Cost of Materials. The cost of adding a new wall to a home depends on the material used. Brick walls are often an affordable option, and a hollow brick wall costs around $25.40 per square foot. Hollow bricks feature a unique design with a durable shell and a hollow space in the center of each brick. Traditional brick walls cost around $14.10 per square foot. If the wall reaches a certain height and requires additional reinforcement, most contractors will recommend the use of hollow brick walls. They can easily slide steel bars inside the bricks to reinforce the wall.
A single brick wide wall requires 60 bricks per square metre. So the first stage is just to measure the height and length (including any piers) of the wall in metres, multiply them together to give the area in square metres, and then multiply this by 60. So the total number of bricks for the wall is:ne and a half brick piers. Where one and a half brick piers are built into a single brick wall, each pier requires an additional 34 bricks per vertical metre. So the total number of bricks for the piers is: number of piers x wall height (metres) x 34 = number of bricks.
