Manual stone quarrying

Back breaking stuff.

Easily fixed by a few equipment readily available around the world! These artisanal stones are so much better and valuable than the concrete stuff we have come to depend on.

This is where banks would have made a huge difference. Equipment financing for existing businesses like these to improve their output - but guess what, the so called banks are competing with small time house builders. It is just greed or is this just incompetence?

Both!

Even when it comes to the actual building industry, the developer whether bank or otherwise just want to use imported plaster rendering on the outside and paint which is again imported. They could use these stones to render the outside of the building which would last for centuries and not require paint every few years. Similar to the Radio Hargeisa building.

Imagine if they did the grey painted accent parts in stone rendering!
