How much sand and cement in 25 kg bags are required to build a brick wall with 1026 bricks with a 1:3 ratio and half brick thick. Thanks
Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?

Most bricklayer will not use 1: 3 half brick thick. That means bed joints of 30mm thick. I doubt you can point it properly. The work may not look nice and may crack because there is no flexibility in the mortar.

Only when I work out how much sand and cement for a small job I work on the basis of 25 kg bag of sand lays 22 bricks 1 bag of cement has four shovels of cement so one bag of cement does four bags of sand .
1 bulk bag has 40 25 kg bags which a 1 ton bag will lay 1000 bricks

Depends on how good you are at using a trowel, what kind of wall you are building, what footings you’ve got and how you plan on pointing it.

Normally a ton bag / bulk bag of sand and 6 bags of cement will lay 1000 bricks (that’s what I go off). Hope it helps.
