      abstract = {The evaluation of ceramic materials is a crucial area of research and innovation in the construction industry. Ceramic bricks are widely used as building materials due to their superior properties such as high strength, durability, thermal insulation, and fire resistance. This paper focuses on the comparison of Isan and Ire Ekiti clay materials for use of a ceramic brick manufacturing plant in Ekiti State, Nigeria. Originally mud bricks were used and they were made by human hands manually, today, the process of brick making has become much easier with emerging technologies and discoveries, using brick making plant. Bricks are produced in a very easy and faster rate. Providing adequate housing requires continuous research and investment especially in appropriate technologies that reduce the cost of construction and the cost to the environment. Ceramic brick production is one of such appropriate technologies. Soil samples were collected from the borrow pits within the two towns in Ekiti State. Preliminary geotechnical tests were conducted to determine the engineering properties of the soils so as to determine the best sample(s) or to know whether ceramic blocks can be produced in the communities. The soil samples were tested in order to know their performance characteristics, compressive strength, density and water absorption. The results from the study show that the soil samples consist of varying proportions of mineral compositions which form baseline data with regards to the characterization of clay samples. The study revealed that ceramic bricks manufacturing company can be sited in the two places since raw materials for the production are readily available in good quality.},
