Brick Wall Construction Cost Breakdown
Calculating the actual cost of brick masonry depends on many factors such as brick type, quality, mortar mix, and local labor charges. Our masonry estimators analyze each component, from the base material to labor and overheads, to give you a real-world budget expectation. This includes the use of red bricks, fly ash bricks, modular bricks, or locally sourced units. The cost also varies based on whether the structure is load-bearing or a non-structural partition.
Below is a typical breakdown of costs for brick wall construction in India, combining both material and labor rates:
| Wall Type | Thickness | Unit | Material Cost (INR) | Labor Cost (INR) | Total Cost (INR) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Red Brick Wall | 230mm | Cum | ₹3,200 – ₹4,200 | ₹3,000 – ₹4,200 | ₹6,200 – ₹8,400 |
| Red Brick Wall | 115mm | Cum | ₹2,500 – ₹3,200 | ₹2,800 – ₹3,800 | ₹5,300 – ₹7,000 |
| Fly Ash Brick Masonry | 230mm | Cum | ₹2,800 – ₹3,500 | ₹2,700 – ₹3,600 | ₹5,500 – ₹7,100 |

These rates may vary slightly depending on your city, project size, site access, and the height of the walls being constructed. We provide location-wise estimates for each project to ensure accuracy.
AAC Block Masonry Estimate (Autoclaved Aerated Concrete)
AAC block masonry has become increasingly popular across Indian cities due to its lightweight nature, thermal insulation properties, and ease of installation. These blocks reduce the dead load on buildings, resulting in lower foundation and structural costs. However, the estimation of AAC block masonry is different from brickwork because it uses thinner jointing mortar, fewer blocks per cubic meter, and a different set of tools and labor skills.
In our AAC block estimation, we include block sizes, block quantity, jointing adhesive requirements, reinforcement mesh near openings, lintel supports, and labor effort based on the wall height and thickness. These factors are essential for a reliable estimate that reflects the real execution costs on-site. Our estimates also consider mechanical and chemical anchoring systems where needed.

Stone Masonry Estimating – Natural and Rubble Masonry
Stone masonry is widely used for retaining walls, boundary walls, landscaping, and sometimes even residential or heritage structures. Estimating stone masonry requires a good understanding of natural stone availability, cutting and dressing costs, labor intensity, and extra material wastage. This type of work is labor-heavy and often involves skilled artisans.
Our stone masonry estimation covers all aspects such as stone type (random rubble or dressed), cement mortar consumption, surface preparation, leveling, pointing, and curing. We also factor in base compaction and sub-grade preparation when estimating costs for retaining walls or foundations.

This complete breakdown helps builders allocate budgets accurately and identify the correct cost per square foot or cubic meter for every type of masonry work.
Residential vs Commercial Masonry Work – Cost Comparison
Masonry costs differ substantially between residential and commercial projects. Residential projects usually involve standard wall heights, simpler layouts, and traditional materials. Commercial projects, on the other hand, require faster turnaround, greater wall heights, more advanced blocks or fire-rated masonry, and reinforced joints.
| Project Type | Avg. Rate per Sq. Ft. | Complexity Level |
|---|---|---|
| Independent Home | ₹180 – ₹300 | Medium |
| Commercial Block | ₹250 – ₹450 | High |
| School/Hospital | ₹300 – ₹550+ | Very High |
Our estimation services reflect these variations, ensuring that commercial contractors can plan for logistics, material staging, and specialized labor needs accordingly.

