Building affordable Houses in Africa using Interlock Bricks

[@thebioreligiotomist1939]

Great job for giving your objective analysis of this particular project. We can now make informed decision going forward. Appreciate your hard and smart work. Big ups!

[@IshmealLamptey]

Very glad to hear and thank you very much as well. 🙏🙏

[@keepitreal888-gnc]

Thanks for the video! Yes, interlocking bricks are the future. They regulate the temperature in the building, especially a hot place like Ghana, it's better to use interlocking bricks for the home because they keep the house cool. And, they cut the expenses..

[@IshmealLamptey]

Thanks for the submission 😊

The disadvantage is, conducting maintenance works is difficult. If you need to correct any plumbing or electrical faults, good luck!

Wow this is one of the best building content I have seen about building in ghana. Hope to see more videos about building with interlocking bricks . Good job!

I’m deciding between brick, rammed earth, and containers. Which is the best for durability, environmental sustainability and cost?

[@IshmealLamptey]

I honestly wouldn't advice on containers due to our climatic conditions. Go for any of the two aside containers. My personal opinion.

[@Hobby_trails_family]

Containers are not functional in so many ways. Use interlocking bricks.

[@mosimba2665]

Interlock bricks are the future, due to it practically and flexibility and cost effectiveness... Containers are not really flexible unless you want to spend a lot of money ... Another interesting thing to do may be to combine them so that you can have both of the worlds

How many blocks can double trip of sand cast?

[@keepitreal888-gnc]

I noticed that most of his bricks were one color. Some places sell multiple colors. Are you going to start building with interlocking bricks?

[@IshmealLamptey]

I sure will start building with bricks as well soon

[@kalmbizi300]

Could you, please, shed some light on the land issue we are hearing in Asebu? How far the dispute (if there is any) affects the diaspora community?

Unfortunately i do not have much information to the land issues at Asebu

Do they have a different color of bricks?

[@IshmealLamptey]

Yes they do

[@ekowpinkrah8968]

why did you pour mixed cement into the holes ?

[@IshmealLamptey]

Perhaps, to help it bond together

“Creativity is not a purely human prerogative. The ability to invent, to respond in a way that is not programmed, is essential to survival. It is part of every living creature’s repertoire in its own degree. . . [but] this capacity has reached extraordinary heights in humans, because of our ability to imagine.” Iain McGilchrist, The Matter With Things. Adapting to change in the built environment is essential for our survival in the climate change debate. The earth is getting warmer with unimaginable consequences, and Ishmael's response to change could define his profession as a construction manager.

[@IshmealLamptey]

Thank you 🙏🙏

[@ekowpinkrah8968]

one brick cost how much

[@IshmealLamptey]
