Question: Why have they quoted quantities for a half brick thick, when I presume, in practice, nobody would build those bonds a half brick thick, (except stretcher bond)?
Would it not have been better to give figures for a brick thick wall? Thanks.

A full brick would be a 9" thick wall as built pre cavities. A half brick is 4.5" as per a single leaf of a cavity wall.
Its easy enough to remember 50 bricks per sq yard and double it for a double wall.
(all sizes tend to be metric now and are a little bit smaller)
