Probably relative to the price of regular framing in that area, as opposed to the cost of manufactured components. You would have to get bids on conventional building and on this style and compare. I was carpenter for 25 years and never seen anything just like this.

This would have been so much better if there was some kind of breakdown on how those modules work, and how you read the plans. Seeing the finished result wouldn't have hurt either!
not to mention, it claims to be faster, but thats just because the structural parts were fabricated before arriving on site. I mean gd, if I had walls already pre made and shipped, instead of having to build the frame on site, the normal way would be faster too. This is just a modular system for building, not a better / faster one.
It looks like a simple rectangle with 2 foam inserts. The bottom layer is wood with wood squares designed to push the foam up so the foam pushes the next layer up so they can interlock. By not having them sticking out to begin with, you can store more in less space. You connect corners together to prevent the wall from falling out... for next story the foam is removed from one side and the boards are used in that area - then some other filler is used. And it probably just alternates between sides to ensure it locks together. This is pretty basic for anyone who has ever played with legos... Although the fact they still stud inside is meh... Sure, they have to run the cables but they could've incorporated that into the design.
With a bit of work, a system like this could go far. All of those blocks can be made, completely by machine, all winter long. I don't know that I would build the whole house like that but it's all recycled and it is going to be silent and warm

Wondering about the title: “less inexpensive”, this is a double negative and would mean “more expensive” 🤔 But at least they are having fun with their life size LEGO house. 😎👍
If it is expensive, at least it's modular. That is what I saw in this concept or product, others will expand on it, still a good idea for quick, relatively simple building for anyone
Don't we see them starting frames inside the house on the walls themselves? I thought that was what I was seeing, which means the waste of materials goes even higher.
Yes. So the only option ist laying bricks or building a concrete house to do it "right"? I've seen how the standard house in the US is build. Redicilous. And in Portugal and Greece? A nightmare. Without constant work on them, they decay in no time.
GERntleMAN lol. There is no “Standard house” in the US. The US has many different regions. Some are prone to Earthquakes, some are prone to hurricanes, some are phone to frost heave, some are prone to fires, etc. There is no “One size fits all” in the US. My house had been doing fine for over 80 years, works just fine.
@@Hizenbird Seems like the meaning of standard is a little different in English. Maybe average would be more precise. Nontheless I am talking about building quality.
@@GERntleMAN no such thing as a standard house here in the US. Stability and proper construction depends on the year it was built. 1930s-1950s houses are usually better than 1970s-1980s houses. But there are some neighborhoods that have the same looking houses
Am I missing something or does this house have an insane amount of thermal bridging? Maybe this would be viable if you put some 2”+ polyiso zip on the outside like a house wrap?

