Do we know the dimensions of the 1000$ house? And what is included in this price? I can't find it in the article

Because if I take tiny 3m x 3m house with height of 2,5 m. With standard bricks of 375mm x 250 mm x 250 mm - that's 320 bricks. I found cheapest bricks for 2.58 €, that's 825 € for all bricks. Sure you need cement and a roof but all I'm saing, the price of wall material usualy isn't a problem
