Good idea but I have check every single link and is not possible to see the final results. I am very interested on it. Could you please send the full video and how it work with Cities permites and zoning. Thanks
id have to wonder if this is strong enough to stand up to North American risk loads like heavy wet snow on the roof which is common in New England, or the high winds that can come with some of our normal thunderstorms let alone the hurricane seasons of the Southeast. Or a California earthquake. Didnt mention tornadoes because no home building method survives totally unharmed when a tornado has your number.
Been 4 or so years, and cannot really find a video of the houses being done from start to finish completely with these. 3D renders are not real. Only seen half built houses, sounds to good to be true. Id have to question how sturdy and rigid these are. So I completely agree. Also since its made with OSB and not solid pieces of wood for structure, im sure their has to be a weight limit and room size limit, no way that can keep a 40 x 32 room from collapsing nevermind a master bathroom with a full jacuzzi tub full of water/shower. You're putting cross braces into OSB board and not real world..... Ya they put wood trusses up the sides for drywall and outside boarding but that wont do much at all , what about the expansion and contraction of the wood during wet and dry seasons. I feel like this has not been tested enough. No info on any of this. I feel its a scam.
Nothing survives a tornado? steel concrete framing, triple pane windows, steel rafters and roof tiling with concrete plus fiber concrete gutters. The "only" danger is stuff the nado throws at your house which is usually not much (do need to protect your windows though - triple pane does hold very well on 160+ mph winds
Sure I grew up with Lego's as a kid and I've watched and enjoyed all the lego games and movies. Even to this day those movies and games I play with my daughter now; minecraft is always fun to play with her. However I just can't get past the idea of not having any support joist, beams or clamps install where they would be normally needed to reinforce the strength of the structure being built; hell where are the BOLTS and NAILS! Granted I'm by no means a carpentry pro or nothing like that but dang, one strong tornado, or hurricane Micheal blow through and that thing I feel is done. Look at what happens to the building we currently build in extreme weather conditions. However, I digress a little because I still think this is a cool concept if it works and if anything, I'd probably get a project like this going for something small like build a music studio separate from my house with this system, or a separated garage, storage, or mother-in-law suite or something to that effect. Definitely one story too.
@@illusionarygull3844 😮 Do you still have a source for this? Would this mean a 30*60cm standrad block is like 54$😢 Or did you mean sq foot of thonhouse area under blocks?
Ok I stand correct to my last comment. I had to go dive into this further. THEY DO INSTALL BOLTS AND SCREWS INTO THEM! 🤣😂. Also certain sections from what I've seen has a unique way of bracing together for strengthening and sturdiness. Still looking for more information on these systems. I'm just so curious because being from the US, I'm sorry things are crazy here and the weather patterns are unpredictable more-so here than anywhere else I've been in my life.
@@Eastside313JeffersonAve Yeah it wasn't. But I did watch another video and those guys in that video built an extented hollow area that created a gap between the blocks and where the interior wall is. I forget the measurements they mentioned but they said thats the area where the plumbing and wires would go and they showed them cutting out sections for it, sealing them and buttoning up everything as you would normally right before painting. I'll have to find that video I watched and link it here in the thread.
Houses outside of the US aren't made from cardboard and typically have thick walls anyway for insulation and sound dampening, so this isn't much thicker than those.
i love this idea so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! this is perfect for custom home builders
So it looks like the only structural connections are in the interlocking foam blocks - thus foam is the only part of the structure taking on shear loads? That's not going to work in hurricanes.
I can't find a link to a US based sales contact. I don't know from their own web site if they sell in the US yet. Depending upon cost, I would be all over this!
Gablok was made specifically for the British, scottish and Romanian market where there's no hurricanes/tornados and barely any flooding. So I don't think they designed it with that in mind
I think you are missing the very simple fact that it keeps us breathing clean air! I think it’s freaking genius. Have you seen the way the Japanese build houses? Somebody play the video
There is literally no advantage compared to just building a timberframe, insulate it and cover it up with OSB. It's the same thing, easier, cheaper and less excess material used.
What does the plumbing (wet wall) and electrical setups look like? While this is an interesting idea, the video doesn't show ANY of the more complicated aspects to building construction. Also, this seems to only be for the framing and insulation but not the fascia and finishings.
Do the research Dig a bit and you'll see R values No thermal bridging A system already in place for electrical and plumbing etc A few people 7 days to erect a 2000 sqft 2 level house You don't need an architect They do it If your handy the services can be diy with sign-off etc They aren't here and as it is they can't meet demand going full bore. Someone needs to do it here Probably they won't Hardly anyone but a relatively small group is capable. 😊
What this clickbait video doesn't tell you: these are made by a Belgian company, Gablok; and they have absolutely TERRIBLE insulating properties. The R-value is .035. For reference, the R-value of a 1" sheet of rigid foam insulation is ~1.2 (higher is better). Modern best practices for energy-efficient buildings are walls with an R-value of 40 or higher. And that's not even getting into all the complications with electrical and plumbing.
You can see the wooden standoffs that they install on the inside. I imagine the drywall gets nailed to those and the plumbing and electrical are between the drywall and the blocks.
Already can tell plumbing and electrical is going to be a huge overpriced problem for something like this. Thats why there are no videos of the finished results and or any proof of homeowners 😂😂😂

More info ➡ odditymall.co/bbxii
So where does the wiring and plumbing go?
Why hasn't nobody thought of this before? Even when legos existed?
Because people and practicality are boring.
Still exist.
Cost more
That's a double negative.
🔥
These look like they would have a higher R value than the manufactured foam walls they currently produce for high efficiency
Looks great but some important questions I dont see answered. Plumbing and electrical?
Good idea but I have check every single link and is not possible to see the final results. I am very interested on it. Could you please send the full video and how it work with Cities permites and zoning. Thanks
They never make it that fast before a gust of wind blows the whole thing over. And if course you can't have any running water or electricity.

