Interlocking Bricks are a great technology, use all the great ancient technological civilizations, they are used in the US midwest a lot. Farmer thank you and love your work
Thanks very much for contacting. Right now, I am not offering any training due to the crisis here....in future I will do something about it. however the company in south Africa offers training about twice a year. Just Google Hydraform south Africa for more details..... regards.
Hey, I am interested in building a brick house in yde, whats is the cost to build this particular house. And how are these bricks different from regular bricks
Hello Sir, building with hydraform bricks, you save 20 to 30% cost compared to any other form of building. I can't remember how much it costed me for my own house.
i love your work, pure down to earth lifestyle. i want to build with this bricks and the roof just spectacular. im in yaounde, any chance i can get a contact to realise my project?
Thanks so much...due to crisis here, the company that produces the bricks closed. However, I am researching on ways to import a machine from South Africa, train some technicians and scale up the technology here in Cameroon. Hope we keep in touch..... peace and blessings
most cities in the US will not allow alternative like this , too many building codes and restrictions ... if you go far away from big cities you might have a better chance in a city allowing you to build with this
Thank you. I'm very passionate about these interlocking blocks. I believe they are our better future in terms of affordable housing and eco friendly objectives.
For sure Samba, we can use it. I am looking forward to importing the machine to Cameroon soon and shall build start some demonstration in Nkambe and other villages.
@@farmertantoh OOOH fantastic!!! I wish you were in Nigeria. I need to learn from you. I am trying to build something similar. Are you able to help consult ? My wife is from douala. maybe when i come there. i would love to visit. I am tryign to build a farmhouse for my farm manager
hello farmer Tantoh, nice building you have. I actually have the machines imported and are presently in Benin city Nigeria. I have about 900 blocks made already. what I am interested in is you bamboo ceiling. how is it made? they look really great. if you hadn't mentioned they were bamboo I wouldn't have guessed. I really want to know how you made them.
Hello Sydney. Thank you for connecting..my email address is fatantoh@gmail.com. Please where did you get your machine? Is it from South Africa or China? Looking for to hear from you. Peace and blessings.
@sydney what mixture did you use for yours, I am about to order a machine, sir if you have a contact email, I will like to get more information from you. I want to build in Nigeria too. In Anambra state.
Great one there, impressive. For like how many blocks could be used for a 4room house? also can the ground of any area be used? Is there a particular mole that fabricates the blocks?
Thanks Tombo..I used 3k bricks to build my Eco lodge. Averagely 2k bricks can build a 4 room house. You can use the soil around you, but it has to be tested first. The machines that produces the bricks comes with it moulds of different sizes. I hope to purchase one from South Africa soon. Cheers
@@farmertantoh you can't do it with the hydraform blocks? can you just do a concrete decking? What are the options we have for decking using the hydraform technology?
@@farmertantoh One more question, how can we make the bricks and then make it shinny? I saw some online that is looking like it was polished or slightly painted
i hear the main problem with the interlocking blocks is bugs and insects like to go into the gaps and live and lay eggs and then the babies can go into your home ,, i don't know maybe there is a spray that can go on the outside to stop them from getting into the gaps

That's a great looking house. I missed the ratio of soil to cement mix. Could you please confirm in writing? Thank you in advance.
Six wheel barrows of soil to one bag of cement.
Did you use a building permit or have to build according to building code?
How do you acquire these rbicks? do manufacture them yourself, or do you purchase them?
I purchase them, but will soon start manufacturing them by 2025
Nice work there my mentor
Wow, all natural. I hoping to visit soon . I wanted to ask how solid the blocks are but when i come i will find out 🤣
Dear Mr Tantoh

Hello Sir, building with hydraform bricks, you save 20 to 30% cost compared to any other form of building. I can't remember how much it costed me for my own house.
If it is a storey building will you need a concrete slab with iron rods or it is still the hydraform that you will use?
I used wooden slab on my own building.....

Ok thanks Sir, fo you mean you're doing bamboo ceilings and want me to make a video of it? If yes, contact me via fatantoh@gmail.com

Questions:
1. How do you fit conduit wiring?
2. Does it allow for indoor plumbing?
I do surface wiring. Yes I did indoor plumbing etc
Is conduit possible through chiseling of the walls just like normal hollow block walls?
Gorgeous building that you have made! Is this method being used in the United States yet?
I don't think so Sir....
most cities in the US will not allow alternative like this , too many building codes and restrictions ... if you go far away from big cities you might have a better chance in a city allowing you to build with this
Pls send your contact

What's hydraform blocks
It's a South African technology of construction.. ...
i hear the main problem with the interlocking blocks is bugs and insects like to go into the gaps and live and lay eggs and then the babies can go into your home ,, i don't know maybe there is a spray that can go on the outside to stop them from getting into the gaps
Use cement and sand to block it it makes It more beautiful
Short up!!! It doesn't started from south Africa
Where is electricity and plumbing work 🤔🤔
Thanks Sir,Surface wiring for electricity and during plumbing, you use a drill for holes and insert pipes for plumbing.
please your contact sir
