RENCO's Lego-stacking system is creating a new way to build

The equivalent of another New York City will need to be built every month over the next four decades to accommodate global massive urban expansion. This rapid growth comes at a cost: the built environment is responsible for about a quarter of greenhouse gas emissions, contributing to global warming and climate change.
‌Miami-based RENCO USA has a new building material that can start to bend that trajectory. “They say the greenest building you can build is the one you don’t have to build,” said managing director Patrick Murphy in our latest On Site video series. “I think there's an opportunity for the world to do better with the way we build.”
‌The construction company has created a modular system made up entirely of recycled materials that are not only better for the environment but are also billed as being stronger, easier, and faster to build than traditional concrete.

Great innovation removing rebar and upcycling waste products.

Fantastic innovation, I am hopeful this can be adopted rapidly.

What are the relative costs differences between the 4 construction matterial methods before labor? It's this doable for a SFH for spec builders ?

[@jasonemkay]

I wonder how the off-gassing situation is

[@thelog86]

Everything mentioned except cost effectiveness

[@thelog86]

Id imagine its much more expensive since one of its main purposes is hurricane resistance

They refuse to give pricing. I have looked all over internet.

While the blocks themself are rated for 200 years, the finishes would all still be deteriorating in the same way…so structurally sound…
