I’m in Ohio in the USA. I have a manual machine and the whole thing about CSEB is totally true! It’s awesome
@Ante Peric, thanks for joining in the journey of sustainability, your experiential witness means a lot for the future of CSEB.
@@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.
Where in Ohio? I am looking to buy a press
@@christineilunga723 the presses are not cheap especially after customs and shipping costs kick in. Like if it’s listed at $800 you can expect the final cost after that to be anywhere from $5-8k depending on where you get it shipped to
I seen price in Kenya and Uganda . I am looking for Africa . Thanks

@@seresar1574 Great, will be looking forward to hearing from you.
Wow! Very inspiring ooo
Thank you,sir.
Hello, i will be calling you soon!! Thanks
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.
Beautiful, sir
Thank you🙏
Super bro all the best
Many thanks bro.
I love the neatness
Appreciate your comment, Joana❤️
🔥🔥
Great job, are you able to give us price per brick please ,
Can you please put up more recent projects you did from start to finish. Can you do decking for a roof instead of
Yes we do all that.
How can I get this machine and how much is it .IAM in Uganda .the work is so far good.
where will the electrical wires pass ? are u going to use chisel and hammer on the walls?
Your work looks nice. But how do you lay pipes for electric wiring and plumbing works, do you chisel like conventional building
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.
Thank you for this great video! Do you offer training to build houses? If so how much is the training and how long is the class?
You are welcome. Do send us an email @ eurekabuildings@gmail.com.
@@eurekahomes8874 very nice work. I'm also interested in training manuals please
Where can I find this in Uganda,
If you know experienced people, please let them get in touch with me.
I've already built my house, can I use this for the fence wall?
Yes, you can.
Pls do you have already built brick houses for sale ? And prices and location thanks.
Not as of now, we now take plans of our clients and build according to their dream homes at any location in Ghana. Thanks.
if i may ask is it possible to bond with mortar/cement and how much is a brick or how do you do the pricing
Hi, yes it is possible to blend with concrete blocks on separate lay outs. We will need you to send us your building plan/design in order to give you the pricing quote. Thank you.
Nice work! What areas in Ghana do you cover?Do you ever us mortar between your bricks? Thank you.
We cover every location in Ghana. We don't use mortar at the joints.
@@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.
What exactly is your experience with the lintel?
@@eurekahomes8874 Hidden the beam with the bricks
@@eurekahomes8874 Hope you still get the patterns after wiring and fittings?
How do start with the foundation? Do you use iron rods to build from the foundation level?
Yes, pls all that which is applicable for reinforcement in substructure works for us also.
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
We do have architects we work with, however if the client has his structure designed in drawing by an architect, we gladly welcome to with it.
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.
This looks very nice but how can we contact you?
Contact is in the video, but you can reach us on 0205879571. Thanks

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.
@@eurekahomes8874 Thanks for your response.
Do you also work or have a branch in the Volta region ?
@@durbansaladyinaccra2173 Yes pls, we are mobile so we work in the Volta Region.

Absolutely right Sir.

Do You sell the green machine that makes your bricks?

@@eurekahomes8874 can you give information on the make and model of the machine
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.
Thank for the information. So what is the correct bond when using interlocking bricks. Header bond, English bond, cavity walls, etc..
How can one reach you, kindly share contacts.
Hi,
Thanks for reaching out. Our contact is in the video, however, here you are; 0205879571.
Do you accept mortgage, am interested. Thank you,
No ma'am, we develop the property of our clients for them.
Then please do you any arrangements for pre finance
@@nancya.3470 Not now pls. Thank you.
@@nancya.3470in Africa and other parts of the world outside of the Western culture US Canada UK Europe there are no mortgages it's a cash society no debt you build as your finances allow so if you start off with one room you add on to it as your finances become available there's no mortgages in Africa and we are not trying to bring that culture into Africa where we are in debt and live in a consumer credit society we don't do that over here in Africa and we're not trying to go that route so if you don't have the money to build continue to save until you can do just that but please do not bring that Western debt/credit mentality to Africa
The bricks are laid without mortar or cement, how do they hold up?
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.
Pls me I don't have a plan but I need estimates for 2 bedroom at seaside. Each room has its own wash room and small porch.. Both share same middle wall
We work with a plan to give you a realistic quote. Thank you, sir.
Please, can I talk to you ?
Yes, we are opened for a conversation. 0205879571