@@Emtbwebb I’m a Brit too. Yeah, I don’t see this as being the future of houses, not unless all the osb boards are made from recycled wood. Looks nice though although I’m with you, can’t beat a brick built house.
How will this hold up to hurricane and/or strong winds? Will any of these materials produce toxic smoke when burned? What cost savings can be expected over similar traditional construction methods?
@@KingWhiskers1 But what about the plumbing and duct work? That takes up a lot of space. Do they drill massive holes all over the place? In a normal house construction there are detailed plans as to where to run electrical, hot and cold water, plumbing and duct work. Where are they going to put the ducts? Those take a lot of space. Looks like nothing but a gimmick to me. I would never even consider building a house in such a manner. And in what location would building codes even allow it.
Bloody marvelous. Gotta love it, a house built LEGO style. What I want to know, is what these grey cubes are? Is that some kind of foam, is it plastic? This is definitely a lot more sturdy than common framing construction and I bet it's a lot more energy efficient too
I wouldn't assume it's any stronger than 2 x 4s or 2 X 6s (or 2 x 8s if your in Sweden); these blocks can come apart almost as easily as they went together, while studs excel at tensile strength. But, I assume the finished building would have drywall covering the interior and brick, stucco, or some other siding, with maybe some strapping for reinforcement, on the outside. I'm sure it meets whatever local codes apply to any other type of construction.
I was gonna say that lol. I also fail to see how this uses less resources. You still have to hang studs and how do they do plumbing and electrical? Wouldn't it be cheaper and easier to manufacture the full walls and ship them in?
I will say that a good framing crew can frame a house in half the time it took this one to built. I’d love to know the price per square ft to build this.
@@sewpungyow5154 The exterior wall spaces had gray foam blocks inside the wooden frames. The ceiling trusses were empty when they put up, but the workers added insulation blocks to selected spaces as they were laying dow plywood for the second floor. If you look at what they were doing for the interior, they put up 2x4 studs against the inside of the block walls. Presumably they wood put electrical and plumbing in those spaces just like any other house. The use of full size blocks for interior walls is the part I find to be the most silly. That is a lot of interior space to sacrifice for each wall since the blocks are about twice or thrice as thick as a standard residential wall.
Henry Qi I think the 2x4’s furring strips on the inside of the house may be for the electrical and possibly small waterlines but for the main stack not sure how they handle that
This would work great for exterior walls you would probably want to use normal stick frame construction for interior walls. So you have something run plumbing and electrical and so on
@ObamaReally Suucks Probably because 75% of the English speaking world speak English-English and American English is an oxymoron but probably so are you!
@@Roobeyns traditional japanese building are some of the longest lasting sturdiest buildings. that makes them cheap in the long run or it used to be(few are trained in the style anymore) .cheap now = expensive later. easy now = headache and a ton of work later when it fails and damages other things.
just because it goes up fast does not mean it is faster, all those components had to be built off-site I know good framing crews who could knock this house out pretty quick and not have to go through the trouble of building hundreds of custom size components, you know how many cuts are in just one of those blocks, each one of those blocks has about 9 pieces that have to be cut and assembled then transported to the site and the put in the proper place, so everything needs to be cataloged. My guess this house is a hell of a lot more work. It is still cool but not practical
It looks like oriented strand board (OSB), not particle board, but I don’t know about how that internal foam responds to moisture. Also, it’s hard to see how they’re fastening the blocks to the foundation and to each other. The full sheets of OSB on the outside will make it a lot stronger, but some places look like they could use both glue and screws. ;-)
@@tedsmusic5556 I was going to say the same thing. This is NOT particle board, like MDF. Actually, they already these types of wood products in homes. Once a home is framed, it can be used for the roof and the walls. Then, any membranes or extra moisture barrier layers will be added before putting roofing shingles, solar panels, vinyl siding, stucco, or a stone/brick facade. Considering that homes have to be compliant with thousands of building codes and permit processes, the idea that this home was built of a product that hadn't already been duly scrutinized by an army of red tape wielding officials, is actually pretty ridiculous to even propose.
I'm guessing they forgot to look at the price of particleboard or plywood lately! Average for just 1 sheet of 1/2x4x8 is $40 upwards! I think I'll buy a trailer!
I agree about water damage. The house is incredibly strong as built (it really does still use a lot of trees) but any prolonged water damage will change that.
This is an awesome system. I might make the pieces bigger but the idea is extremely cool and the applications are endless. Nice sound proofing as well. Extremely cool!
@@elessarstrider5210 even if they did, that's still time that has to be taken into account. And if they automate the blocks, there's additional machinery that would then need to be taken into account. Point is, I work on a construction crew, we could frame a 1600sq ft single level house with 5 men on sight in about 3 days. The longest part of building a house is finishing. And from what I see, drywall and finishing will still have to be done here. And not to mention the plumbing and electrical, as so many on this thread already have.
@@kittyadams3061 read the title. It says "Less Inexpensive" or at least it did when I commented this. Which is a double negative meaning more expensive. Not sure what comment you're referring to. But I was talking about the title.
@@jamesordwayultralightpilot You are correct about it being a double negative. "Less inexpensive" would only be a correct statement if two "inexpensive" options were being compared. Standing alone, it is a double negative and grammatically incorrect.
Covid hit and they refused the vaccine so the apartment complex made them move out and since it was all of a sudden they decided to built a less expensive home and get in with their lives
Yes various ways. You can burn holes in the foam and embed conduit. And you can fir out the walls with spacers (That's what they do here I think) so the plaster board screws on with space behind.
Definitely reminds me of Lego. A wooden house, it’s a brilliant concept IKEA should take up. Although I wouldn’t fancy using one of their assembly leaflets!
@Peter Whitlock do you know for a fact that styrofoam? For all you know it could be a biomaterial that's flame resistant. There are a lot of incentives for companies to go green these days so most are.
So after all the work to engineer a perfectly fit together house, they resort to a chain saw to make the finish cuts on truss members.........irony....

