FROM A LIFE CYCLE POINT OF VIEW NO BUILDING SYSTEM IS CHEAPER.

Compressed Earth Blocks Cost and Life Cycle

DATA SURROUNDING THE COST OF EARTH BLOCKS

Earth Blocks are generally cheaper than fired bricks and other materials.

Cost comparison of walls (blocks are produced on site):

Earth Blocks Cost

(24 cm thick wall)

3,067 Rs. per m₃
736 Rs. per m₂

Country Fired Brick Cost

(22 cm thick wall)

4,243 Rs. per m₃
934 Rs. per m₂

A finished m₃ wall of Earth Blocks costs
27.7% cheaper than country fired bricks

Earth Block Buildings Are Efficient & Cost-Effective

Earth blocks have excellent thermal performance due to the thermal mass of the blocks, reducing heating and cooling costs. Additionally, regulation of humidity through the breathability of the walls reduces the need for air conditioning systems.
