The beauty of bricks is that you can take bricks out to make openings, replace broken ones or remove to get inside the wall. This removes that ability so you may aswell just go with concrete...
You could still do it with this. The replaced brick would just be a brick face but without ever working with this system I know I could do it. Noting a diamond blade on a concrete saw couldn't manage.
No mortar ? When she was putting those hallowed out bricks the whole wall was shaking. That doesn’t look stable and it seems like you have to buy a lot of other stuff to hold the bricks up. Just why.
It turns a brick wall into a cosmetic breathable skin. The plastic parts guarantee collapse in a fire and will have a life of maybe 25 years due to ozone.
I thought the same - fine for a dwarf wall in a garden perhaps but a none-waterproof house wall held together by loose-fit plastic is probably as much use as it sounds.
The mortar does more than just holding a brick in place helps with water it helps with wind and it helps the insulation aspects of it so how do you get through that
What happens when the metal and plastic bits in the first story disintegrate? Everything disintegrates, though I have seen brick and mortar centuries old. Planned obsolescence on a brick wall? Sheesh!
I have done a lot of brick work ,..no mortar!!!! Water will go in , creating a city for all kinds of bug's 🐛 🐛 🐛 humidity bug's,. You get bug's,..you will get lots of spiders.
As settling occurs due to weather, temperature changes, moisture and ground movement, random bricks will fracture and crack... creating and causing... You decide.
Yeah, I was wondering the same. The plastic is going to become brittle over time and it looks like the design is intended to leave a small gap between the rows to add mortar. I'd give a brick wall deisgned with this maybe 15 years before it begins to lose integrity. Sure, you have minimal brick loss when you tear it down. But the cost of materials is bound to be higher in the long run than traditional brick and mortar methods. The example given is for a facade. A fake outer wall so it needs to be attached to the house. Which makes me think it isn't even intended to ever be a load bearing structure. It is pure cosmetic with limited application at best.

Why on earth would you waste time on a bricklaying technique that requires another wall to hold it up? You're not exactly saving time when a standard brick wall can hold itself, therefore you wouldn't need to build the other wall first, and also without gobbo between those bricks, insulation has gone bye bye, rainwater will get inside too, causing damp issues much sooner than if you'd just built a standard brick and mortar wall. All this talk about saving time, when we should be thinking about quality and longevity.
The brick could be decorative instead of load-supporting. My home has a 1/2 wall of brick with weeping mortar in front that is decorative. Luddites need to get out of the way for the future to start today.
@quantumleaper yes, but that's not my issue, my issue is they're talking about saved time, but the thing is you need to build a separate wall just to attach this Lego block crap to, you'd save more time and the wall would be just as strong if you just built this the old school way. Decorative or no, it sucks...
you can change to a better payed profession. this robot gives you the last push to do it. also robots need software maintanance etc. ( that is part of my work ). most money every month i get from dividend not from working.
The robot tech and the concentration of wealth required to implement it raise the question of why societies exist. Is our purpose to render ourselves obsolete? I don't think so. But for wealthy totalitarians who want to own everything, that's their utopia. And then comes the population reduction "to save the planet." You are the carbon they want to reduce.
No, this robot would be way too expensive to use on a construction site. Plus the high dust and debris from the site itself is going to get into this things joints. There is a reason why it is shown just putting in panels in a clean lab. As soon as you have to modify the size of your materials and add the dust and particles from the cuts, this thing is toast.
Look at how wobbly that brick wall was. That would not happen if mortar was used between the bricks and it would be more weather and moisture proof and provide more protection for the building behind it..
Thanks for asking! Installing the vertical rebar and horizontal wire is crucial for the structural integrity of the wall. I appreciate your interest in this process.

Waffle pods require a lot more site preparation compared to a full concrete slab and the upkeep of the land around the house needs to be constantly maintained to stop water getting under the waffle pods. Also, not enough weight is in the slab when a big storm comes through to keep you house planted to the ground and so the house gets lifted, maybe not so much that you notice it in real time but you'll notice it when you find cracks in your walls.

Then as before, the Inspector is assigned jobs on a first come first served basis...the taxi rank protocol and there's zero tolerance for job refusal or job swapping. Refusal or job swapping = instant, mandatory dismissal and out of the office in 10 minutes or less or the Police are called to arrest you for trespass. The dismissed Inspector can plead their case at the Fair Work Ombudsman for unfair dismissal if they have a genuine and compelling reason for the job refusal or job swapping. That approach will clean up the industry beautifully.
@@paulbriggs3072 No, microplastics do not sit on the ground and get quickly covered by soil and sit there harmlessly. Microplastics are everywhere. In your food, in your water. Oh, you drink bottled water only...guess where the vast majority of that water is coming from...not out of some untouched spring high in some remote mountain but more likely the same water plant that your tap water comes from and research has shown that the filters at water plants are not always able to filter out microplastics and the same stands for any filters you have installed at home. In Australia, where I'm from. There's more stringent requirements on tap water than bottled water. So the idea that you're getting cleaner water from store bought is clearly marketing bullshit. Fucking criminal lies, actually. So you may want to consider editing your comment.

