The soil, raw or stabilized, for a compressed earth block is slightly moistened, poured into a steel press (with or without stabiliser) and then compressed either with a manual or motorized press. CEB can be compressed in many different shapes and sizes.
This is a commercial (proprietary/patented) system by the Texan company Earthco for building very large blocks of compressed earth, called "Megablock". It produces very large blocks (weight ~1 metric ton) that …
pressed blocks that, "It had taken 267 five-hour mule trips to carry up needed supplies (sinks, roof, cement, etc.) for a. community built schoolhouse. But thanks to the CINVA-Ram earthen block press, farmers didn't need to haul heavy cement blocks--saving at least 500 more mule trips!" BASIC THEORY OF THE TECHNOLOGY

If the soil is bought, the cost will vary as below: Assuming soil is bought and transported to the site at a cost of KES 500 per ton, this translates to 225 bricks per ton costing KES 0.3 per brick. There will be an additional cost of KES 0.3 X 33 bricks per m2=KES 10 per m2. This will total KES 388 per m2. FREE SOIL.
