In an ideal world, construction projects would run smoothly without any unexpected changes. But in reality, project managers face a myriad of challenges, from unpredictable weather to fluctuating labour availability.
However, one thing that remains constant is the flexibility of clay brick, making it a reliable choice for all building projects. Unlike pre-configured materials, clay bricks adapt easily to changing project needs. With standardised dimensions and modular construction, clay bricks provide the flexibility needed to accommodate alterations without waste. Not to mention, clay bricks are manufactured locally to stringent standards and because it is easy to transport in batches, they cope with poor roads, difficult terrain and a lack of site space.
“One of the key benefits of brick walling is that no matter where you build in South Africa, you have fast access to experienced people and quality products. The clay brick industry in South Africa has both the capacity and the right products to deliver the best, the most cost-effective long-term solution to residential and commercial building projects,” explains Federale Stene.
“Competitively-priced, accredited brick suppliers can be found in every region, providing consistent quality stock-in-hand and short transport distances.
“Our ‘superbricks’, for instance, come in a range of non-standard, large sizes that lower material costs, use less mortar and have fewer joins per square metre. The 140mm wide bricks are popular in the inland regions, where one can build a single wall that not only has even higher strength than a standard-size brick but is also easier to build with and meets SABS10400XA for a single leaf wall. And, of course, fewer bricks per square metre afford savings in mortar and faster construction.
“In addition, clay bricks have known parameters for use with different foundations, soils and climate zones, ensuring consistent strength, timing and costs.”
