You can measure the density of soil with the help of different test as mentioned in IS code. After getting density you can use the formula: Density = Mass/Volume You know density and volume, you will get Mass out of it

You can try one other method also, by fixing plate bonding in the beam on the bottom to enhance the flexural strength, you will have to rest the plate on the bricks, and for that, you will have to remove the top layer of the brick. You also may need to provide scaffolding if you are altering the load-bearing wall. As it is a load-bearing structure, if any alteration is done in the load-bearing wall, it should be done with the consultation of a structural engineer.

Time Estimation: Actually there are many Softwares out there in the market but the most commonly used in the Indian market are Primavera and MS project for Scheduling and estimation of time required, but the software is not limited to this two, there are many like TILOS which is used widely in Europe, it is more useful for estimation of linear projects like metro and roads.
Quantity: In most of the companies the quantity estimation is done in Excel, but there is much other software for quantity estimation, the most common are Revit and Tekla, from which you can directly model your project and take off quantities.
