Assumptions
This engine reuses MasonPal's current wall estimating rules.
- Single-skin brick walls use 60 bricks per m2.
- Concrete block walls use 10 blocks per m2.
- Brick wall double-skin mode doubles the core brick quantity.
- Totals stack materials, labour, markup, then VAT.
What this is for
The public engine is for early budgeting. MasonPal builder accounts add customers, jobs, and saved quotation records on top.
