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.

@@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.
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.

It's so typical of today's "journalism" half complete articles, lots of flickering, rapid camera shots ( the meth'd out cameramen effect) and zero useful content. Throw in annoying meaningless background music to finish the crap off.
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?
*Theory: If you keep expensive and inexpensive as end members of a line, then a reasonable price shall fall in the middle, less expensive somewhere in the one half towards the expensive end, and hense the less inexpensive falls in the first half towards inexpensive end.

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.
This is not actually too fast but a bit fast it’s nice and charming as well, since we are all watching this is there anyone here with great ideas for bigger income
It has not been quit long I started trading with him tho I started with a capital of $2000 which I was given access to monitor from my slot I appreciate that so much
As some one living in the northern europe, it's shocking how they build homes in the U.S.A. I would not put my dog in one of those stack of sticks, let alone my family.
1st World problems = people arguing about Lego vs Legos. Real World problems = hunger, homelessness, corrupt governments, rampant crime, etc. How about knocking off the arguing, and working together to help people come together as One, to solve the problems? Seems better to focus on people vs plastic toys, hmmm?
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.
This is a great idea. Anybody that played with leggo's during childhood can now build their own house. However all joints would allow heat loss in the winter and heat infiltration in the summer. The wood joints should be caulked and the foam should have spray foam to seal it properly.
@@domuRyder619 same!! I am a bricklayer hear in england i always prefer brick and block houses, timber framed houses hear are terrible they crack and are like living in a cardboard box lol,, people think cheap is better but its surely is not!!! Dont get me wrong these houses are well structured and respect to the man who designed it but jesus thats some wood, poor trees 🙄
@@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.
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
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
Squeaking is caused by wood rubbing together. Glue, screws and nails are used to hold things solidly together without that yes there is a lot of potential for squeaks.
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!
@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.
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?
These innovative construction solutions, developers and builders can accelerate the construction of wooden houses, making housing more accessible, affordable, and sustainable for communities around the world.
@@akguy5452 see that’s what i was thinking don’t get me wrong we can agree it’s a genius idea but that’s all frame work. Like we agree on it’s going to be mighty difficult to install plumbing and electrical. WHAT IF THEY BUILT ELECTRICAL AND PLUMBING INTO EACH BLOCK THEN ASSEMBLED IT?! good idea maybe. Work smarter not harder.
It could be something along the lines of a layered motherboard to save space like Tesla’s new battery idea and then shape it to fit the pipe of choice in each block for the kitchen bathroom and so on
@@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.
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?
The company is called Gablock. The wood panels are reinforced with resin, and the inner blocks are Styrofoam with graphite. Its a kit house that comes with everything but the roof. You buy the floor style you like and they send everything for it with IKEA like instructions.
I would compare construction against solid concrete with styrofoam panel insulation on exterior. Use thermal mass of the concrete inside of a styrofoam shell to minimize temperature change including have geothermal pipes buried in the structure. Electrical and communications runways or channels can be hidden behind removable access panels. Spray coat interior concrete like you would sheetrock for texture and paint. Sure... hanging a picture or something would need a rotary hammer drill but guaranteed once hung in place and anchored properly... you could hang a Truck on the wall if you want. Lol. Also... building this way is major fireproofing of the structure unless you light the exterior styrofoam shell on fire. But even that could be sided with Hardiplank to making it fireproof also. U.S. is built like stick of wood ready to be lit on fire. Think of what I just explained and expand on it for a LIFETIME property with minimal maintenance which is Termite, Fire and Tornado proof.
it's a stupid system, imagine how are you going to add the electrical system wiring, sanitary system - pipes, etc, water insulation, fire proof , gas system for heating, etc.....i think it is too fragile for a long term solution...and it depends on the geog. area where you live.
The easiest and cheapest way to build a house is framed construction. If you want to make it even cheaper there's been enthusiasts that build them with extruded pps slabs set in the frame/inside the frame. Since crazy people build frameless buildings with Epps slabs, with mesh+concrete spread on them for reinforcement. Now I could consider using frame+Epps for a small tool shed at most, much less a house, and neither does this method down in this video look attractive - thick walls, relatively soft materials, thermal bridging, no foam/glue/fasteners, the list goes on. It's all fun and attractive until you start thinning.
Well, the plumbing comes up out of the foundation, but, for wiring, this video shows them building a hollow wall on the interior side of the insulating wall.
@@TheAlmightyGod1 It can it's just a lot more irritating and time consuming to chop up the lego blocks and add in some kind of raceway or conduit for the wiring than to just tacking it to the studs before you do drywall. Also, is this build really all that much faster? Seems to be more wasteful of material too.
@@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.
Yeah, it's one of those big, flat base-plates (that's where they get you; gods those things are outrageous), like 48 pips on a side. Took two flatbed trucks driving (carefully) side-by-side close on 65 miles. They actually drove farther than would have otherwise been necessary to take I-17, since it was the only stretch long enough without any overpasses. Watching them exit was... educational.
this makes a ton of sense - the foam cubes shoule be made from something non flamable/toxic as well as the gule for the chip board and treat with non toxic fire retardents.
@ObamaReally Suucks Probably because 75% of the English speaking world speak English-English and American English is an oxymoron but probably so are you!

