@Muheani,

Am told that the Works Ministry has hydraform block making machines [at every Provincial HQ or sth.] available for lending to all. You only meet the cost for the fuel & the operator. Given that there are no other charges, the demand could be high but then again may be not as this technology has not really caught on. Your may want to explore this option.

Would there be any regulations about using this kind of bricks like to construct a 3 storey house?

They make very nice houses and are said to be economical too.

@ Muheani, check with Approtec, Kariobangi North. Their machines are abit cheaper than Makiga if i remember correctly. They also sell hand and foot pumps for irrigation, balers, oil presses etc.

Hi guys,

Am currently in Kampala and i stumbled on these guys called brick world, see their website below.

http://brickworlduganda.com/services.html

http://www.facebook.com/brickworlduganda?ref=ts

Some nice stuff they have, saw some houses built with the soil bricks, out of this world.

I wonder why this technology is yet to catch up in kenya!

Asked them for some costings of doing a 3 bedroomed house and they said they will revert. Will fill you in when i get the info.

Cheers
