Village-level brickmaking

Más información sobre el libro

The manual is intended for the first-time producer wishing to produce fired clay bricks on a smallscale using the minimum of infrastructure and investment. For example, it is for those individuals, projects, government departments and non government agencies who find themselves in the position of having to produce their own building materials because none are available on the localmarket. It is also for those who intend to start producing bricks full-time to supply bricks for the local market; for brickmakers who already produce bricks but need an easy to understand book on how to improve their production; as a training manual to accompany a practical hands-on brickmaking course; and for those in government departments who have the role of encouraging and supporting the small-scale production of building materials and who do not make the bricks themselves but need to understand all of the practical aspects of brickmaking.