Foam between the Brick and the wood on the inside? My friend just insulted his wall with foam about 5 years ago, they forgot to sand off the plugs on the wall outside.
Are the bricks on your house there for decoration or support? I haven't seen a house that has supportive bricks since 1920, like my great uncle's house.
Wood is a great home for ants, an overhang of house Bees/Wasps just LOVE that area. I still remember when I took the trash out at my old job and there was a wasp nest next to the garage containers they had a nice fence around and that was where the wasps were located, 5 stings just to get back inside.

Seams to me like it was invented by a lazy person that was trying to make something better that ended up making things way worse and will probably end up getting someone hurt. People just need to stop making things nobody asked for or wanted. If a master mason wanted something like this they would design it themselves not someone that clearly knows nothing of structural rigidity.
So you want a place built with wobbly walls, poor insulation, and using yet more plastic? If so the buy this product. Gaps between the bricks like that are terrible ideas, not to mention the bugs that can walk in and out with ease, and I know how much some of you love spiders. Trying to cut corners and save money isn't always good in the long run. This is lazy building.
So you don't like TALL buildings that wobbly up to 3 feet like Willis Tower. Backfill it with foam to keep out the creepy crawlers. My 1949 house gets bugs all the time in the summer. At least I don't get lizards like my friend down in Florida.
@@FruityTech Where you gain time and money is on the labor end. The most time consuming aspect of masonry labor is probably in providing cement to the masons. They have to make it, move it to the work area, pit it on boards or tubs and often add a bit of water and mix it as it dries up. Tooling the joints is also time consuming. Clean up is also probably much easier.
Nice inventions but they want so much for them that only wealthy can afford them- for the rest of us it is cheaper to use older methods. Perhaps lower prices will come with adoption.
Just like Cars in the early 1900s too at least until Ford paid the workers enough to buy them. Just remember 3D printers in the 1990s were $50000+ now you get them for as low as $200.
Wait a second let me hold my breath for 20 minutes. OK this can’t be real. What’s holding it up what happens if the wind blows one day or better yet by chance it starts raining. Don’t you think the masonry industry has taken enough hits specially from the EPA.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts! It’s always great to see viewers engaging critically with the content. The masonry industry is certainly facing its challenges, and discussions like this are important.
That facade click is junk. Spray it with water and the water will go right through it between the cracks. Look at it wobble around when a new brick is added and when they were hammering the final plastic spikes in LOL what a JOKE!
Wood burns also. That's why we have firemen. Last summer my neighbor's house burned and had to rebuild the second floor. It was brick on the outside but had wood walls on the inside.
If its single brick not tied in to the other wall first big puff of wind and all fall down. Do you know the story of three little pigs and the nasty wolf who could huff and puff and blow your house down. Well a silly architect tried building a single brick wall with a timber inner wall off a school building looky the wind warnings where out and the kids where at home when the whole wall was blown down. OUR old castles and houses have stood the test of time which is better than any architect. So don't scrub what your forefathers did to save a few pennies.
You want to build a house faster, why? And why all the plastic?..oh yeah..bolt those poles in, surely no one will come along and unbolt them and steal them. Lame ideas

Then as before, the Inspector is assigned jobs on a first come first served basis...the taxi rank protocol and there's zero tolerance for job refusal or job swapping. Refusal or job swapping = instant, mandatory dismissal and out of the office in 10 minutes or less or the Police are called to arrest you for trespass.
The dismissed Inspector can plead their case at the Fair Work Ombudsman for unfair dismissal if they have a genuine and compelling reason for the job refusal or job swapping. That approach will clean up the industry beautifully.
@@paulbriggs3072 No, microplastics do not sit on the ground and get quickly covered by soil and sit there harmlessly.
Microplastics are everywhere. In your food, in your water.
Oh, you drink bottled water only...guess where the vast majority of that water is coming from...not out of some untouched spring high in some remote mountain but more likely the same water plant that your tap water comes from and research has shown that the filters at water plants are not always able to filter out microplastics and the same stands for any filters you have installed at home.
In Australia, where I'm from. There's more stringent requirements on tap water than bottled water. So the idea that you're getting cleaner water from store bought is clearly marketing bullshit. Fucking criminal lies, actually.
So you may want to consider editing your comment.
And if we get rid of oil you got no plastics anyway ! I guess we can use sand and build out of glass!
Good luck getting that column climber past the HSE😂😂
Thanks for the advice! Navigating the HSE can certainly be a challenge.
Brick wall. That wobbly thing? That ISN’T WATERPROOF. How is it fixed to the slab? Where do you find those special bricks?
Thanks for pointing out the concern! Proper fixing is crucial for the longevity of the wall.
Even been in a HIGH building that sways? Or when wobbly buildings protect you from an earthquake. BTW the Willis Tower sways up to 3 feet.
Oh yes just replace nature until there is no more!
The reason for mortar is because not all bricks are evenly made so the mortar compensates for this
can arojel based plaster be outside?
We have used it on the Space Shuttle. Aerogel insulation can be applied to the external surface of external walls, either with a render or cladding system. Google can be your friend if you use it.
Mmmmhhh, so how about having some mortar to stick the bricks together to seal out the elements????
Mortar - the unsung hero of the construction world, keeping bricks together and elements out!
I am a mason, and the brick portion must be a joke! The other items look interesting.
Thanks for pointing out the brick part, glad you found the rest interesting!
So if the "robots" are going to get all the work, what are the humans going to do? Or maybe you cannot see.