Plastering Cost After Masonry Work
Once masonry work is completed, plastering is the next essential step to provide a smooth, even surface for painting or tile installation. Accurately estimating plastering costs is vital to budgeting, especially when dealing with large surface areas across multiple floors. Our plaster estimation takes into account surface preparation, thickness, number of coats (single or double), plaster mix ratio (typically 1:4 or 1:6), curing duration, and scaffolding requirements.
We also factor in differences between internal plaster, external plaster, and ceiling plaster, as well as site-specific variations in labor productivity and regional material costs.
| Plaster Type | Thickness | Unit | Material Cost (INR) | Labor Cost (INR) | Total Cost (INR) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Internal Wall Plaster | 12mm | Sqft | ₹15 – ₹25 | ₹12 – ₹20 | ₹27 – ₹45 |
| External Wall Plaster | 15mm | Sqft | ₹18 – ₹30 | ₹15 – ₹25 | ₹33 – ₹55 |
| Ceiling Plaster | 10mm | Sqft | ₹16 – ₹25 | ₹14 – ₹22 | ₹30 – ₹47 |
Plastering also affects the finishing timeline of a project. A detailed plaster estimate helps site managers plan for subsequent trades like painting, waterproofing, or tile fixing without delays.
Cost of Mortar and Cement in Masonry Work
Mortar is a critical element in masonry construction, binding bricks, blocks, or stones together and filling voids between units. In most Indian projects, the commonly used mortar mix ratios are 1:4, 1:6, and 1:8 (cement:sand). The cost of mortar significantly affects the overall masonry cost, especially in large-scale constructions like apartments or commercial buildings.
Our estimators calculate the exact volume of mortar required per cubic meter of masonry, based on wall thickness, bond pattern, and wastage factor. For example, a 230mm brick wall typically requires 0.3–0.35 cum of mortar per cum of brickwork. The sand quality, location, and availability also play a major role in pricing. Cement prices vary daily and depend on the brand and region—so using updated rates is essential.
Here’s a cost overview of mortar used in masonry:
| Mortar Mix Ratio | Unit | Cement Cost (INR) | Sand Cost (INR) | Mixing Labor (INR) | Total Mortar Cost (INR) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1:4 (Strong Bond) | Per Cum | ₹4,200 – ₹4,800 | ₹1,800 – ₹2,500 | ₹1,000 – ₹1,500 | ₹7,000 – ₹8,800 |
| 1:6 (Standard Use) | Per Cum | ₹3,200 – ₹3,800 | ₹1,800 – ₹2,500 | ₹1,000 – ₹1,500 | ₹6,000 – ₹7,800 |
| 1:8 (Economical) | Per Cum | ₹2,800 – ₹3,200 | ₹1,600 – ₹2,200 | ₹1,000 – ₹1,300 | ₹5,400 – ₹6,700 |
Accurate mortar estimation helps avoid excess procurement, reduces cost overruns, and ensures the correct bond strength for walls. We also consider the type of sand (river, crushed, or M-sand) while preparing your estimate for better accuracy.

Curing, Scaffolding, and Masonry Finishing Cost
Masonry estimation is not complete without considering associated work like curing, scaffolding, and final finishing. These services add both labor and material costs to the project and are often overlooked in basic estimates. At Construction Estimator India, we include these critical components to offer a complete picture of masonry expenses.
Curing ensures strength development in cement mortar and prevents cracking. Curing typically lasts 7–10 days and may require additional labor or temporary water storage. Scaffolding, especially in multi-storey buildings, is a key part of masonry setup, enabling safe access to wall surfaces. Depending on wall height and project size, scaffolding can be made of wood, MS pipes, or modular frames. Finishing includes pointing, surface leveling, and surface preparation before plastering or painting.
Here’s a detailed breakdown of the costs involved:
| Item | Unit | Rate (INR) |
|---|---|---|
| Masonry Curing Labor | Per 1000 bricks | ₹800 – ₹1,200 |
| Temporary Water Storage | Lump Sum | ₹2,000 – ₹5,000 |
| Scaffolding Setup (MS Pipes) | Per Floor | ₹6,000 – ₹12,000 |
| Bamboo/Wooden Scaffolding | Per Floor | ₹3,500 – ₹7,000 |
| Pointing & Surface Finishing | Per Sqft | ₹12 – ₹25 |
By including these costs in our detailed estimates, we help clients avoid budget gaps and keep their construction work streamlined. Whether it’s a single-storey home or a high-rise structure, factoring in these peripheral masonry expenses ensures proper financial planning and smooth execution.
