you need about 2 yard of brick sand, not that expensive. and you will get approx 90 - 100 brick per mix, dont use the 3 to 1 ratio if the sand is course, a good mix and should be done in the proper mortor mixer is 14 shovels of sand for every 1 bag of type N mortar cement, and let it mix for at least 5 minutes,I f you have never laid bricks before, all I can say is good luck. I am a mason with 25 years experience

You will use 60 bricks in every m2. For this area you will need 0.03m3 of mortar. If you calculate the total square area of walling you are to build this should enable you to work out a total mortar quantity. Allowance for wasteage must be added to your total quantity. As a side note 3 to 1 is a very strong mix. In most commercial applications a mix closer to 6 to 1 is used.

take your measurements along to B&Q or similar store, they should be able to give a good estimate.
you make no mention of foundations or are you just getting the ready mix for them?
