Where can I get bricks for a single-family house?

Hello,

I am just starting with the house planning and wondering where to get bricks or offers for bricks.
Can they be ordered on the internet like everything else or do I have to buy them locally because they are so big and heavy?
I would be interested in bricks like the Leipfinger-Bader 42.5 - UNIPOR W08 - Plan (247 x 425 x 249).

Best regards
Peter

Local building materials trade.

Edit: For special items, call the manufacturer and ask for distribution partners.

Hello Peter Hausbau,

basically, the regional building materials dealer is the first point of contact, as wrote. But it is also worth asking construction companies from the region, as they have better conditions. Maybe they will give something away. Even if it only results in delivery to the construction site.

Are you building the shell yourself? Normally, your shell builder provides the appropriate bricks. Otherwise, the tip about a local building materials dealer is very good; we built our garage in EL and had all the materials delivered by the building materials dealer.

Yes, I plan to do the shell construction myself. I have an acquaintance who is a bricklayer, he can help me a bit.

If you plan to do the masonry yourself: please don't. Masonry is not a trade for nothing. If you have time, better get two experienced masons who want to earn some extra money and let yourself be guided and assist them. But be sure to check with the [BG] beforehand.