@Blunt Realist - Because before it was “man hours” and cost of “materials” now it’s because of “speed” and using “less costly materials”?

Profits are more important than morals.
@Blunt Realist who the hell takes a year to put up a house? this process is only made to be quicker than stick framing, which im not sure it is. it just looks simple to the average person
@BD Uh, no. Amish buildings are built to last 100-200 years. ElectricalAustin is exaggerating the time a tiny bit - they do barns in a day, houses are about a week or two. Still impressive.
Did you notice that the only thing that keeps this together is styrofoam? Nothing else keeps it together other than 2 inches of foam plastic. This is insane.
Okay, great video BUT did I miss something, what is the name of the lego system to build the walls. I have a tiny home and looking for a similar way to place skirting underneath the home. However, I did not see the brand name of the lego block system. Thanks.
I think it is "less inexpensive". That is very labour and materials intensive. That being said I'm comparing it the stick buildings we build in North America, brick buildings are a lot more labour intensive.
I own a house built in circa mid 70's; built using old-school timber, brick and mortar. Roof and walls lined with 3/4" plywood, oak floors and wood trim. One section of home was remodeled years back; contractor used OSB (oriented strand board) for walls and roof. After ten years, all OSB (outdoor rated) has become saggy and brittle, some sections on roof can be removed by hand. Older 70's construction endures with no attributable degradation after 47 years in North-Eastern US climate. Anything manufactured or built using OSB is junk; OSB and moisture result in several tons of sagging rotting nightmare. Do not use OSB or any other supposed modern building product; they are all designed to cut cost at expense of quality and endurance.

This is what houses would look like if Ikea sold the entire home.
😂that was funny

The ikea house would wobble
So like Sears use to do. I have an old catalog and in the back are houses for a few thousand dollars. All material shipped to your property just pick one.

If it is expensive, at least it's modular. That is what I saw in this concept or product, others will expand on it, still a good idea for quick, relatively simple building for anyone
It was inexpensive until lego sued for copyright infringement.
The guy who created this must've really loved Legos as a kid
Congratulations! You too can have your very own Minecraft house, for just 400% more than stick-framing.
yeah, I'm trying to figure out how this is more affordable with all the wood boxes and then it needs to be furred out with additional sticks
The minecraft crack was hilarious!
Well they did say it was 'less inexpensive'.
not minecraft... this is literally Legos
Lego house. Great idea.
I have three questions about plumbing and wiring.
How? When? Where?
Could you just have some blocks without insulation blocks or partially hollow ones?
That was my thought watching this.
Don't we see them starting frames inside the house on the walls themselves? I thought that was what I was seeing, which means the waste of materials goes even higher.
It all goes through the wireless router.
Yeah, why wouldn't they wire and plumb as they were going?
If I'm having my home built, getting it done fast is really low in priority. I don't want it done fast, I want it done right and for it to last.
Just say you have money and go.
Yes. So the only option ist laying bricks or building a concrete house to do it "right"? I've seen how the standard house in the US is build. Redicilous. And in Portugal and Greece? A nightmare. Without constant work on them, they decay in no time.
GERntleMAN lol. There is no “Standard house” in the US. The US has many different regions. Some are prone to Earthquakes, some are prone to hurricanes, some are phone to frost heave, some are prone to fires, etc. There is no “One size fits all” in the US. My house had been doing fine for over 80 years, works just fine.
@@Hizenbird Seems like the meaning of standard is a little different in English. Maybe average would be more precise. Nontheless I am talking about building quality.
@@GERntleMAN no such thing as a standard house here in the US. Stability and proper construction depends on the year it was built. 1930s-1950s houses are usually better than 1970s-1980s houses. But there are some neighborhoods that have the same looking houses
Am I missing something or does this house have an insane amount of thermal bridging? Maybe this would be viable if you put some 2”+ polyiso zip on the outside like a house wrap?
Imagine getting your house repossessed block by block.
"Less inexpensive". So, it costs more? I mean, isn't that a double negative?

