In most cases and regions a "building block" refers to a concrete cinder block primarily used for constructing the foundation of many homes, but is especially true when a sturdy foundation is necessary as in tall commercial buildings, bridges, over passes, interstate median walls, ect. Due to the amount of heavy traffic and weather conditions water corrosion and even impact these structures must endure. Usually the bigger, taller, or high capacity weight bearing structures are cinder blocks interlaced with thick steel support beams. They are extremely strong because they are made of cement rather than clay dirt or sand, which also makes them alot less costly, but less appealing as well. Think of a grey cement block with the two squares cut out ..that is your common building block.