Pretty sure that's what the furring is for. Horizontal runs in the ceiling, then vertical _between_ the structural wall and the sheetrock. Just like block or concrete structures, except you don't need special fasteners.

"Less expensive" is right. Seems like a very inefficient use of materials. All those "blocks" took time to measure, cut and shape. I also don't see how they're supposed to add plumbing and wiring to this house.
@@victoriataylor5584 No, it's using way more material than necessary. I've worked in new home construction. This is highly inefficient and wasteful in several ways. Even for on site construction, there's a faster and more efficient way to build homes: pre-fabrication. This here in the video is more of a gimmick and meant more for people with zero construction knowledge or talents, meant to be done by the most novice of individuals, with a small crew. That's its only advantage. I really wish I had the time to explain just how wasteful, inefficient, and silly this concept is, but I don't. I'm by no means a construction expert, but I have over 20 years of experience.
@@Eidolon1andOnly hold on, I understand what you mean but to build even this simple and inefficient home would still require experienced workers. If you make even one mistake or miss one thing you could end up with a problem. And a problem you can’t fix easily once you finish building the house. Imagine having to tear down the whole house to fix one wall with mold because the builders didn’t know what they were doing.

Was gonna say that too! Just surface mount everything! Not enough room in 10” thick walls!
Its wireless , dah!
Electrical conduit and plumbing is going to be all surface mounted.
Its the new trend.
I tried it on one of my jobs.
I’m still in hiding.

I quickly thought of lego blocks too. Strong in downward compression but looks weak in tension. It would have a very high R rating, and be inexpensive to heat/cool I'd think. But, I'd be worried about it's ability to withstand high winds, or ground movement.

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.
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.
My house was built in 1909 with oak 2x4s for framing and joists. I can put a square in any corner, still as straight and true as the day it was built.
Press board = toxic garbage

it takes too long to build
They forgot one block, so had to tear the whole thing down! Lol.
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?
Imagine getting your house repossessed block by block.

"Less inexpensive" means "more expensive".
My thoughts exactly!
Thanks
*Theory:
If you keep expensive and inexpensive as end members of a line, then a reasonable price shall fall in the middle, less expensive somewhere in the one half towards the expensive end, and hense the less inexpensive falls in the first half towards inexpensive end.
But very inexpensive would be a better word as it shows a tendency towards the inexpensive end, while less inexpensive has a tendency to go in the direction of the inexpensive side

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.
Ikea do sell houses in Sweden. Together with Skanska. And yeah they are simple prefabricated. Never been i side one though.
This is a great idea. Anybody that played with leggo's during childhood can now build their own house. However all joints would allow heat loss in the winter and heat infiltration in the summer. The wood joints should be caulked and the foam should have spray foam to seal it properly.

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.

When does the plumbing, electricity etc get installed and where ?

