I would like to use more brick but up to now it has been almost impossible due to cost. The cost is not in the material as such but in the cost of brick and block layers. A few years ago now brick and block layers effectively held the construction industry to ransom and, as a result, contractors and developers moved away to alternative methods and subcontractors – which saw a meteoric rise in stone clad concrete and steel.
I hope that the current economic climate will allow brick to make a reappearance but I think it’s still a way away yet. The planners have a part to play in this as much as the developers and builders.
