This new type of block can easily provide corner stability, matching with the stretcher, foundation and RC modest beams. And by modest we meant a beam of limited capabilities due to controls and iron quantity, that RC usually can have in this context.

Incremental Blocks + Reinforced Concrete (IB-RC) frames is the title for this finalist competition entry. Different size of frames allowed different size of families to start a new life in NE Nigeria, gradually, with this tremendously economic oriented solution of 1 part of cement and 7 of sand.

Cinder blocks are made of earth (sand) stabilized with few cement portions, resulting in a local, affordable and strong construction material with low maintenance costs.
