The answer, not surprisingly, depends on the size of the paving bricks. And since you have not bothered to share that crucial bit of information, I cannot provide a more useful answer.
It depends on the size of the bricks.
imperial 52 bricks. metric 60 bricks.
500 maxi bricks covers 15.2 square meters. this is how to find it. maxi brick (290 x 140 x 90) converted to meters plus the minimum mortar thickness of 10mm. we are only going to concentrate on the (lenght x height) of the brick which gives us ((0.29+0.01(mortar thickness)) x (0.9 + 0.01(mortar thickness)) = 0.03. thus 1/0.03= 33 bricks per square meter. Therefore 500/33=15 square meters
In general: For an area of 1 sq. m, the bricks needed are 60 and 0.02 cubic meters of mortar. If the area is 2 sq. meters, the needed quantity is 120 bricks and the mortar required is 0.05 cubic meters. Note: It does depend on what country the bricks are from, as every country will likely have different sized bricks -- for example, in the USA bricks are usually 8 × 4 × 2.25 inches (203 × 102 × 57 mm).
