Compressed Earth Bricks in Nigeria
Our signature product: interlocking earth bricks made from local laterite soil, which cut walling cost by 30–40% per unit.
What makes our bricks different
- 01
Laterite soil
Bricks start from laterite, a composite soil and a locally available resource.
- 02
Stabilised
The soil is stabilised with a small percentage of cement and water.
- 03
Compressed
It is manually compressed at high pressure to form bricks, using very little energy.
The result: housing cost comes down by 30–40% of the total walling cost per unit.
Six benefits of earth brick
Affordability
CEB saves between 30 and 40% of the total walling unit cost.
Local jobs
Building with local materials employs local people.
Fire resistance
Bricks are fire resistant. Earthen walls do not burn.
Uniform blocks
The uniformity of the blocks simplifies construction and minimises or eliminates the need for mortar, reducing labour and materials costs.
Speed and availability
CEB supports high-speed delivery of a building, usually within 6 weeks, and materials are easily sourced, which minimises shipping costs.
Moisture control
Earth absorbs and releases moisture from indoor air, stabilising humidity inside rooms and helping to prevent mould.
Where we have built with CEB
Our bricks are a registered trademark, proven on 100 housing units at Nigerian Navy Barracks, Kuje, the Navy Barracks at Atimbo and the Navy School at Akpabuyo.
Common questions
What are Compressed Earth Bricks?
Compressed Earth Bricks (CEB) are building bricks made from laterite soil, stabilised with a small percentage of cement and water, then manually compressed at high pressure.
Are Compressed Earth Bricks the same as interlocking bricks?
Our CEB are interlocking earth bricks. Their uniform shape simplifies construction and minimises or eliminates the need for mortar.
How much can I save with interlocking bricks in Nigeria?
Using CEB reduces the cost of housing by 30–40% of the total walling cost per unit. The saving on your project depends on its design, so contact us for a quote.
Are earth bricks strong enough for a house?
Yes. We have used them for completed Navy barracks, a school campus and residential homes across Nigeria. Our quality system follows Federal Ministry of Works standards.
