OSE bricks are 4x6x12 inches. Stacked at 1 foot thickness, there are 32 sq ft x 6 bricks per sf so 192 bricks per wall. Counting extras for defects, we may say 200 bricks per wall. Thus, the total number of bricks for the Seed Eco-Home is 27x200=5400 bricks.
Brick requirement specification is more relevant if measured per cubic foot. If brick height is uneven, then we want to talk about the cubic feet of block required.
108 feet of wall for the Seed Eco-Home means 27 wall sections. + 11 framed wall sections. Total block is 27*32 cubic feet - of 864 cubic feet.
