Which masonry material is used for cost reduction?(a) Stone blocks(b) Concrete blocks(c) Laterite blocks(d) Cement blocksI had been asked this question in exam.I would like to ask this question from Cost Effective Construction Techniques in section Building Construction of Basic Civil Engineering

Answer» RIGHT choice is (b) Concrete blocks

To explain I WOULD say: Concrete blocks consume only 1/3^rd of energy used in the PRODUCTION of red bricks. It reduces the wall thickness from 20 to 15cm, and mortar also. Overall reduction in the cost of 10 to 25% can be achieved.
