ABSTRACT
The construction industry faces increasing challenges in achieving sustainable, eco-friendly practices while meeting the growing demand for housing. This research project explores the viability of interlocking earth brick as a sustainable building material for residential construction in Edo State, Nigeria. interlocking earth brick, an ancient construction technique, offers significant potential for sustainable building due to its low environmental impact, availability of raw materials, and thermal mass properties. The research will encompass a comprehensive analysis of solutions for cost-effectiveness for interlocking earth brick in the context of Edo State's local construction practices.
The use of interlocking earth brick construction offers a sustainable and low-cost solution for modern architecture. Interlocking earth brick, a material made of 100% earth material, combined with experience, know-how, and technology, provides a durable and aesthetically unique solution.
By examining the technical, economic, and environmental aspects of interlocking earth brick, this research aims to provide valuable insights, sustainability, cost effectiveness and recommendations for promoting its adoption as a sustainable building material in Edo State, ultimately contributing to the region's sustainable development goals
