How to calculate the block needed for construction
I am going to be using this because it is fully dimensioned
Note
Entrance door 1200x2100 mm
Room door 900x2100mm
Toilet door 750x2100mm
Toilet window 600x600mm
Kitchen 1200x1500mm
Room 2500x1500mm
Other window 1500x1500mm
Height of the building is 3m

Add all the dimensions together ,the places that is shedded black or with thick black lines indicate the block , the thick lines indicate the windows and the curve the doors , so we are adding all the black lines together
5.5+5.5+6.5+6.5+3.1+2.8+1.4=31.3
Then multiple by the height
31.3*3= 93.9m2
Deducting the doors and windows from the total square meter
Entrance 1.2*2.1= 2.52 m2 (converted to metere)
Room door = 0.9*2.1= 1.89m2
Toilet door = 0.75*2.1= 1.58
Toilet window = 0.6*0.6=0.36
Kitchen window =1.2*1.5= 1.8
Bedroom window = 2.5*1.5= 3.75
Other rooms = 1.5*15*5( 5 is the number of windows in the drawings )= 11.25
Total deduction= 23.15( total numbers of opening )
To get the total numbers of blocks needed 93.9-23.15= 70.75 m2
1 m2 is about 10blocks
71( approximately) *10 = 710 blocks
Add breakage = 800 blocks is fine to buy
