@@eurekahomes8874 I make about 100-150 blocks a day by myself. I mix with clay I buy from a yard, mortar sand, and I use a mix of Portland and high strength concrete. I do 5.5 parts sand, 3.5 parts clay .7 parts Portland and .3 part high strength concrete with fibers… my blocks have steady psi over 3200… I’ve had multiple blocks from various batches thru all 4 seasons exposed to the elements. I find for northeast Ohio this is the perfect blend while keeping thermal mass elements. Plastering is more wise in a climate where you have snow, rain, winds and various weather like Ohio. My plans are to solar power the entire home, make everything electric and incorporate geothermal not only in flooring but also in the bottom portion of walls. The style brick I use has two separate 2” holes and has a channel in one of the molds I have. My plan is to run geothermal lines thru the block on the lower 48” of the wall. When I run the lines instead of concrete only use a slurry mix of high pressure fiber reinforced concrete in the areas that have the lines from geothermal. Heat rises. So if my floors and lower part of walls is heated by a geothermal system I can reasonably expect to be self sufficient in such a home.

Thank you, David. Yes, we do conduit layout of pipes and wiring with cutting machine in the bricks and seal as these have greater surface area than regular blocks.
Can you please send me your email address or your cell numbers, I'll need two story buildings with 100 bedrooms self contained, conference center, the building should be in U form
Are there variations in brick size and color for example larger size bricks and perhaps maybe a grayish color versus small red this look like what I call "PROJECT BRICKS"! Are there cracks crevices and spaces in between blocks that will allow insects and creatures to enter inside the home what about air passage are there any open spaces in this type of building. Can this structure be plastered and is it recommended if someone doesn't like the look of brick
There is one structured mould for the size- look as it appears(230mmx220mmx115mm). The bricks have depressed and projected ends( groove and tongue) that fit into each other in the pattern they appear. No crevices appear from exterior to interior as everything closes up. The color can be varied depending on the selection of the laterite. This is interlocking brick 🧱, yes it allows for plastering if the client wishes so. Thank you.
@@eurekahomes8874 thank you for your quick response. Do you have architects or designers that you work with or does the clients have to come with their own plan and design for building
Very neat job! I really like the look of the traditional burnt bricks and the smooth finish of your interlocking bricks. Can you use a combination of the two techniques to produce “an interlocking burnt brick”?
Interlocking bricks are way different from burnt bricks in terms of sizes and methods of production. Interlocking goes through natural curing whereas burnt bricks are oven fired.
@@eurekahomes8874 Hope you still get the pattens after wiring and fittings? I do like this type of brick cos there’s no circular holes for iron bar and mortar which is more cost effective. But one thing I dislike about it is the Lintel. Have you guys thought about ways to do the lintel with the bricks like other type of bricks.
By the interlock mould of the bricks, the default pattern has projected end and depressed end that fit into each other when laid, that's how they dry stack.

All the walls are build in a single leaf stretch bond, that’s quick weak. Around you worried about the structural integrity in the long term? Specially in case of a natural disaster, a stretch bond in a single line of bricks isn’t ideal.. by far.

What's bricks, what's block's?
Hello, how do the bricks cope in the wet and colder climates and in the rainy season in Ghana?
Bricks are cured by watering and air dry for 10-14 days, by this it gets hardened up to withstand vagaries of weather conditions. Thank you.
can you build with the brick on a german concrete floor?
Yes, pls.
Is it possible for mould to form between and on the bricks due to the humidity in Ghana ?
Yes, it is possible but with polish to the surfaces, it offers protective layers against mosses and mould.

Is there no cement needed during joining of the bricks ?
