Ordering Information & Estimation Form

How To Estimate Your Order

Amazon Forms will calculate your order from your floor plans. Mail, Fax or Email them to us.

Also, you may do your own calculations.  We have included an excel worksheet to help with this job. Instructions are included in the file on the first page.


Useful Facts

Here are some useful facts to help you estimate the amount of blocks needed for your job:

  • For Every 100 square feet of wall, the following is required:
  • 18.76 Grid-Wall blocks @ 75 lbs. each or 1400 lbs.
  • 1 cubic yard of concrete @ 3400 lbs.
  • 150' of #4 rebar, at approximately 0.6 lbs. /linear foot, or 90 lbs.

The total weight, then, is 4,890 lbs. /100 square feet of wall or approx. 50 lbs. per square foot of wall. Multiply your plate height by 50 lbs. for the load per linear foot on your foundation. Note: Final lineal weight of the wall will vary with choice of wall coverings. Total load must include roof systems and additional floors.
