Labour output (per 8 hours)
ItemMason + 1 helperRemarks
230mm thick wall (1 m³)1.25 m³approx 600-650 bricks
115mm thick wall (1 m²)8-10 m²~ 0.9 m³ equivalent
Extra for raking / reinforcementreduction 10-15%if seismic bands etc

Output varies by site conditions, height, and mix. One mason + one labour = 0.9 to 1.1 m³/day for 230mm.