No electrical. No plumbing. Can't just add that at the end. Weird.
@@herbb8547 Looks like the internal walls will be plaster boarded on top of battens leaving a gap for wiring etc.
@@KingWhiskers1 But what about the plumbing and duct work? That takes up a lot of space. Do they drill massive holes all over the place? In a normal house construction there are detailed plans as to where to run electrical, hot and cold water, plumbing and duct work. Where are they going to put the ducts? Those take a lot of space. Looks like nothing but a gimmick to me. I would never even consider building a house in such a manner. And in what location would building codes even allow it.
Bloody marvelous. Gotta love it, a house built LEGO style. What I want to know, is what these grey cubes are? Is that some kind of foam, is it plastic? This is definitely a lot more sturdy than common framing construction and I bet it's a lot more energy efficient too
indeed 'why dont' lego make houses?
I wouldn't assume it's any stronger than 2 x 4s or 2 X 6s (or 2 x 8s if your in Sweden); these blocks can come apart almost as easily as they went together, while studs excel at tensile strength. But, I assume the finished building would have drywall covering the interior and brick, stucco, or some other siding, with maybe some strapping for reinforcement, on the outside. I'm sure it meets whatever local codes apply to any other type of construction.
" Faster And 'Less Expensive' Construction Solutions" Less inexpensive means more expensive.
Lol ..had to read it twice. Well said.
Maybe it is, less inexpensive
Speech 100
I was gonna say that lol.
I also fail to see how this uses less resources. You still have to hang studs and how do they do plumbing and electrical? Wouldn't it be cheaper and easier to manufacture the full walls and ship them in?
You beat me to it! Lol

What I was thinking... Didn't see a single wire, pipe or duct run... and I don't know that I'd want to put a package unit on that roof.
I'm guessing that's what the strapping on the inside is for, otherwise you'd just attach drywall to the osb itself.
I will say that a good framing crew can frame a house in half the time it took this one to built. I’d love to know the price per square ft to build this.
This was incomplete. You need to show the finishing parts and give more info. With finish product
That would take 2 years. Thus concept is a fucking joke. They will be done about Oct 2022!
And that's why I gave it a thumbs down!!!
That's my issue!!! I went through the whole video and don't get to see the end product!!!! 😖
Was wondering how they did the insulation as it looked like the block spaces were empty.
@@sewpungyow5154 The exterior wall spaces had gray foam blocks inside the wooden frames. The ceiling trusses were empty when they put up, but the workers added insulation blocks to selected spaces as they were laying dow plywood for the second floor.
If you look at what they were doing for the interior, they put up 2x4 studs against the inside of the block walls. Presumably they wood put electrical and plumbing in those spaces just like any other house.
The use of full size blocks for interior walls is the part I find to be the most silly. That is a lot of interior space to sacrifice for each wall since the blocks are about twice or thrice as thick as a standard residential wall.
You made us sit and watch 17 minutes of this and didn't explain anything or even show the end result!? SMH
Thanks for the comment I won't stay till the end 😄
And they called it 'less inexpensive!' Still looks cool though, like SIPS and Lego had a kid.
I bet it cost more ! Not less !
Yeah, same here! And with all those ads too...
Foreigners. Probably don't speak English.
The framing and sheathing always goes up fast. In building a house, it is the plumbing, electrical, and mostly, the PERMIT PROCESS.
Plumbing 2 days
Electrical 2 days
Permits and inspection that’s the problem
Scam process*
How are you supposed to do the electrical and plumbing in this place anyhow?? Normally should be done before insulation

