    This document compares the cost and properties of brick walls and block walls for construction. A brick wall costs Rs. 2,177 per square meter using plaster, putty and gypsum while a block wall costs Rs. 2,000 per square meter. Block walls have better compressive strength, water absorption, thermal conductivity, sound insulation, and quality control compared to brick walls. However, brick walls are more readily available and have less wastage than block walls.
