Sustainable construction using innovative interlocking bricks.

The need for sustainable construction.

There is an increasing trend towards sustainable construction the world over. In Kerala, India – the Toughie brand of innovative interlocking bricks, based at Perumbavoor in Ernakulam district of Kerala, is leading the sustainable construction movement. Sustainable construction is based on sound ecological principles and focuses on reuse, renewal, and recycling along with conversation, use of non-toxic materials and ensuring quality of construction. Toughie meets all these parameters in its journey as a leader in sustainable construction.

 

Bricks that last a lifetime.

Toughie interlocking bricks in Ernakulam are true to their name by being strong and lasting a lifetime. They can be easily deconstructed and re-assembled for a new home at a later stage. The bricks are energy-efficient and help in making a home cool during summer and conserving warmth during winter.

Toughie bricks have engineered the most efficient way to create homes and buildings. The techniques and methods have been refined over the years through constant research. The materials, process, and method have been updated over time to create the best methodologies.

How Toughie interlocking bricks ensure sustainability:

• A minimum amount of water is utilized in the manufacturing process.
• The bricks are engineered to last for a lifetime.
• They can be reused – the bricks can be unstacked on decommission of the project and used in the construction of a new building or home.
• All efforts for energy efficiency and utilization of green technology are ensured.

Additionally:

• Precise use of materials to reduce waste.
• Recycling of waste.
• Adaptive reuse projects are encouraged through the transformation of old buildings.
• Environment-friendly home construction.
• Energy conservation methods adapted.
• Efficient recycling of materials.

 

Toughie and entrepreneurship development.

Toughie interlocking bricks, based in Ernakulam in Kerala encourages entrepreneurship and job creation. We are now entering into business partnership engagements with promising entrepreneurs to create manufacturing facilities in their region and increasing the job potential in their region. Toughie interlocking bricks are also leading the research into lighter, stronger, and more sustainable building materials.

We are making a great effort to reduce the carbon footprint of homes and building construction by using new materials efficiently. The need for better aesthetics and cleaner, modern sensibility is being met with clean-cut bricks that offer a better look and meld into better home designs.

 

Sustainability through efficiency.

It is widely understood that by using materials efficiently, the carbon footprint of homes and buildings that are being newly constructed, can be reduced considerably. Toughie interlocking bricks efficiently delivers more value for money per square feet of construction than traditional brick or block construction.

The reduction in the time and labor of construction leads to the direct benefit to the house owner and the construction company. All key elements like sand, cement, and water need to be consumed less with Toughie interlocking bricks, leading to greater savings. There is no need for cement mixers and mortar during the construction other than for the base level fixing when constructing walls.

With Toughie interlocking bricks, the efficient use of labor will mean about a 40-60% reduction in the cost of labor and time of construction. The need for water can be reduced by about 70-90% than regular mortar-based construction. Material handling costs are also reduced considerably.

Minimize costs and increase value.

The art of deriving better profits from construction projects for the contractor is attained through efficiency. Toughie interlocking bricks are essential for the success of the construction industry because they can lead to better profits. Lower resources like water and energy are required in the construction process. The house and building owners are happy because it means a lower price of construction for them. For the contractor, it means faster delivery and the opportunity to take up more projects than before.

 

Less work, less waste.

Sustainable construction based on interlocking bricks from Toughie helps save time and money. The workers can build more efficiently and faster. There is no need for plastering on the outside walls or even on the interior walls of the house. Some house owners do prefer to have their inner walls plastered with mortar or putty. As construction is a multi-million-rupee industry even in a relatively small state like Kerala, the higher efficiencies and lower costs can mean substantial savings for the industry as a whole. It also means a better impact on the environment with lower inputs of water and energy, reduced use of energy-intensive construction materials like cement and mortar.

 

Awareness for sustained construction is growing.

The newer generation of homemakers and construction professionals are more aware of the need to protect the environment and conserve materials. It is this new thinking that is driving the industry forward and increasing the demand for Toughie interlocking bricks in Ernakulam. Today there is sustained effort for environmentally friendly construction.
