Re: Need advice on choosing brick type.

It is time for India to move towards light weight construction, if structure is designed for light weight blocks , it consumes lesser amount of steel, lighter weight makes it easier for labour too.

Re: Regarding residential elevator

Try Schindler, Kone, Johnson, Otis, These are too good brands, Usha and Surya are top Indian brands. Johnson I suppose is Indian.

Servicing is more important in elevators.
