The only reason we can cook up is COST.

Brick walls whether raw or processed is quite expensive.

But better..

Hello sir.
I need help.
A plumber just quoted 150k for me for 1500 litres.
He said that's the price for rubber tank. Is that true?
Also, if I go there myself, will they show me the rubber and plastic variants?

If you go yourself, YES they'll show you the rubber and plastic.

Plastic is usually about 20k cheaper than rubber... Don't know of current prices thou.

Boss, not trying to argue with you, but my research showed that it's actually cheaper than using block...

Infact, I used to think using brick will make the house hot, but I discovered it rather makes the house colder, even when outside is hot (those of us that used calabash pot for water will understand)...

I appreciate your response and look forward to more... Maybe there's something I don't know, why people don't use it

Let's analyse it.

What makes brick more expensive.

1. Block is about 5k - 6k per m2 while brick is about 10k - 15k

2. Block has zero cost for transportation while brick could cost as much as 200k or more to transport the entire bricks needed on a 3 bedroom bungalow (about 20,000 pcs).... If you're in the same state where it's being produced or millions if its Abuja to Lagos and the project is a duplex.

3. For conduit pipes, you break blocks and plaster back, while you'll need mechanical tools and or accessories and ducts to make that possible in brick.

4. Labour for block is readily available at about N1000 per m2 while Labour for brick is scarse and more expensive (even worse if its the local home baked bricks)

5. Any error on laying blocks can be concealed with plastering, while you'll need to condemn the brick and start afresh or end up with a bad looking structure. WINK!

6. For the locally made bricks, available of clay soil is an issue....

You're right.
Brick makes the indoor cooler on hot days and makes it warmer on cold night.

We all shd be using brick in 9ja... But the cost is killing ooh... Lagos Poly started with brick at their permanent site but had to abandon the project and completed it with blocks.

I'll like to read about your research, we can learn from it also.
Thanks.

Good evening All,

Please is there any special brand of pipe that can be used for conduit piping for electrical wires?

I was told that the type of pipe doesn't matter so far the quality of wire is the best.

I was also told that tiger brand is the best but someone told me that any type or brand of pipe can do the job that I should focus on the quality of wire instead.

I await your response.

This is comprehensive and well detailed information.
As you pointed out, getting the expertise for bricks laying and transportation of the bricks especially burnt bricks, would be very expensive.
Recently, we got some marbles and granite from Lagos to East, about 200 sqm. Transportation alone was #500k.
