PSA 📢: BRICK CAN AND SHOULD BE PRICED PER SQUARE FOOT Nearly all new home building materials are priced by the square foot and it’s been that way for many years. After all, it makes it easy for #homeowners to determine the #affordability of the "must have's" in their #homedesign. And guess what? Brick can and should be priced by the square foot, not by the thousand. 😓 We’re on a mission to transform the way brick is traditionally priced for good by encouraging homeowners to ask their builders to price #brick by the square foot. Visit a General Shale store and you’ll find we’re already displaying the square foot cost on product samples. 🫶 🧱 Here’s a great resource our friends at the Brick Industry Association have on their website 📲https://lnkd.in/ewHCVmm9
