      most cities in the US will not allow alternative like this , too many building codes and restrictions ... if you go far away from big cities you might have a better chance in a city allowing you to build with this

    Is there a particular mole that fabricates the blocks?

      Thanks Tombo..I used 3k bricks to build my Eco lodge. Averagely 2k bricks can build a 4 room house. You can use the soil around you, but it has to be tested first. The machines that produces the bricks comes with it moulds of different sizes. I hope to purchase one from South Africa soon. Cheers
