Bricks vs Blocks in Zambia
Burnt bricks are the traditional choice in Zambia — they're affordable and widely available from local brick-makers. However, concrete blocks are faster to lay, more uniform, and increasingly cost-competitive for larger projects.
A standard 3-bedroom house requires approximately 15,000-20,000 bricks or 3,000-4,000 blocks.