I appreciate your perspective as a bricklayer.
The same thing could be said about buggy whip makers said the same thing after the Automotive was begin made also. Luddites say it when better tech comes along.

How on earth could THIS system keep out damp, the rain ???
Maybe Facadeclick needs an umbrella and raincoat to keep out the damp and rain!

Robot carpenters lol ,. All your lumber has to be perfect ,.. please
Robot carpenters: the future of flawless woodworking!
@@FruityTech how very selective the wood will have to be? Have you ever been to a lumber yard ?
And what size homes can you build with this robot ,. Chicken coop size lol .
Transport ??
Just program the robot better, I know for a non-programmer that's something they wouldn't think of.
Won't that plastic get brittle over time?
Most likely a lot more expensive. Homeowner cost for the fancy crap will likely be more than the cost of hiring a reliable/professional contractor who will to a much better job.
That's a valid point to consider when looking at renovation options.
Prices do go down over time for new methods you realize. If you can build a house in 1/2 the time, it may not be as expensive. We a 3D-printed houses now.
I think peel and stick mortar would work better probably😂
Peel and stick mortar, the future of masonry! Thanks for the creative idea.
bugs will never find there way between those cracks...
Thanks for pointing that out! It's great when you notice those little details.
Foam between the Brick and the wood on the inside? My friend just insulted his wall with foam about 5 years ago, they forgot to sand off the plugs on the wall outside.
NO MORTAR?!?!?!!!! your a fool if you think this will have any structural integrity.
Thanks
"construction is on a permanent rise" - No, it's sadly not permanent.
No construction is permanent without Maintenance. Why do we paint the outside of our houses and bridges?
а я всё думал как американские киношники снимают что от одного чиха или пука (fart) стены разлетаются?😂
Still better than most Soviet-built buildings. I do wonder how well they build them now?
Can't beat good old sand and cement for building,I wonder who will be responsible when them wobbly walls collapse
It's always important to ensure the construction materials are of high quality to avoid any issues down the line.
Эта кирпичная кладка - дерьмо, без вариантов)
Really, everything is 'eco-friendly" 🤣
I do not wish to nail my bricks together.
Are the bricks on your house there for decoration or support? I haven't seen a house that has supportive bricks since 1920, like my great uncle's house.
Who needs nails when you have super glue, right?
Muito bom 👋👋👋👋
Thank you so much!
What could go wrong ?
Well, if everything went right, where would the fun be?
Looks like you could just push the wall over
Thanks for your observation! It's always interesting to see what viewers notice.
WE USED TO CALL IT LEGO
Thank you for reminiscing with me about the good old days of LEGO!
For sure!!!
😂😂😂😂 Yeah all right
Bugs, Bees, Wasps, Hornets, Ants, Spiders, Roaches.... The whole neighborhood will become infested from this breeding ground. Wobble...Wobble.
Sounds like a scene from a horror movie! Time to call in the bug busters.
Wood is a great home for ants, an overhang of house Bees/Wasps just LOVE that area. I still remember when I took the trash out at my old job and there was a wasp nest next to the garage containers they had a nice fence around and that was where the wasps were located, 5 stings just to get back inside.
No mortar?! I’m not a masonry expert or bricky but this screams stupid!
Who needs mortar when you can just hope for the best, right?
What's wrong with mortar?
Mortar might be feeling a bit “mixed up” these days! But seriously, it can suffer from bonding issues or cracking if not prepared correctly.
Not much, just acting all stubborn sometimes! But seriously, it can crack or not stick well if it's mixed wrong. Keep an eye on it!
What happens when water gets in the cracks.
It turns into a mini swimming pool for ants! 🐜💦
I think cote cloture was one of the better more honest & realistic options . At $17 per panel I would definitely look at this product. The other products in this vid seem a bit plastic n frail. Give me mortar ,steel, concrete n timber any day . Old school lasts n looks better.
Old school materials for a classic look - you've got a good eye for quality!
So you like to transport your work materials with a horse and wagon?

