@matekwa thanks u mentioned hydraform. What is the viability of making a residential hse using hydraform? Considering that you plant to put up in an area that has cotton so meaning ull have to buy soil to make the hydraform

I have done some research and found out that the new type of interlocking soil blocks do not need mortar for joining. The surface is so smooth that there is no need for plastering. The construction time is greatly reduced.

@pablo i got the number for makiga but the lady who picked the phone said thir architect is on leave but anarudi soon and it would be best to visit wen they r there
for those who who have never seen a hydraform hse contact kickstart.org or jamii bora trust.