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.
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?
Having the camera crew there when they were done was probably too less inexpensive

@@richardbelliveau8881 Read the title of the video.
Very much not un-good comment
Came to the comments looking for the double negative comment.
The company is called Gablock. The wood panels are reinforced with resin, and the inner blocks are Styrofoam with graphite. Its a kit house that comes with everything but the roof. You buy the floor style you like and they send everything for it with IKEA like instructions.
Looks stronger than regular houses...
@Locker vom Hocker people don't usually tear down homes so the recycling is not needed.
I would compare construction against solid concrete with styrofoam panel insulation on exterior. Use thermal mass of the concrete inside of a styrofoam shell to minimize temperature change including have geothermal pipes buried in the structure. Electrical and communications runways or channels can be hidden behind removable access panels. Spray coat interior concrete like you would sheetrock for texture and paint. Sure... hanging a picture or something would need a rotary hammer drill but guaranteed once hung in place and anchored properly... you could hang a Truck on the wall if you want. Lol. Also... building this way is major fireproofing of the structure unless you light the exterior styrofoam shell on fire. But even that could be sided with Hardiplank to making it fireproof also. U.S. is built like stick of wood ready to be lit on fire. Think of what I just explained and expand on it for a LIFETIME property with minimal maintenance which is Termite, Fire and Tornado proof.
@Locker vom Hocker I think you know not what you talk about.
Considering most people struggle to put an IKEA unit together imagine the nightmare a whole house would be !
The framing and sheathing always goes up fast. In building a house, it is the plumbing, electrical, and mostly, the PERMIT PROCESS.

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
@@tarnation1010 Good question, maybe conduit outside the walls?
right this whole vid is just advertising and misleading... bs...
An easy, successful and fast way to build houses . It’s amazing
it's a stupid system, imagine how are you going to add the electrical system wiring, sanitary system - pipes, etc, water insulation, fire proof , gas system for heating, etc.....i think it is too fragile for a long term solution...and it depends on the geog. area where you live.
The easiest and cheapest way to build a house is framed construction. If you want to make it even cheaper there's been enthusiasts that build them with extruded pps slabs set in the frame/inside the frame. Since crazy people build frameless buildings with Epps slabs, with mesh+concrete spread on them for reinforcement. Now I could consider using frame+Epps for a small tool shed at most, much less a house, and neither does this method down in this video look attractive - thick walls, relatively soft materials, thermal bridging, no foam/glue/fasteners, the list goes on. It's all fun and attractive until you start thinning.
Looks like a good idea as long as you don’t need it wired or plumbed
Well, the plumbing comes up out of the foundation, but, for wiring, this video shows them building a hollow wall on the interior side of the insulating wall.
Why can't it have plumbing or wiring? Lol😂
@@TheAlmightyGod1 It can it's just a lot more irritating and time consuming to chop up the lego blocks and add in some kind of raceway or conduit for the wiring than to just tacking it to the studs before you do drywall. Also, is this build really all that much faster? Seems to be more wasteful of material too.
@@Jeebus-un6zz Oh I thought drywall still needed put up.

So, if you make a mistake do you need a giant one of those Lego puller tools ?
😂😂
🤣🤣🤣
I love the simplicity in humankind when mind's come together and create magic before your eyes.
"Less expensive" is right. Seems like a very inefficient use of materials. All those "blocks" took time to measure, cut and shape. I also don't see how they're supposed to add plumbing and wiring to this house.
You have to be more creative. Think outside the box. You'll see how they'll do it, be patient.
No, it's pretty much the same materials you WOULD use to build a house.
Just done differently.
@@victoriataylor5584 No, it's using way more material than necessary. I've worked in new home construction. This is highly inefficient and wasteful in several ways. Even for on site construction, there's a faster and more efficient way to build homes: pre-fabrication. This here in the video is more of a gimmick and meant more for people with zero construction knowledge or talents, meant to be done by the most novice of individuals, with a small crew. That's its only advantage. I really wish I had the time to explain just how wasteful, inefficient, and silly this concept is, but I don't. I'm by no means a construction expert, but I have over 20 years of experience.
@@Eidolon1andOnly hold on, I understand what you mean but to build even this simple and inefficient home would still require experienced workers. If you make even one mistake or miss one thing you could end up with a problem. And a problem you can’t fix easily once you finish building the house. Imagine having to tear down the whole house to fix one wall with mold because the builders didn’t know what they were doing.
"fastest" these people have obviously never seen 50 amish dudes build a house in 1 day
@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.

@BD - you don't know Amish people, huh?
Might not be square but it'll be up! Least that's how they build them round here.
All with no power tools or metal screws or nails
Anyone who's ever built a house loves watching half the material they paid for get thrown in the dumpster as scrap. Lol.
Sheetrocking and laying the decking down always has a good amount of cut materials getting trashed.
Not in this house , everything is cut and prefab exactly how the need it
That is why the material is being recycled from ;)
