Formula used

Blocks needed = Net wall area ÷ block face area.

Blocks to buy = blocks needed × (1 + waste %) and rounded up.

Total cost = block cost + mortar cost + labor cost + rebar/grout allowance + cap row cost + delivery/misc cost.

All wall dimensions are converted to feet for the wall area calculation.

This estimate uses editable prices. Final cost can change by location, delivery distance, waste, bond pattern, reinforcement, grout fill, footings, permits, and labor rates.