Maybe we can start a crowdfunding campaign to get that mini dump truck loader for your yard work!
Seams to me like it was invented by a lazy person that was trying to make something better that ended up making things way worse and will probably end up getting someone hurt. People just need to stop making things nobody asked for or wanted. If a master mason wanted something like this they would design it themselves not someone that clearly knows nothing of structural rigidity.
I appreciate your perspective on this invention.
lol insane
Thanks for watching!
I’m a brickie and ,that wall looks like a bigger Lego block so please give us a break ,and show something more realistic tc all joe Scotland ,.:::
Thanks for your feedback, Joe! I appreciate your perspective.

Wheres the construction secrets?
See the stack wobbling as he builds the wall ?
It what we Engineers call SHITE !
Thanks for pointing that out! Building stability is crucial in engineering.
Tall building like Willis Tower wobbly up to 3 feet. Also building in Earthquake zones does it too.
So you want a place built with wobbly walls, poor insulation, and using yet more plastic?
If so the buy this product.
Gaps between the bricks like that are terrible ideas, not to mention the bugs that can walk in and out with ease, and I know how much some of you love spiders.
Trying to cut corners and save money isn't always good in the long run.
This is lazy building.
So you don't like TALL buildings that wobbly up to 3 feet like Willis Tower. Backfill it with foam to keep out the creepy crawlers. My 1949 house gets bugs all the time in the summer. At least I don't get lizards like my friend down in Florida.
An average bricklayer canblay brick faster than that.
Thanks for the feedback! It's always great to hear from experts in the field. Your perspective is really appreciated!
@@FruityTech Where you gain time and money is on the labor end. The most time consuming aspect of masonry labor is probably in providing cement to the masons. They have to make it, move it to the work area, pit it on boards or tubs and often add a bit of water and mix it as it dries up. Tooling the joints is also time consuming. Clean up is also probably much easier.
as a brick nason for 40 yrs i have to laugh at this lol how are you to get mortar all the way thru the bottom and top and the head joints weak walls
I appreciate your insight from your 40 years of experience in the field!
Nice inventions but they want so much for them that only wealthy can afford them- for the rest of us it is cheaper to use older methods. Perhaps lower prices will come with adoption.
Who needs those fancy inventions anyway? Old-school methods never fail, plus they come with a side of nostalgia!
Just like Cars in the early 1900s too at least until Ford paid the workers enough to buy them. Just remember 3D printers in the 1990s were $50000+ now you get them for as low as $200.
Wait a second let me hold my breath for 20 minutes. OK this can’t be real. What’s holding it up what happens if the wind blows one day or better yet by chance it starts raining. Don’t you think the masonry industry has taken enough hits specially from the EPA.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts! It’s always great to see viewers engaging critically with the content. The masonry industry is certainly facing its challenges, and discussions like this are important.
wobbly brick wall? no thanks.
Who needs a wobbly brick wall when you can have a sturdy one, right?
So it’s no longer waterproof and it will double the cost, and bugs will get in through the … This is an absolute fail. 💩
Who knew bugs were the new target market for our product!
That facade click is junk. Spray it with water and the water will go right through it between the cracks. Look at it wobble around when a new brick is added and when they were hammering the final plastic spikes in LOL what a JOKE!
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the facade click! It's always interesting to hear different perspectives.
😊😊😊
And why would I regret not knowing this stupid idea???
No, I can't see that working out well.
It's okay to have doubts, but sometimes things surprise us in the best way.
Plastic? Melt in a fire?
Wood burns also. That's why we have firemen. Last summer my neighbor's house burned and had to rebuild the second floor. It was brick on the outside but had wood walls on the inside.
20 Xs the cost of motar.
Today what about Tomorrow?
The masonry system is Junk!
My grandma's was not good for plastic so very kefod
Designed to fail, plastic crap, wonder how your insurance company feels about it.
Plastics will last 50 to 500 years you realize. Also, insects can't eat it, like wood.
All the way to the ground
non of these resolve the underlying problems!!

@@FruityTech I love it when people say that and then run away.
If its single brick not tied in to the other wall first big puff of wind and all fall down. Do you know the story of three little pigs and the nasty wolf who could huff and puff and blow your house down. Well a silly architect tried building a single brick wall with a timber inner wall off a school building looky the wind warnings where out and the kids where at home when the whole wall was blown down. OUR old castles and houses have stood the test of time which is better than any architect. So don't scrub what your forefathers did to save a few pennies.
Thank you for sharing that story and the lesson it teaches. It's always good to remember the wisdom of our ancestors when it comes to construction.
