520 _aReports on Novabrik, a new type of concrete-based brick, which simply hooks over the previous course, with no mortar being required. It has significant labour cost and time advantages over traditional bricks; using Novabriks, an apartment block was constructed in seven weeks by three men, whereas an identical block using bricks and mortar took six men twelve weeks to build.
