Answer 4

Depending upon where you live, there are always places known for better quality of bricks,eg if you are in Western UP/Dehradun area, you get good bricks from Shamli.

Quality of bricks to a layman, as he sees and feels them , is that they should not be coming off, but should be solid and smooth to an extent. Rest, your mason will be able to tell you about the quality as he sees them. The bricks should not be burnt,folded/bent and over ripe.
