White sand is cheap and easily available. Blocks can be made at the site with a simple mold.
Clay bricks need clay and energy to bake it in a controlled environment.
clay bricks may be not be cheaper. You need to crunch numbers if you write about this topic.

I agree with the comments above. I do not remember the size of the concrete blocks used in Guyana but they were bigger than clay blocks and can be laid much quicker and does nort reqire the same skill in laying.
Energy is also requred to produce cement.
