Building Pakistan’s Future: Bricks Industry and Zarea’s Offerings

Introduction to Bricks Industry:

Bricks are an essential building material, laying the foundation for homes, commercial buildings, and infrastructure across Pakistan. As the construction industry continues to expand, the demand for durable, cost-effective, and sustainable bricks is at an all-time high. Zarea, Pakistan’s largest B2B commodities platform, is at the forefront of meeting this demand by offering a wide range of high-quality bricks that cater to various construction needs.

An Overview of the Bricks Industry in Pakistan:

The brick industry in Pakistan is vast, with over 18,000 operational brick kilns contributing to the production of billions of bricks annually. The introduction of zig-zag kiln technology has been a significant leap toward reducing carbon emissions and increasing production efficiency by about 35%. This innovation not only aligns with Pakistan’s commitment to sustainable development but also offers businesses a more eco-friendly alternative to traditional methods​.

Bricks are categorized based on their production methods, durability, and environmental impact. Zarea ensures that these variations are accessible to contractors and builders across the country, streamlining the process of procurement through its digital platform.

Types of Bricks Offered by Zarea:

At Zarea, we offer a range of brick options that cater to different construction requirements. Here’s an overview of the types of bricks available on our platform:

  1. Awwal (Grade A) Bricks
    These are high-quality, machine-made bricks, priced at around 20-21 PKR per brick. Known for their durability, Awwal bricks are ideal for exterior walls and foundations, providing excellent thermal insulation and resistance to wear​
  2. Doam (Grade B) Bricks
    Slightly less expensive than Awwal bricks, Doam bricks are typically used for interior walls. They maintain structural integrity but are more affordable, priced at 15 PKR per brick, making them a popular choice for residential projects​.
  3. Fly Ash Bricks
    As an eco-friendly alternative, fly ash bricks are made from recycled industrial waste. These bricks are not only lighter but also offer superior strength and moisture resistance. Priced at around 22-23 PKR per brick, they provide a sustainable and cost-effective option for both commercial and residential construction​.
  4. Hollow Concrete Blocks
    Another alternative to traditional bricks, hollow concrete blocks are often used for load-bearing structures. They offer excellent insulation and are easier to handle, making them perfect for large-scale projects​

Logistics and Pricing Factors:

Several factors impact brick pricing in Pakistan, including transportation costs, fuel prices, and labor expenses. The location of brick kilns relative to construction sites plays a major role in determining final costs, with transportation often adding a significant amount to the total. For instance, transporting bricks from remote kilns to urban construction sites can increase costs by up to 10%​

Zarea simplifies this process by leveraging its nationwide logistics network, ensuring that bricks are delivered efficiently, no matter the location. This seamless supply chain management helps keep project timelines on track, reducing delays and additional expenses for builders.

Sustainability in Brick Production:

The environmental impact of traditional brick kilns has been a growing concern, particularly due to the significant carbon emissions and air pollution they generate. However, the adoption of zig-zag kiln technology is revolutionizing the industry. This method reduces coal consumption and emissions, aligning with global climate goals​

Zarea is committed to supporting this transition by offering sustainable brick options like fly ash bricks, which reduce the need for clay and other natural resources while recycling industrial byproducts. By choosing sustainable bricks, contractors and builders not only contribute to reducing environmental harm but also benefit from lower long-term costs​.

The environmental impact of brick kilns has raised significant concerns, particularly due to the high levels of carbon emissions and air pollution they generate.
