonry mesh). This information may be useful for choosing a delivery method.
Quantity of mortar for the entire masonry	The volume of mortar that will be required to lay all the blocks. Deviations in the indicator are allowed. Depends on the ratio of components and added additives
Number of rows of blocks including seams	It is determined by the height of the walls, the size of the materials used and the thickness of the masonry mortar. Gables are not taken into account
Optimal wall height	The recommended height of a wall made of blocks, which, as a rule, should be a multiple of the height of the block itself along with the seam. You may agree with this recommendation - then recalculate by entering a new value for the height of the walls in the calculator
Quantity of masonry mesh	Required quantity of masonry mesh in meters. Used to reinforce masonry, increasing solidity and overall strength of the structure
Approximate weight of finished walls	Weight of finished walls, taking into account all building blocks and masonry mortar, but excluding the weight of insulation and cladding
Load without taking into account the weight of the roof and ceilings. This value is needed to select the strength characteristics of the foundation

Before starting construction work, it is necessary to determine the amount of materials used. We are talking about bricks, of course, it will not be possible to calculate the exact quantitative value down to one piece, but you will get an approximate volume figure from which you can start.

Design data for construction

Why do you need a preliminary calculation of the number of brick products? It will help you decide on volumes and not buy too much. And for high-quality construction, it is advisable to use blocks from the same batch, because products from different purchases may differ in shades, which are obtained with different clay consistencies during production. Shades that are different from each other will significantly degrade the appearance.

Necessary parameters for calculation actions

For the perimeter you will need the size of the walls.
Structure height.
Type of building material used: single, one-and-a-half or double brick monolith.
The type of layout that will be used for construction.
Seam thickness. For horizontal ones, the standard is 12mm, and for vertical ones – 10mm.

Depending on the type of monolith and installation, you can create a table with average consumption rates of building materials per 1 square meter. These tabular indicators can be used for many methods of laying schemes.

view of the clinker width layout	brick product used	number of units taking into account the width of the seams	number of units not including seams
two and a half	250x120x65	1 5 5	3 1 7
	250x120x88	1 9 5	2 3 5
	250x120x138	1 3 0	1 5 0

	250x120x88	1 5 6	1 9 0
	250x120x138	10 4	1 2 0
one and a half	250x120x65	1 5 3	1 8 9
	250x120x88	1 1 7	1 4 0
	250x120x138	7 8	9 0

	250x120x88	3 9	4 5
	250x120x138	2 6	3 0

Varieties of layout affect the width of the wall layer. It will depend on how the installation work will be carried out:

with a folding half version, the width will be in millimeters - 120;
for laying in 1 product it will increase to 250;
at 1.5, respectively, 380;
for 2.0 the thickness will be 510;
with the 2.5 option, the layer is presented as 640;

Calculation sequence

We calculate the perimeter of the building. To do this, we summarize the lengths of the outer wall surfaces.
Determine the area. We multiply the sum of the walls by the height of the room.
Using the list presented above, we determine the number per 1 m², knowing the dimensions of the clinker for construction and the width of the wall layer.
We multiply the found value by the area of the building, and get the required amount for the entire structure. The resulting figure is rounded up during the calculation process.

Calculation example

Material calculation table

Our future building according to the project has walls of 12 m, 10 m, 12 m, 10 m. The height of the building is 3 m. Laying is done in 1.5 bricks, for this work a one and a half block is taken.

We determine the sum of the lengths, it is equal to 12+10+12+10=42 m.
We calculate the area 42*3=126 m².
Using the table, we select a value taking into account seam joints for masonry of 1.5 bricks, it is equal to 117.
We calculate the number of bricks 126*117=14742 pcs.

For the given building parameters, we need 14,750 pieces of building material.

IMPORTANT! Do not forget that up to 7% of the purchased product will be defective; therefore, the quantity must be purchased taking into account this amendment.

Of course, you can calculate the necessary building materials using calculators, which will be offered to you on many construction sites. But as you have seen, the independent option will not be difficult. You can use the online assistant to check your own results.

The best way to quickly estimate costs

Before you begin the pleasant and at the same time exciting procedure of building a future family nest, you need to conduct a financial analysis of the issue and clearly define the acceptable level of expenses for creating a residential building. If you have already decided on building materials, then an approximate online calculation of the cost of construction can be made directly on the company’s website. An intelligent calculator will allow you to create a preliminary estimate online, while it will take into account the area of the house, the type of foundation, the material of the walls and roof.

In addition, you can choose one of two options for finishing the facade, installing heating, electrical, water supply systems, and add to the estimate the costs of additional insulation and autonomous sewerage. The cost calculator for building a country house will take into account all your wishes and display the approximate cost. Of course, the geolocation of the site, the season of work and the complexity of the project will adjust its cost. Therefore, we recommend contacting the company manager to clarify the estimate.

Select total area

The total area according to SNiP is the sum of the areas of all floors of the house, calculated along the internal contour of the external walls (including stairs, internal walls and partitions).

The area of balconies, loggias, porches, terraces and verandas is calculated with reduction factors from 0.3 to 1. The area of the attic is calculated up to vertical walls 1.5 m high, with a roof slope of 30 degrees. Below 1.5 to 0.9 m with a coefficient of 0.7. Below 0.9 m is considered a blind zone.

If you have difficulty calculating the total area, contact our specialists. There is also an imperial method - add 20% to the “total area” indicated in the standard project. As practice shows, for a two-story house the error will be 3-5 m2.

