Construction Project Keys
The following Construction Project Keys help you instantly figure quan-
tities and costs of materials, so you can build like a pro!
Block/Brick Key
The Block key helps you quickly estimate the quantity of blocks or
bricks required for building walls, walkways or other areas.
[Block] — Number of Blocks or Bricks
Calculates the total number of concrete blocks required to fill a given
area.
Uses a standard block/mortar area of 128 square inches. This
key can also be used for calculating the number of “face” or “paver”
bricks by storing a brick size
(see below).
[Stor] [Block] — Store Block or Brick Size
Used to store a size
other than the default block size of 128 square
inches (e.g., 120 [Stor] [Block] stores a size of 120 square inches).
This value is permanently stored until you change it or perform an All
Clear. To recall the stored setting, press
[Rcl] [Block].

Note: For Brick Estimates—You may also enter a brick size using
[Stor] [Block]. For example, when building with standard “face”
bricks, enter a brick size of 21 square inches (21 [Stor] [Block]) or
store a “paver” brick size of 32 square inches (32 [Stor] [Block];
based on Modular U.S. brick size of 3-5/8 inches x 2-1/4 inches x
7-5/8 inches, including 3/8 inch mortar = 4 inches x 2-5/8 inches x 8
inches).
