Has anyone ever heard of or used Eco blocks  for a foundation?  I am going to build a 20x 24 timber frame on my property.  Problem is i cannot get a concrete truck up my driveway.  My dirt work contractor suggested using those 2'x2'x4' concrete blocks (eco blocks) as footings I would use 9 of them and bury them about a foot in the gravel pad.  It seems like a good idea but i have not found any examples of houses built on these things.  Any thoughts?

What we have is called Mafia Blocks made from extra cement that is washed out of cement trucks. So no two blocks exactly the same . Sells for about $40. Same rough dimensions 2x2x4.

You probably can't get a fire truck in either  :)
We pulled the concrete trucks up here with a dozer but I happen to know the brush truck is the only one that can get to the house. I wasn't always this brilliant  :D.

these blocks are about $130 a piece.
