The process of making bricks for the construction sector is depicted in the diagram. The method consists of seven steps total, starting with clay excavation and ending with delivery.

First, a big digger excavates the clay needed to produce the bricks from the earth. After that, the clay is spread out across a metal grid to be broken up into tiny bits. A roller helps with this procedure. 

After that, the clay is mixed with sand and water, and the resulting mixture is formed into bricks by either using a wire cutter or putting it into a mold. These bricks are then dried for a whole day or two in an oven. 

The bricks go through a heating and cooling procedure in the next step. They undergo two to three days of cooling in a chamber after being heated in a kiln to temperatures between 200 and 1300 degrees Celsius. The bricks are then packaged and shipped to their final locations.
