How to count bricks and blocks on a pallet or in a stack from a photo

Photograph the stack front-on and this brick counter marks the brick faces it can see. You review each marker, correct the total and log it against the delivery or the site. It counts visible bricks only, so a full pallet needs a photo of each face, or a known depth to turn one reviewed face into an estimate.

Count bricks in a stack from the front

Stand square to the stack in daylight and fill the frame with its face. Shooting from a corner makes the courses slope and the end bricks narrow, which makes the dots harder to check against the real stack.

  1. Photograph one face of the stack square on, with the whole face in frame.
  2. Upload the photo to start counting automatically.
  3. Scan each course for a dot on every brick and none on mortar, straps or gaps.
  4. Fix missed or extra dots with Included markers.
  5. Add the face to the tally, labeled with the pallet and which side it was.

Turn a reviewed face into a pallet estimate

If every course is the same depth, multiply the reviewed count of one face by the number of bricks deep and record it as an estimate, with the method beside it. A row for each face you can photograph gives a better audit trail, because nobody has to take the multiplication on trust. Stacked concrete blocks follow the same method, and have a page to count concrete blocks from a photo.

Get a clean photo on a dusty site

Dust, shadow and mixed rubble are the usual problems. Shoot in daylight, brush loose dust off the face if you can and keep broken bricks and offcuts out of the frame. If shadowed bricks are missed, drag Included markers toward Show more. If debris picks up dots, drag toward Only strongest.

Check a delivery before you accept it

Give each pallet a row, retype the Count if you correct it and Export CSV for the delivery record; pallet totals and costs come from your own sums on those rows. The marked image from See result shows which bricks were counted, and you can put it in a captioned photo report with the delivery note. For several pallets, Bulk audit, a Premium feature, counts the set in one run using automatic counting. Other finishes on the same delivery, such as tiles, have their own page to count tiles from a stack.

Before you accept the delivery

  • Compare the reviewed total with the delivery note and write any difference into the row label.
  • Count the empty pallets going back from the same delivery in their own photo.
  • Keep the original photo with the marked image in case the count is questioned.
  • Count steel delivered with it separately, because bar ends in a bundle need their own end-on photo.

Rebar on the same site is photographed end-on, so count bars from the bundle ends, and pallets going back to the supplier can be tallied in the yard from one photo. To send the delivery evidence on, build a captioned photo report as a PDF.

Frequently Asked Questions

How Brick Counter helps you get it done

Real problems it solves every day — for businesses, creators, and everyday tasks. Find the use case that fits you and start.

For Business

Review a Brick Delivery Before Unloading

Photograph the pallet for a draft brick tally, then review the physical delivery, correct the markers, and complete the normal delivery-note check before the truck leaves.

For Developers

Track Remaining Material Between Phases

Photograph the leftover stack for an AI-assisted estimate, then review and correct it against the physical stock before planning the next build phase.

Productivity

Audit a Whole Yard in One Batch

Open Bulk audit to run Distinct objects mode across every stack photo, then review every result before using the combined yard total.

On Mobile

Count Site Stock from Your Phone

Walk the site snapping each stack with your phone camera, add every result to the Tally sheet, and export the day's site stock as a CSV or PDF report for the site manager.

For Developers

Separate Bricks from Mixed Site Debris

Mark one complete brick in the Examples setting before the count runs so blocks and rubble aren't mistaken for bricks, then review every marker before using the total.

For Developers

Estimate a Full Pallet Total from a Single Face Photo

Count the bricks visible on one face of a rectangular stack, then multiply by the known depth for a fast estimate of the whole pallet — useful when climbing around a stack to photograph every face isn't practical on a busy site.
