Good day house,

Our company is currently working on building a housing estate with at least 100 housing units of 2 to 3 bedroom flat apartments.

Based on the figures we are getting, it appears that it is cheaper to build with clay bricks than with the conventional sandcrete blocks and cement only. Our aim is to produce affordable housing units for Nigerians and building with bricks seems to be one of the best ways to achieve that.

However, we will like to know from the professionals in the house if it is advisable to embark on such a project with bricks. Will Nigerians pay for and opt to live in brick houses at this time?

Your responses will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Boss I think You have to talk to builders personally

Our company produces fired clay bricks, and I have a good idea of the demand in various areas, I may be able to help if you provide me with a location.

Thank you very much. How much do you sell your bricks? Are they interlockable bricks?

We are looking at building in Port Harcourt, Uyo and Lagos.

Hello OP,

People will definitely buy and live in these houses if they are structurally sound and we'll finished. Take a look at Amen Estate on Eleko road, Lagos as a case study. The estate employs same concept you are proposing. Most of the buildings are sold out. A lot of Celebrities and influential people live there even though it's quite a distance from the town.

Once you get your studies right, and with the right implementation, I think the sky will be your starting point.

Regards,

Arc. Efe

Ok

How much will it cost to build a standard 4 bedroom apartment and how long will it take?

i heard its very lucrative but expensive too

Personally, I have a preference for brick houses.

I believe bricks are way more cheaper than cement

My worry with these locations is that they are super humid. Poor quality bricks in humid conditions will disintegrate in no time.

Dunno about demand but it's fvcking expensive.

Tried in Accra, drained my pocket but worth it especially for personal house.

Looool

Wake up brother. Brick house no be child's play.

Benue state has their unique style of burnt bricks and it is very beautiful and durable. I dont know why they havent exported the Benue Bricks to other parts of Nigeria.

Pic of your fired bricks please.

brick house in Nigeria....... not a bad idea sha




meanwhile whatsapp me for ur midweek/weekend sure bet9ja games

Bricks are quite expensive in Nigeria. Costs more I think. Show us some of your work and estimated costs please.
Also, I'd rather have buildings with other components than cement blocks but the lack of expertise is the issue especially among local builders.

Example is use of gypsum panel blocks to build houses considering we have abundance of this material in the country.

It's a no brainer, if the overall design is tasteful and facilities are well put together..... you'll surely be amazed by people's response

Do you stay in Accra?

Laterite bricks are cheap especially with regards to materials. However, the process in making them is cumbersome and stressful. A building with this brick does not require wall rendering (plaster and screed) or paint saving a lot of costs.

Red bricks as often called are aesthetically beautiful.

The major downsides are the fact that conduit electrical and mechanical services are not supported. Secondly, in areas where you need wall tiles such as kitchen and bathrooms, it will be difficult to achieve because of the smooth nature of the red brick wall. The bond of tiles to wall may not be strong if not done well and can easily fail. Thirdly, these projects are planned for humid areas of Nigeria, Red brinks are very bad conductors so would serve as thermal insulation keeping a lot of heat and humidity inside the house. This house will be more uncomfortable to live in without AC.

your fears can be solved by baking the bricks in an industrial oven. Brick houses can be a good venture
