Answer- The Single or the Double multi purpose brick presses are supplied with pallets that allow you to make  Solid, Channel, Floor, Kerb, Half and Coping bricks by simply inserting any one of the pallets to achieve your desired purpose.

22]. Can you confirm if the Brick presses can be automated or hydraulically/electrically powered?

Answer- Bolyn constructions company limited is not planning the above at this time because of the level of acceptance of the technology at the moment. We hope to give this a consideration when the level of awareness is increased and we have guarantee that we will get enough patronage. Since this is going to be a capital intensive venture in terms of Fabrication machinery, a lot planning is needed before venturing in to such project etc.

23]. Can we use Stabilized bricks to build multi storey buildings?

Answer- Yes, All multi storey buildings have structural work that are to be designed by the Engineer who will allow for the weights of all the needed bricks to be used in the walling of the house plus other loads. Note that once the structural framework for the house is in place, bricks become partitioning materials only.

24]. Why is the Federal and State government not using this technology in their housing delivery?

Answer- The various level of government acknowledged the importance and the need to adopt this technology in the housing of the low and medium income earners. The lack of good planning and the endemic corruption at all levels of governance have been some of the impediments.

26]. What percentage savings can I get if I use Stabilized bricks for the construction of my house?

Answer- Stabilized bricks are for the walling of buildings and depending on the percentage of the Cement used in the mixture of Soil Cement bricks, this savings also will vary.

27]. Can I pay for the Brick making machine by installment?
