Wana Wazua.

I have heard a lot about construction using interlocking blocks and that they can cut costs upto 70%. Anyone used them. Are they really cheaper and durable? Do they give good finished product?want to build residential house in Ruai and a water tank. Was thinking of buying block making machine which i understand is like 100k. Any one ever used them machines?

What I do know is that black cotton soil cannot be used to make the bricks..

For Ruai, there are numerous quarries so stone would be better.
