Great information, thank you very much. i think both may not differ in amount of mortar joint, because the mortar is spread evenly on all the blocks before the top course of block is placed on it. but in my opinion, another advantage is that the hollow block offers a form of interlocking with the mortar joint (the mortar enters the holes) which gives an extra strength to the walls. unlike solid block which has flat surface.
Hollow blocks depending on the type can be laid either on the flat side or the hollow side (there are hollow blocks with both sides being hollow) hence the mortar can be spread throughout or just on the sections that has the hollow. Also, not all hollow blocks have the interlocking feature. Some solid blocks as well do have the interlocking feature.
I honestly cannot suggest which type of block to use since i am not privy to a lot of information on the project so i will suggest you involve the services of an engineer if there isn't any so he/she gives best of advice regarding the project.
Thank you for this great wisdom my brother! So, for a storied house are you basically saying that it’s better to use hollowed blocks on the second floor and above?
Yes, that's my assertion however it isn't always the case. There are instances where solid blocks may be the preferred option for all floors. This will depend on the project and it's engineering.
Great job young man. Always informative information given by you. Awesome indeed. Thank you.
Thank you 😊
You do such fabulous work and thank you for always educating us. 👍🏽😁☮️❤️🤗🙏🏽

ok thank you
Very good education.
Thank you
Thanks
Thank you 😊
very insightful🤗.
Thank you
Miss my man
You are very good, i will be in touch when i am in Ghana.
Thank you and very well noted
With the hollow block and solid block which is expensive?
Solid blocks are sometimes more expensive. Sometimes also, they tend to have the same price
can the hollow blocks be used for the ground floor of a storey building..?
Yes it can, however you'll have to consult the engineer on the project for best advice
Can I use hollow blocks for the entire structure of my story building (super structure & subsequent floors) in a water logged area ??

@IshmealLamptey okay, thank you

Great video. To what extent do hollow blocks differ from interlocking blocks?
What about compressed earth blocks in comparison to the traditional blocks.
That's going to be in a different video
Please do you have a video on secret roofing vs hip roofing
If you do, kindly share the link with me..... if otherwise, I will be excited for a video on that
Not yet, but i certainly will make one.
I am yet to make one
