A Brazilian construction-material calculator for estimating bricks, blocks, mortar, walls, and related quantities.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-30 issue.

Field notes

Conta Obra works from masonry dimensions and selected brick or block formats, then presents quantities in the purchasing units used by Brazilian suppliers, such as milheiro and pallet. Its examples span 10.00 to 50.00 pieces per square metre, while the methodology accounts for wall thickness, a 10 mm mortar joint, and adjustable waste. The page attributes constants to ABNT, SINAPI, or market practice, and explicitly excludes structural masonry, foundations, columns, and reinforcement.
