Frequently Asked Questions

Depending on the size of your project and the number of products we are estimating for in your estimation, you can expect to have your calculations and 3D graphics back between 7 to 10 days.

The accuracy of our brick and block calculations is excellent. Although this is only an estimate, we have calculated it mathematically to bring your brick and block count as close as possible to the required amount.

The quantity provided is an estimate based solely on the architectural plans submitted. It is not a final or guaranteed figure and should not be used as a definitive order quantity.

No. Your free estimation will only include the number of bricks required for the build. This estimate does not include allowances for wastage, cutting, breakage, or on-site adjustments.. The industry standard is 5% wastage. This will need to be added at the time you place your order with a supplier. If you need further assistance with this, please contact your assigned rep, whose contact details will be on your estimation results.

 

At MD Brick, our Free estimation service will count the number of bricks and/or blocks in your building project.

If you ticked the check boxes:

  • Windows
  • Lintels
  • Fibre Cement

We will provide you with a quote for the specified quantities already on your plans.

For Windows: Our quote will be for the supply of Bradnams windows

For Fibre Cement: Our quote will be for Innova Fibre Cement

For Lintels: We may need to contact you before quoting lintels, as we will want to confirm if you need galvanised or concrete lintels

All our other products can also be estimated for your project with a little more detail required – ie. size of paver required, material wanted, heights of walls and sizes and finish of blocks required. These products will not be part of your free Take Off, but can be organised for you on request.

We would love to hear from you if you have any questions or concerns after you receive your estimation results.

Your results will have the contact details of an MD Brick Sales Manager assigned to you. You are welcome to call your sales manager for any questions you may have regarding your results.

You can also call our office on 1300 884 363.

We would love to help you purchase your project materials at MD Brick. This service is provided free of charge and is non-binding. You are not obligated to purchase from MD Brick.