Henry Qi I think the 2x4’s furring strips on the inside of the house may be for the electrical and possibly small waterlines but for the main stack not sure how they handle that
This would work great for exterior walls you would probably want to use normal stick frame construction for interior walls. So you have something run plumbing and electrical and so on

When there's one block left and you don't know where it was supposed to go.
"spare parts!"
just because it goes up fast does not mean it is faster, all those components had to be built off-site I know good framing crews who could knock this house out pretty quick and not have to go through the trouble of building hundreds of custom size components, you know how many cuts are in just one of those blocks, each one of those blocks has about 9 pieces that have to be cut and assembled then transported to the site and the put in the proper place, so everything needs to be cataloged. My guess this house is a hell of a lot more work. It is still cool but not practical

@Hello Webby how are you doing?
"Less inexpensive"? Meaning.......expensive? And, it's particle board. Meaning you better make zero mistakes keeping moisture out.
Total crap
It looks like oriented strand board (OSB), not particle board, but I don’t know about how that internal foam responds to moisture. Also, it’s hard to see how they’re fastening the blocks to the foundation and to each other. The full sheets of OSB on the outside will make it a lot stronger, but some places look like they could use both glue and screws. ;-)
@@tedsmusic5556 I was going to say the same thing. This is NOT particle board, like MDF.
Actually, they already these types of wood products in homes. Once a home is framed, it can be used for the roof and the walls. Then, any membranes or extra moisture barrier layers will be added before putting roofing shingles, solar panels, vinyl siding, stucco, or a stone/brick facade.
Considering that homes have to be compliant with thousands of building codes and permit processes, the idea that this home was built of a product that hadn't already been duly scrutinized by an army of red tape wielding officials, is actually pretty ridiculous to even propose.
I'm guessing they forgot to look at the price of particleboard or plywood lately! Average for just 1 sheet of 1/2x4x8 is $40 upwards! I think I'll buy a trailer!
I agree about water damage. The house is incredibly strong as built (it really does still use a lot of trees) but any prolonged water damage will change that.
This is an awesome system. I might make the pieces bigger but the idea is extremely cool and the applications are endless. Nice sound proofing as well. Extremely cool!
Prefabricated walls is already a thing, these guys just made a worse product.

When does the plumbing, electricity etc get installed and where ?
Thats whatbi was thinking
When they were doing the first floor they did what looked like 2×4 furring strips.
Right! And what about the time it took to build those blocks off sight. Faster my ass.
@@elessarstrider5210 even if they did, that's still time that has to be taken into account. And if they automate the blocks, there's additional machinery that would then need to be taken into account. Point is, I work on a construction crew, we could frame a 1600sq ft single level house with 5 men on sight in about 3 days. The longest part of building a house is finishing. And from what I see, drywall and finishing will still have to be done here. And not to mention the plumbing and electrical, as so many on this thread already have.
My thoughts exactly. Seems like plumbing and electrical would be a nightmare to route through all of that.

I own a house built in circa mid 70's; built using old-school timber, brick and mortar. Roof and walls lined with 3/4" plywood, oak floors and wood trim. One section of home was remodeled years back; contractor used OSB (oriented strand board) for walls and roof. After ten years, all OSB (outdoor rated) has become saggy and brittle, some sections on roof can be removed by hand. Older 70's construction endures with no attributable degradation after 47 years in North-Eastern US climate.
Anything manufactured or built using OSB is junk; OSB and moisture result in several tons of sagging rotting nightmare. Do not use OSB or any other supposed modern building product; they are all designed to cut cost at expense of quality and endurance.