If they can handle European weather Ithink it can handle the USA
@@SkumleBonesnot to mention water damage. Youd have a tough time replacing those obs “blocks” it seems
Wow 👏that is so cool! I'd like to build a tiny house in my parents back yard for guests or to use as a hobby space instead of a shed
You mean, your own house?
Honest for a tiny house is more better then a big house. That a good idea
Why would the wood stay attached to the styrene? What holds the wooden pieces together?
So does that mean all wiring or plumbing is to be exposed??need more video of the finishing parts of this build
Do you still need to insulate this further ? Looks like thick ass walls are very insulated already
@bhante1345 the thickness of the walls and added framing would make for crazy thick walls and wacky floor plan.

Come to America, please!!!
I cannot say this is better than framing and nailing in joists
How do you install the toilets and kitchens
Cool idea for a shed
Excellent and friendly environment
What is the cost difference between building one of these and a stick built home?
27$ each square foot for the blocks
@@illusionarygull3844
😮
Do you still have a source for this?
Would this mean a 30*60cm standrad block is like 54$😢
Or did you mean sq foot of thonhouse area under blocks?
Thanks for your contribution and innovation
I would like to know the cost?
How much it would be to build the whole house
If we use yard green waste wood chipper turn into this then reduce cost of housing construction alot
Is this product available in the United States?

Only problem with this is because it's so thick the house you build would have to be an extra 1,000 sq ft larger than if you built it normally.
Not a problem young man
@@adnergy what? Was there an answer or question there?
The insulating qualities would be awesome
@@SS-L.O.T.O. Obviously you need an extra 1000 sq ft. Thats a problem if you have a small parcel of land.

i love this idea so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! this is perfect for custom home builders
i want to try it. It's like lego 😍
this is so neat
I mean, it's cool and all, but has it been tested? Can we have info on the company that did this?
Gablok a Belgian company
How havey is the block
So it looks like the only structural connections are in the interlocking foam blocks - thus foam is the only part of the structure taking on shear loads?
That's not going to work in hurricanes.
Some real life Minecraft 😂 man we really live in a simulation lol
Where can you get these from?
Excellent
Green yard waste compress into lego block and coat with clay or cilicon or caulking or plastic
im still confused where all the electrical & plumbing goes?
Can I get the details of the company that makes these blocks
But when the concert's over, all THE WALLs tumble!
How do you do the electrical or plumbing?
They have studs inside the blocks. Run it through that and the drywall
@@thatkidmingming7390 true
So you're tied to certain points? F all that.
@@alexanderjauregui9744 what does that mean is it bad?
the worst thing is when down part broken and you need to remove almost the whole house to fix it with that thicknes
Why?
Just use wood glue, epoxy, PU foam and OSB
I can't find a link to a US based sales contact. I don't know from their own web site if they sell in the US yet. Depending upon cost, I would be all over this!
I was very clearly stated in the video that this is a Belgian product.
I want to know the name of the organization and talk to it please, I need it
How would they stand up to a cat 4 hurricane...and the flooding aftermath?
Gablok was made specifically for the British, scottish and Romanian market where there's no hurricanes/tornados and barely any flooding. So I don't think they designed it with that in mind
Is this tornado and earthquake proof?
where is the rest?
Where can I get them from?
That reminds me of kids’ Minecraft game. Looks sturdy & insulated though. Nice!
But how to get these giant legos
How would you run water ad electrics, you would need in side stud walls you hide it all
It literally said you would have to still do some technical work
I would assume you would have to run some interior walls still just like log homes.... At least chase walls and bulkheads
@@superhero6297so what’s the advantage with these? It’s neat but not very practical

Are those insulated

Dig a bit and you'll see R values
No thermal bridging

Probably they won't

Friend:"hey bro what is you house made of
Me:"... Lego"
Plumbing? Elecrtrical?
It literally said you would still have to do the technical work
Yes it says you have to still do technical work but my question would be can you put holes through it to do so or will it damage the blocks
you put a installation layer on the inside of the walls with the space for electrical boxes, wires and tubes.
They are very thick do.

HVAV, plumbing, electrical,…?
Avelable in india?
What company does this ? And what is the cost of this ?
It's about 250€/m²in Belgium. It"s a Belgium company. But with the increase of wood price maybe the price is much more higher
Just plug and play guyezzzz 👍🥳🎉
Funny how they don’t show the finish product
when hurricanes come, just rebuild it
probably the motto of the company-
Gablok was made specifically for the Romanian and British market...no hurricanes there
Styrofoam is not recyclable, and they say natural glue in the chip board but don't say what natural glue they use.
