   In lieu of traditional bricks, locally-invented 'green block' is gradually becoming popular among realtors, as it is cheaper and disaster-resilient in a quake-vulnerable country.

 

The Housing and Building Research Institute (HBRI), under the Ministry of Housing and Public Works, invented the item recently. It is now being used by the realtors, which has reduced their dependency on traditional building materials.

 

People at HBRI in the city said that the demand for the block is on the rise, as the private sector realtors are opting to use the disaster-resilient and environment-friendly construction material.

 

The big real estate companies are producing the key building material on their own premises, as it needs a small piece of land.

 

They also said more than 20 top realtors in the country have set up their own factories for ensuring own supply of the building material.

 

The item, also known as 'hollow block', can be of 24 types depending on the design of the buildings.
