FAQs
WHAT IS LEGOBRICK SYSTEMS AND DESIGNS?
It is a pioneering Filipino manufacturing company that introduces brick as a practical and economical building block. What is unique about it is that it brings to the Philippines the modular interlocking system where the brick used is a “hollow brick.” This means it could accommodate steel and cement which makes it different from the bricks sold in the Philippine market which is merely decorative and cladded.
We inspire to build with brick by supplying (with transfer technology) and / or building elegant, genuine brick homes and other constructions.
WHERE IS LSD’S MAIN OFFICE?
LSD’s main office is in Rizal Ave., Olongapo City and we manufacture our bricks at a 1.2 hectare production plant in New Cabalan, Olongapo City. However, for our Metro Manila clients, we schedule an onsite presentation and briefing at on-going project sites.
WILL LSD CONSTRUCT OR DO CLIENTS SIMPLY BUY THE BRICKS?
LSD has accredited contractors and builders to do the construction but if our client wants to do it themselves, we work with them, making sure that there is a thorough transfer of technology. We will only charge for minimal supervision fee.
HOW DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY IS THE BRICK REQUIRED FOR A HOUSE OR A BUILDING?
Formula: Brick size [2x4x8 inch. (96 bricks per sq.m) or 2.5x5x10 inch. (64 bricks per sq.m)] multiplied by walling area in sq. m. minus wall openings = indicative amount of bricks needed.
COULD YOU BUILD A HIGH RISE WITH LEGOBRICK?
Yes. The first project of LSD was in Baguio City. A 3 storey home completely made out of brick. We also did a 4 storey building in Olongapo City. The main components in constructing with a “hollow brick” is the same as constructing with hollow blocks, e.g. footing, foundation, rebars, cement, stirrups, etc. The difference is in the “look” and “feel.” Brick is more elegant and room temperature is much cooler.
HOW MUCH IS LEGOBRICK?
-we supply 3 sizes of brick building blocks as well as brick cladding
- to get rough estimate of building, formula is total wall area in sq.m x number of bricks minus openings. There are 96 regular bricks / sq.m or 64 big brick / sq.m. regular is 14 pesos inclusive of vat and delivery, big is 21 pesos inclusive of vat and delivery. builder's step by step manual is free. other costs to building are minimal that's why it not expensive. for waterproofing, we use liquid silicone
HOW DOES LEGOBRICK COMPARE WITH HOLLOW BLOCKS?
As to aesthetics and elegance, there is no comparison. Brick is the building block par excellence. As to pricing, while a hollow block is taller and could cover more walling area when you set it, the numerous stages to finish the wall, adds to cost. Brick is faster to lay and set and requires less finishing yet. Over-all savings would be at 20% to 30% depending on factors like, e.g., how good mason is, kind of finishing, etc.
As to construction methodology, what is done using hollow block, is done with a hollow brick. Same footing, foundation and distribution of steel bars.
Basically, brick is clay-based while hollow block is sand-based. This difference is the basis for asserting that brick homes are more suitable in tropical climates as clay is a natural insulator. Sand and cement are known to absorb heat. This is why the brick homes we have built are cool and less humid inside.
What is the difference between legobrick and ordinary bricks?
Legobrick is a hollow brick that is structural not decorative unlike brick veneers or brick clads. Legobrick has holes to accommodate steel and cement. It also has interlocking grooves to lock bricks with the help of a thin mortar paste.
