Dear Nairalanders, please how do I get bricks for my propose building? I need your help please.

Depending on what typa bricks you are referring to ..and also your location.From my lil knowledge there are different types of bricks .common to this region are laterite interlocking blocks ( popularly called interlocking bricks or hydraform ) burnt red bricks or red clay bricks ( which a good example are the once used in Obasanjo's university, Bells I suppose) and Facing bricks .. for the Laterite interlocking bricks I know of NBRRI (Nigerian Building and Road Research Institute)at Sango ota they can help produce, and some people in Osun state (Oshogbo )where new projects are been carried with it (hydraform)..For the Burnt clay bricks I'm not so certain but m sure there are places where you can find in Lagos.

In the pictures are examples of Laterite interlocking blocks ( bricks ) if thats d type you are talking about

my pleasure , what most manufacturers of bricks do is bring there machine over to your site ( location) and make it for you there , so depending on you n ur budget , distance might not be a huge constraint ...https://www.nairaland.com/2818337/why-should-use-red-bricks .
