Thank you, Francis & Cameron, for this interview & content. I am really hooked. I have been looking for a material for my house. I think I am going to review this one further.
Excellent vidéo ! I'm very interesting in compressed earth block contruction. In my culture, amazigh people of Morocco, we build fortress (kasbahs) and houses with earth compressed since over 2000 years !
Hi.. Francis... what's the size of the brick..and weight..is it easily manageable to place and construct.. conventional clay bricks a bricklayer uses one hand...
i think for the interlocking if they don't put plaster over the bricks then they can spray on this liquid stuff that prevents water & bugs to get into the cracks but this spray stuff you need to re spray every 3 - 5 years ,, i think that is what's giving a shine to the bricks in the background
I love it but have questions: Is this type of brick strong? How strong compare to real brick? Is the wall made from this brick strong? How strong compare to a normal brick wall? If a car with 40 km/h hits this wall, how will the wall stand up? If it rains for a week on the wall, will it survive like a normal brick wall? Hit the wall with a hammer a few times, will it damage easily? Is this wall better be rendered outside and inside for its protection? Do you make the wall before bricks are dry or after they are completely dried?
compressed earth bricks are quite a bit stronger than regular bricks, and they are very water resistant--you can submerge them in water for a year and they do not lose their strength. Cure time is about 3 weeks, but you can start building with them in about a week if you cure them properly (or build with them immediately if you are not adding a bit of cement, depending on your application). I don't know why we don't see CEB in use much more.
How to check the local soil whether it is fit for this purpose. And can we make it through hand instead of that machine for compressing. For single small house the machine cost is too high. It can be combinedly buy for the eco friendly community.

thanks for that number. i have seen two models of the brick making mechine (on you tube). but no manufacturer name or contact number. the videos are make by brick builders not mechine sellers.
Francis, thanks for the very good video. I want to build with these in Australia, and I will have a double block wall, and it will be rendered on the outside and inside walls. So I have 2 questions: 1) If I want to render it, should I ask for a mould with straight sides, that is, without a bevel on the edges? 2) The blue surrounds on the windows on this house, is it rendered to look like lintels? Or are they concrete lintels?
i wish i had the video but i did see another youtube video show that with the interlocking blocks you actually spend more money on concreting the corners than the mortar used with regular blocks ... but the video sounds correct in saying you can do it faster with interlocking so that will be cheaper .... now i did find this video th-cam.com/video/23MTZuq6bec/w-d-xo.html that shows a cheap soil mortar that is strong but is it strong enough to get approved by a city building department

7 years late but i find each brick is between $1 and $1.50 ,, and you need 7,000 for a 1200 sqft house ... so $7000 for all the outside and inside walls , you just need pay for foundation and roof and you got yourself a house
Hi Francis! My name is Zack Wamara I am from DRCongo and I am really interested in making these ISSBs so my question is how much is that ISSBs machine? I would also like to know what are the conditions if we request you to come and train people in DRCongo? Please I am looking forward to hear from you.
I can tell you that the use of rebars, is an idea which for some reason has taken everybody's minds. There is no need for these rebars, or concrete corners, or "pylons" or "pillars". These, in fact, destabilizes the entire building. The very best you can do is to use blocks (with mortar, though!), and use these blocks also in corners. Ensure that the blocks are sufficiently long, such that they can exactly interlock also in corners. You can build up to several floors with bricks, and NO pillars, or pylons :-)... The house, if it is properly made with mortar, is more stable with brick-corners, interlocking each other.
All the way to heaven if you like...they are magic bricks! Nothing can knock them down...You could build a stairway all the way up to where they hand out free pies all the day long...no problem....yes next question please?
@@dougiequick1 No. You can build with bricks alone, up to some 6 floors or so. This depends on the block and how it is made. If the block is not sufficiently strong, it will powderize - disintegrate.
everything is built on earth , so even if where you're at is all concrete just break the concrete up to get to the soil and then dig down for all the soil you need ,, that is unless you live on a volcano that might be the only one instance where you can not get to the soil that's below your feet
And who needs place for reinforcement bar? When it all falls over then simply bury the dead bodies and stack the bricks right back up again...simple!, easy clean and fast!
My god, this is a very ' SHammy" presentation. If they want to be taken seriously show an actual opposing "brick" and an actual presenter. If this were something worth doing you would never know because they seem so fake.

wow. i didn't know that.
What do they use for compressing it? you said over 2000yrs
That is magnificent. That will be Africa's cheap solution to poor and inadequate housing and habitations. Big Up!!!
coool.... keep up the good work francis.. I am trying to make these bricks in India. wish me luck.. cheers
Me to want make this type of bricks in india
Did u get the machine in India mandeep
Very convincing thanks. I am liking the interlocking bricks. I will make my own and build. Very done in you explanation.
I am so interested in this product, infact I want to learn more about them, to the extent I would know how they are produced,
Fantastic video. Brilliant idea. Thank you. Keep safe and well. X
Where are you found in Uganda
This is awesome good work ! Greetings from Germany
Hello Francis-How can I test if my local soil is good for clay bricks production?
Francis is a fantastic sales person. Thank you for the interview
I like it Where are you Francis? want to meet with you
We really need the contact of Francis the Builder.
Please get in touch joeaaronsk@gmail.com
Good job but how do we make the corners and how do we make use of half like or some cuts like the cement blocks
Good job man.. Kindly Help me with your contact Mr. Francis..need to give you some work..
Hi.. Francis... what's the size of the brick..and weight..is it easily manageable to place and construct.. conventional clay bricks a bricklayer uses one hand...
Thank you for this video Ssebo!
Dear Francis , thanks for this interesting video , how can i find you ?
Why is the wall behind him shinning? the ones on his hand are not.
i think for the interlocking if they don't put plaster over the bricks then they can spray on this liquid stuff that prevents water & bugs to get into the cracks but this spray stuff you need to re spray every 3 - 5 years ,, i think that is what's giving a shine to the bricks in the background

If you want to make 10000 bricks issb how many cement needed
Come and make these bricks in Kenya. You will do very well.
I have the machine in Kenya
I am from western kenya, what could be current market price per brick?
how about plumbing and wiring, it might present a problem
Otherwise it is magnificent
Where are you
How do i get the machine pls
Super awesome 😎
Can you give me the dimention please?
Sir, do we need to add chemicals for stabilizing?
From my research, you don't need chemicals some only add some cement on little ratios.
these blocks are stabilized which means they add 8 to 10% cement. you can also substitute lime instead of cement
can the bricks be effective in making a storey house?
Sir what is its life time mixing with cement and without cement?
You need to use cement 5 to 10% no matter the soil type. Cement is what helps to stabilise it.
Awesome!!
Is it possible to make the bricks while building at the same time, ie each brick you make is immediately laid.
It can go both ways. There are different systems.
Where or how do I obtain a machine to make these? Please respond with something! IS there a hand made way I can make these?

hi, Francis. i would like to find out some thing, can you make these bricks without cement and then bake them
eric mangi its possible but u should be going agaist this technology which is based on green building.
So constructive answer
Are they fire safe? How many kinds are there? Can you make bigger ones say 12" by 24" this kind of machine sounds cool but is it manual to make?
one of the best parts about Earth blocks is dirt doesn't burn.
Are they parmanet like stones?

"making bricks on site", how about if you don't have enough earth suitable for bricks at the site?
subsoil can be bought and delivered to your site. That shouldn't be a problem at least in Africa

New term for clay..."sub soil" ?
An architect friend of mine built his house this way. It’s still standing, is very comfortable and beautiful. It won’t fall down.
Did you say they are also bullet proof hahaha... Just kidding.
