i don't think it is needed to check if the parts are cut well but I haven't built one so big

Ha ha good spot. We have to use 18GA nails to keep the box in place for transport purpose. After few projects we should have put screws in few of those large pieces to ensure safe loading and unloading from transport vehicle. Once building in place you don't need typical screw/nail pattern to lock everything in. The only caveat is, foundation attachment is almost in all cases will involve some sort of structural connection with mechanical fastener.

@@pulpbuild For a permanent structure, is waterproof glue recommended as well as the nails/screws?

Rocker kit is pretty impressive. We have just placed an order for 10 off kits. So I guess we like it.

It’s WISA spruce special 18mm and the cost about £38+VAT if you buy a full stack. Charges depend on what your workshop overhead is but it’s typically 20min per sheet to cut so about £25 if your hourly rate is £75.

@@pulpbuild thank for this cheers

Thank you

Thank you

Thank you 👍

Services are not within the wall in this project. They are in the service void created by 38mm battens and plasterboard.

See bottom of this page for comparison: www.wikihouse.cc/About - u-value = 0.15 W/m2K and airtightness of 1-3 m3/h.m2, so yes it would save money for the end user in terms of energy to run the building

@@christiaant really? and how was that calculated?

@@flyingdiscproductions these calculations are made by calculating the thermal conductivity of each element together as a whole wall construction, which gives you the u-value. The lower the figure the less heat will transfer through the construction, making it easier to retain heat in winter and keep heat out in summer. The airtightness can be measured directly using a blower test. Again the lower the figure the tighter the construction and therefore the more control you have over ventilation, ensuring you don’t lose excess heat when ventilating the building.

I saw a video from the ceo and she said it wont cost any less to build, its faster to build and slightly less costly to maintain.. i think its a wonderful idea but fillied with flaws. Especially now that sheets of plywood have doubled in cost in the last year...

And its not any more environmentaly benifitial other then the equipment used in normal construction...

Norte Fotográfico Hi Norte, digital files are not available on the public domain but you can join the Slack group here www.wikihouse.cc/Blackbird for full access to the wikihouse community and design files.

Fair-point as this is not meant to replace any traditional construction methods but give wider choice to consumer with higher U-Values (300mm deep insulated walls), low thermal bridging, very airtight and reduced onsite labour cost as most construction is done in the workshop without having to worry about UK weather.

The technology has been proven extensively at the commercial level. At the DIY level the system will likely never replace conventional homes but is great for small out buildings. Scandinavians have been applying the syatem for decades.

yup - how many hours to cut all that plyboard?

@@pulpbuild higher u-values that concrete or styrofoam?

@@flyingdiscproductions 3 weeks of cutting. I guess you can do the maths for cost and hours by a small workshop.

Due to the current situation in the UK with Covid-19, all site work is paused. Once it is ready you are more than welcome to visit as it is an open for public cafe. Located at Cotteridge Park - Birmingham, UK 🇬🇧

Jason Lloyd Yes vapour barrier went in. See our Instagram page for site progress. instagram.com/pulpbuild_uk/

it is not like it is rocket science.

@@flyingdiscproductions We are glad you recognised the ease of this system.

@@pulpbuild yet the ease comes with higher cost and use of plywood.

@@flyingdiscproductions Why do you think it would be a higher cost? Than what? One thing you would need to take account of when costing something like this is the time and wages of skilled labour. And what's wrong with plywood?

@@christiaant What's wrong with plywood? Well, that is a whole discussion. And yes, I use plywoods. And most can't be outside even painted, before they degrade ... maybe 5-7 years in some places.
