Affordable housing or sustainable construction of houses is very much given an incentive nowadays by the Government of India. But to make this possible in these times of spiraling material costs is challenging indeed! There is a need to find more cost-saving alternatives so as to maintain the cost of constructing houses at affordable prices. Load-bearing Interlocking bricks for sustainable housing construction is a good option to consider in this scenario.

Premier interlocking bricks dealers Kochi – Toughie Engineering brings to you sustainable housing construction with interlocking bricks.

How does using Toughie interlocking bricks bring down costs?

Construction with interlocking blocks has environmental advantages like no deforestation, low energy consumption for brick production and transportation. The materials needed for interlocking bricks production and building construction are usually locally available in most regions.

The Interlocking bricks production can even be done at the site that results in cheaper building costs due to faster completion time, less-skilled workers, and fewer wastages.

The interlocking blocks do not require mortar to bind together and the blocks are laid dry and locked into place. This significantly reduces construction as a large amount of mortar for vertical and horizontal brick joints can be avoided.

Building walls can be made faster with the dry assembly of interlocking blocks. High-waged skilled masons are not required (except for the base course) & this saves labour costs when compared to masonry with standard bricks.

Painting of external walls is not required due to the smooth finish of the interlocking bricks. Wall putty can be directly applied to internal walls to produce a superfine finish wall construction.

As interlocking bricks have a load-bearing capacity, additional cost reduction can be achieved. No timber formwork is required.

The structural stability and durability of interlocking bricks are more than standard brick construction. Residential projects or up to two-storied buildings can be constructed without pillars and beams. This results in optimized construction costs and timing.

All these factors lead to sustainability using Interlocking blocks in construction. To know more on using Interlocking Bricks for sustainable construction, contact us at +91 9946466000 or email us at info@toughie.in