Foundation

Choose a foundation

The foundation is the foundation of the house. His choice primarily depends not on personal preferences, but on the geological structure of the soil at the construction site and the selected design solutions for the future home.

The foundations we use with their design features ensure load-bearing capacity for any technology of walls, ceilings, roofs and facades we offer. However, weak soils or high groundwater levels may require adjustments to the type or design features of the foundation.

Select walls

1. Aerated concrete blocks
Aerated concrete and gas silicate blocks (not to be confused with foam concrete) are manufactured in a factory with strength gained in autoclave ovens. The blocks have an ideal geometry, which allows them to be laid on thin-seam glue with the absence of cold bridges. Aerated concrete blocks with a density of 400 and 500 kg/m3 allow you to build houses of up to 3 full floors without the use of reinforcing monolithic frames. A block thickness of 400 mm is sufficient for construction in the Moscow region using modern heating technology.
2. Large format ceramic blocks
Large-format ceramic blocks (warm ceramics) replaced piece solid bricks. Sawdust is added to the clay and when fired, it burns out leaving small closed pores, due to which the blocks have very good thermal performance indicators. To preserve heat in the masonry, the blocks are laid on a special heat-insulating mortar with perlite, and thanks to the tongue-and-groove system, they can do without filling the vertical joints with mortar. A thickness of 440 mm is sufficient for the Moscow region.
3. Monolithic (fixed formwork Plastbau)
Swiss Plastbau technology is a monolithic construction technology using permanent formwork made of expanded polystyrene. Wall panels are completely manufactured in the factory, including the reinforcement frame, and delivered to the site cut to fit a specific house project. Factory production allows you to obtain the ideal geometry of wall panels, which only need to be mounted and concrete added. The outer layer of insulation is 100 mm, and the inner layer is 50 mm. Such insulation is not only sufficient, but also exceeds the requirements for the Moscow region, i.e. This is already an energy efficient technology.
4. Monolithic (permanent Velox formwork)
The Austrian Velox technology is a monolithic construction technology using permanent formwork made from chip-cement slabs. The slabs are manufactured in a factory in standard sizes 500x2000x35 mm; the outer layer uses 150 mm thick polystyrene foam insulation, which exceeds modern heating engineering requirements for the Moscow region. The slabs are easily installed on site, additionally reinforced and filled with concrete. In the built box of the house, the effect of a wooden house is felt, thanks to the smell of wood.
5. Monolithic (fixed formwork Durisol)
The Austrian Durisol technology is a monolithic construction technology using permanent formwork made from wood-chip cement blocks. The blocks are manufactured in a factory; the external blocks use 150 mm thick polystyrene foam insulation, which exceeds modern heating engineering requirements for the Moscow region. The blocks are easily installed on site, additionally reinforced and filled with concrete. In the built box of the house, the effect of a wooden house is felt, thanks to the smell of wood.
6. Expanded clay concrete blocks
Expanded clay concrete multi-slotted blocks around the perimeter of all load-bearing walls of the house. Non-load-bearing partitions made of gypsum tongue-and-groove slabs.

Walls are what, as a rule, everyone calls a house built from. “What is your house made of? Brick, what about yours? And mine is made of aerated concrete.”

Of course, the house consists not only of walls, but the customer’s choice is primarily based on their choice.

All wall technologies we use comply with current heating engineering standards in accordance with SNiP for the Moscow region. There are also technologies for increased energy saving, mainly using permanent formwork.

And of course, each technology provides sufficient load-bearing capacity to build a house up to 3 floors inclusive.

Floors

Select floors

Floors, the design of which was developed by our company, allows spans of up to 6-6.5 m to be covered. As a rule, in country houses, spans range from 3 to 6 m. For larger spans, additional reinforcement and strengthening of structures will be required.

We use only modern monolithic or precast monolithic reinforced concrete floors and practically do not work with floors made of wooden beams or prefabricated reinforced concrete hollow slabs.

All types of floors we use provide sufficient load-bearing capacity, fire resistance and sound insulation.

Select roofing

The roof is an important component of the constructive solution of the future home. Not only the appearance, but also the protection of the building from precipitation depends on its choice.

The entire roof structure is made of wood impregnated with fire and bioprotective compounds. The rafter structure is designed for any type of roofing.

The roofing itself can be chosen based purely on personal preference. Of course, you should pay attention to the service life of the roof. We use roofing materials designed for a service life of 20 years.

Standard equipment "warm circuit"

Select facade

The facade is the first thing that any person pays attention to when looking at a house. One glance is enough to tell whether he likes the house or not.

The choice of facade finishing depends solely on the personal preferences and financial capabilities of the customer. But regardless of this, the facade, in the solutions we have chosen, will provide protection for load-bearing structures from the effects of weather conditions.

The fundamental difference in the finishing materials of the facade is whether it is masonry or adhesive material. For example, facing brick is a masonry material; it rests directly on the foundation or console. Decorative plaster or stone is a material adhesive to load-bearing walls that transfers the load to the foundation through the load-bearing walls.

Select windows

Windows are an important component of a country house. Natural insolation of the premises occurs through them.

Windows must be of high quality, because... up to 30% of heat loss in the entire house goes through them. For example, the average thermal resistance of an external wall is 3-3.5 m2C/W, and that of windows is 0.6-0.8 m2C/W, i.e. Through 1 m2 of glazing surface, 5 times more heat is lost than through a wall.

This should be taken into account when choosing a project with floor-length panoramic windows; an in-floor convector should be installed under each window.
