1. The site to be selected should be capable of providing an adequate quantity of soil during the entire planned production period.
2. Additional materials, such as sand or silt, required to make good bricks should also be available near the site.
3. Water and fuel should also be available near the site; otherwise extra cost may be incurred for transport.
4. It should be connected by road and rail for easy conveyance of the produced bricks.
5. The ground of the site must be situated as a plain ground.
6. The location of the water table should be at a deeper depth.
