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.

Given the affordable cost, why aren't houses in Lekki for example built with baked bricks?

Bricks about the size of the one in the picture you posted will cost around 158 naira, you'll need about 5000 pieces.

Lekki is basically a sandy area without laterite or clay, or any of the raw materials needed for making bricks. You also need to construct a raft foundation with concrete before you can start building. However, there is an estate known as Amen estate near Eleko in Ibeju lekki that has several houses constructed entirely of clay bricks.

I will appreciate it if the cost of building with red bricks is analysed and posted here. And is it advisable to build with this brick in places like Osun state?

Please, show me a picture of a residential house built with the fired clay bricks. Thanks

I'm not a pro but from the much I know about about red brick blocks they don't have the best thermal properties suitable for shelter in the tropics when baked to dryness since they have a very low heat capacity making them poor insulators of heat. Again brick blocks don't make for dynamism as our preferences and taste do change over time hence introducing new fittings in line with current trends and taste can prove to be somewhat difficult. Another controversial side of building with bricks is aesthetics. while some will argue that bricks bring superior aesthetics functions to buildings. I have a different opinion stemming from how homogeneous and plain structures built exclusively with bricks tend to appear. They leave us with a limited choice of wall finishing. On the pro side bricks have been shown to have superior strength when compared with cement blocks although this is a function of the moisture content of the brick. The lower the moisture content, the greater the strength and the lower its heat capacity, increasing its ability to retain heat which is undesirable in the tropics. Research efforts should then be directed towards the thermal and aesthetic implications of building structures with bricks. I strongly believe that building materials are distributed throughout the world by nature on the basis of geography of each part of the world. That deposits of the red earth material from which bricks are made occur in this part of the world is not some chance event and this necessitates that we take the responsibility of tailoring our shelter in line with our climate.

Really? How?

... This house will be more uncomfortable to live in without AC. I can help install AC that does not require the use of ELECTRICITY. Do get in touch if you decide to go on with the project.

Beautifying the type of bricks we have in Nigeria may just be the solution to the 17million deficits gab. We have gotten to the point where the low income and mid income earners which are the vast majority will beging to think of alternative way to get cheaper but durable structure especially in Abuja. In Abuja u have millions of empty hauses on one side because its extremely expensive, and on the other hand you have the vast majority looking for just a decent place to stay. If your bricks concept is durable and affordable, you may just be the solution that even the Nigerian government has been looking for
