- Builders plastic for coverage during curing ( 6 week average)
- Water ( 1-2 litres per brick )
WHAT WE DO
We mix ,press , and stack bricks on-site ,near your build location, to streamline construction. Our services include :
- Free sample testing and material advice
- On-site mixing ( if required) using our efficient process
- Addition of stabilisers ( cement or lime ) as needed
- Clay or sand adjustments to optimise material quality
- Compact, low-impact operation suitable for tight spaces
- Bobcat operation and site cleanup included
WEIGHTS AND MEASUREMENTS
- 20 bricks per square metre ( including mortar )
- For a solid wall 20m x 3m =1200 bricks required
- Each brick weighs approx. 20 kg
- Approx 50 bricks per tonne
- Material requirements: 1000 bricks = 20 tonnes

Benefits of Compressed Earth Block
• Cost and Energy Efficient – The most important benefit of Compressed Earth Block building is the energy savings. The thermal mass quality alone defines the strongest attribute of Compressed Earth Block and will result in energy savings for the life span of the building.
• Non-Toxic – Compressed Earth Block making is a non-toxic process. It is ideal for people suffering from chemical sensitivity.
• Durable – The fact that some of the oldest structures on Earth today are made of earth is a testimonial to the durability of this building material.
• Made on Site – Compressed Earth Blocks are commonly made on building sites, this reduces the cost of transportation and the carbon footprint associated with it.
Building Our Sustainability
There are perhaps twenty different methods of employing earth to construct walls, floors, and roofs of various dimensions and form. The compressed earth block was the first material to be used in the modern earth-building revolution, an entirely new building unit invented in the eighteenth century. This inexpensive building material can boast durability, thermal properties, aestethic appeal, and it greatly reduces the carbon footprint, as the blocks don’t have to be fired, or transported when soil is being harvested from or near the building site.
Termite nests offer an inspiration
Currently about half of the world’s population, approximately 3 bilion people, lives or works in buildings constructed of earth. Soil is being used in countless forms of earthen architecture; places of work and worship, agricaltural buildings, city walls and monuments.
