How can we help you?

Estimating brick masonry involves calculating the quantity of bricks, mortar, and other necessary materials, along with labor costs and potential waste. Accuracy is key to budgeting and building efficiently.

How It Works:

• Calculate the net wall area (total area minus windows, doors, etc.).

• Multiply by the material quantity needed per square foot (or square meter).

• Use our Material Configurator for accurate, hassle-free estimates!

Brick waste and chippage allowances are guided by ASTM standards, which typically permit 5–10% of a shipment to include chipped or broken bricks.

When estimating brick quantities:

Calculate the net number of bricks required.
Add at least 5% extra to account for breakage and waste during transport and installation.

Standard Allowance: +5–10%

Higher Waste Rate? Use more if your project involves complex cuts, tough site conditions, or rough handling.

For the Benefit of Our Customers

At Brick It, we are committed to delivering only fresh, high-quality materials manufactured from a single, consistent production lot. To maintain this standard and to ensure every customer receives uncompromised products, we do not accept returns on any merchandise.

Why No Returns?

Our no-return policy is not just about logistics, it's about protecting product integrity. Once materials leave our facility, they can no longer be guaranteed uncontaminated or unused. By eliminating the possibility of reselling returned goods, we ensure that:

• Every order is made-to-order from new stock
• You receive pristine materials, never leftovers, repackaged, or returned items
• Your build starts with quality you can trust

Order Modifications & Cancellations

Changes or cancellations may be possible within 24–48 hours of ordering, depending on the order's production status. Please contact our team as soon as possible to request changes.

Unclaimed Orders

Orders not picked up or delivered within 60 days of readiness will be discarded and invoiced in full. Storage space is limited, and materials are made specifically for each customer.

Pro Tip: "Measure Twice, Click Once!"

Due to our quality-first production model, please double-check your measurements and needs before placing your order.

Yes! Brick It sells to everyone — from homeowners and DIY enthusiasts to contractors, architects, and large commercial clients like chain stores and restaurants. Their streamlined process allows consistent brick sourcing across multiple locations, eliminating the hassle of local material variability.

Key Points:
- Open to all types of customers, no project too big or small.
- Ideal for businesses needing uniform brick aesthetics across different sites.
- Orders are custom and involve real labor and costs — hence, cancellations and returns are generally not feasible.
- This is a low-margin industry, so perks like free shipping aren't usually possible.

Brick It collects sales tax in states where we are registered, in compliance with local tax laws. We continuously monitor and adapt to economic nexus regulations as they evolve. Please note that sales tax is calculated based on the "ship to" address of your order.

If you are tax-exempt or have a valid resale certificate, please provide the appropriate documentation prior to placing your order so we can process it accordingly.

Shipping methods vary based on the size and weight of the order. Samples and small orders (up to 150 lbs) are typically shipped via parcel carriers such as UPS or FedEx. Most standard orders are shipped on pallets using LTL (Less Than Truckload) freight services, while larger orders exceeding 20,000 lbs are shipped via FTL (Full Truckload). We also offer shipping via rail and sea containers when applicable. Air freight is rarely used due to the product’s weight. Please note: like most construction material deliveries, shipments are typically limited to curbside drop-off.
