On page 13 it shows various bonds. Every one except one is a brick
thick. Bottom right gives quantities of bricks for one square meter of
brickwork, a half brick thick.

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.
