I recently saw an ad at a mall advertising the sale of interlocking blocks. Has anyone used them?
Is it true they reduce the cost of construction by 46%?
Are they durable? I'd be glad to be informed wisely.

@Cool,
Durable? yes because they are stabilised i.e soil n cement mixed.
Cost effective, to an extent yes,because mortar joints are not use and time for laying the blocks is reduced.
Percentage? NOT 46% of construction may be they meant walling only.

I have a friend who has used them in Kitengela. Initially for the sanitary block of his employees and he intends to use the idea across all his permanent structures on his farm.
he has also done significant research on the topic.
