Advantages and disadvantages of blockwork

THe main advantages of blockwork over brickwork are :
  1. Labour saving (easy to cut , larger units )
  2. Easier fixing ( must take direct fixing of screws and nails
  3. Lower density
  4. higher termal insulation properties
  5. Provides a suitable key for plaster and cement rendering
THe main disadvantage are :
  1. lower strength
  2. Loss resistance to rain penetration
  3. loadbearing properties less ( one- or two storey application )
  4. lower sound insulation properties .
