Brick calculators
Counts from wall areas with openings and waste.
Wollopit for bricklayers
Bricklayers: count the bricks before you lay them. Bricks, mortar and labour from the plans.
Brick counts on a calculator, mortar guessed and builder claims chased. We build calculators and job systems for bricklaying businesses.
Looking for a brick calculator or bricklaying quote software?
Brickwork quotes depend on wall areas, openings, brick sizes, bonds and access. We build tools that take measurements from the plans and work out the numbers properly.
Wollopit builds job systems, quoting tools, booking systems and websites for bricklayers around how you actually work. We connect the apps you already use, replace the ones holding you back and look after the lot on our own servers, so you can get back on the tools.
01The problems
What we hear from bricklayers
Does your bricklaying business have these problems? Here's how we'd fix them.
Most bricklayers we talk to are flat out on the tools all day, then doing the paperwork at night. It works, right up until the busy season.

05How we work
The process
Some people dip their toe in. We turn up in a rebreather.
We get properly below the surface of your bricklaying business: the systems, the busy days and the jobs everyone hates. Then we fix the bits that matter most first.
- 01
Think
We spend time with the people doing the work, see where the hours go and work out what's actually slowing you down.
- 02
Archi-tech
We plan it before writing code: your data, customers, payments, the tools you keep, hosting and cost.
- 03
Build
Real engineering, shown to you early and often. Usually the most painful bit first, so you get a win quickly.
- 04
Look after
We host it, maintain it and keep improving it. When something breaks you call the people who built it.
06Questions
FAQ
Things bricklayers ask us.
Something else on your mind? Ring 0423 011 252 and ask the people who'd build it.
Can it handle blockwork and retaining walls too?
Yes. Block sizes, core filling and retaining wall details can be added with their own rates.
How much does it cost?
It depends on what you need, so we quote up front once we understand your bricklaying business. No surprise invoices, no lock-in and you own what we build.
We already use a job management app. Do we have to switch?
No. If it's doing its job we build around it: the missing features, the integrations and the website on top. If it's holding you back we'll show you what replacing it would involve before anything changes.
Will it work on a phone in the van?
Yes. Everything we build for trades works on a phone first, with big buttons and photos that upload when you get signal back.
Who looks after it once it's built?
We do. We host it on our own managed servers and keep it updated and secure. When you need something you ring the people who built it.
