Measuring the brick course is quite an acurate way of working out the size of a building. The standard size for british bricks over the years has become 215mm (L) x 102.5mm (W) x 65mm (D) when counting you usualy allow for 10mm morter between the courses of brick
A photo of a gable end along with this method has come very handy when I have been surveying a building and not been able to gain access to the loft/attic space.
With a CAD package such as AutoCAD (there are cheaper ones out there that do this as well) you can draw your plans and elevations at 1:1 scale and print out paper templates at any scale desired.
all the best
ray.
