Well, the guy on top is right. But why are you asking here? Why not call a local supplier? The reason I say is, costs are different in different places. I wouldn't bother to ask someone three states away how much a 2x4 costs, I'd call the lumberyard down the road. That's relevant information. All I can tell you is how much materials for a 10x50 brick wall would cost where I live, and that doesn't help you very much. By the way, a 10' brick wall is ridiculously unstable. Don't forget brick walls are heavy and need footings, and a single-width wall 10' high is likely to blow over in a high wind.

Assuming that all the walls were of equal size, and that each house had 2 walls (Front and back) except the two end houses which would have three walls, and there was no additional costings for labour, or land, the price would be £18,255

Because - there are 24 houses (two of which are at the end so have three walls)

22 of the houses have two walls (44 walls)
2 of the houses have three walls (6 walls)

50 walls (of assumed equal size) X 2434 = 121700 bricks
121700 bricks X 15pence = £18255

There is not enough information to answer this question without assumptions.

A pair of semi-detached houses = 7 walls.
24 houses = 12 pairs of houses = 12 x 7 = 84 walls

1 wall = 2434 bricks
84 walls = 2434 x 84 = 204,456 bricks

1 brick = £0.15
204,456 bricks = 204,456 x £0.15 = £30,668.40

cost of building one wall=2434*0.15=365.10
cost of building 24 semidetached houses=(taking 4 walls per house)=4*24*365.10=Rs.35049.60

£35,049.60, assuming that you have 3 walls and a supporting 1 for each house after the firstactually scrub that, its £3285.90 for each pair of houses and £78,861.60 for the row

24 x 2434

For each house:-

((2434*3) +(2434*0.5))*0.15

Logic:-

Each house has three non-shared walls of 2434 bricks
Fourth wall is shared therefore counts as half of 2434

I will leave you to work it out!
