Concrete blocks or bricks

Hello , i intend to embark upon the construction of a 13 marla house. What i don’t get is the proper information regarding hollow blocks vs bricks. Which is better and which would save me money and is yet durable. What are the good known suppliers of concrete blocks and what would be the price?

Merits & demerits of both materials are as follows;

Blocks are about 50% cheap than bricks

Blocks help in insulation of heat

Blocks are prone to seepage

Bricks are more durable than blocks

Life of A class are as long as 100 years but blocks deteriorate within 25 years

Bricks are more suitable to be used in houses / bungalows

Blocks are convenient in multistorey /frame structure buildings

Bricks are better than blocks. They are little costly but lot more better than hollow blocks.
