Used a similar product in Emerald , western Queensland, external walls where 140mm and internal where 90 mm and every 2.4 metres we had a 100mm square post that that was chemset and bolted down , we had to house out the panels where their were posts so our panels could slip around the inside and outside to hide the post , this was for category 5 cyclone rating, once all the walls where up the tops of the wall panels had to have a rebate at the top only on the outside for a continuous 100mm square box section that would run the entire perimeter as a beam and welded to the tops of the post , the inside was left alone , then the ceiling panels would be fitted and screwed to the ring beam , then we would mark out all the trusses and stand and screw the sealing down to the sealing panels and that would hold the ceilings up , all electrical and would be done by heating a metal rod and pushing it down through the wall cavities for lights or chased into the walls by cutting a channel into the wall where they where required, roofing iron was fitted and facia and gutters and associated down pipes and other plumbing, similar to this product the internal walls where plastered and external walls rendered, all up we could have the house built to lockup in two days and completely finished inside and out, fully landscaped and fenced in five days and hand over the keys, these houses are super strong because of the steel the steel posts and ring beam that tied it all to the concrete foundation.
Hi Gazz could I please ask the name of the product that you used. I am wanting to build a insulated building in western Qld. Thanks for you comment, very helpful
15 years ago I lived in Germany and they was building like that for 2 days the whole house is done and it's super energy efficient and they're pre designed and made with all the plumbing and electrical in there so when they put the pieces together it's all set everything in place
Do you live by water though? What about this building design in more tropical climate areas and possible moisture issues...? If you live in Seattle NOW WE'RE TALKIN, but if you're living in the desert...-_______-
Jordan Johnson the walls contain styrophoam which is basically air. So it resists the outer heat. It breaks with ease but the formwork and all the stuff around it makes it pretty robust. I would rather recommend reinforced concrete but this way is fine too as long as no hurricane appears or no car randomly drives through.
Couple quick questions out of interest (though I'm sure the technology behind these has improved since 2011): How well do they fair against high amounts of external pressure (i.e. fast, powerful winds)? How well do they insulate sound?
No question, in fact the local building inspector gave me all sorts of grief. The ac contractors refused the work unless I installed three times as much as I calculated. Finally I had to sign a waver with an out of town contractor. 1700 square feet of house with ten foot ceiling and Fourteen foot cathedral ceilings living and dining one and one half ton reverse cycle ac. Never a problem house stays 71 degrees year round . Cheap to keep, seriously the extra cost of building has already been repaid. Mostly I wanted a super insulated home so I could use a small solar system. Back then panels were much,ore expensive.
I have stood inside the display house in Wallan, Victoria, Australia. The house is exposed to the wind on top of a hill. It's a two story house. I checked every square centremetre for cracks and did not find one. The house has been there for a while. the walls are held In two steel channels one on the top and one on the bottom. Overall it felt very well made and strong. No wood means no cellulose for termites to eat. We have termites here that eat wooden frame houses and I am concerned that the termites are becoming more resistant to the chemicals used to control them and humans less so. The chemical barriers can easily be damaged and breached by termites. This is main reason that I am choosing this building system. The house also has a 9 star energy rating which is three stars higher than the current requirement in Victoria Building Code which means that it will cost less to heat and cool over the life of the building.
good on you Peter ! Have you built yet? Termites can't sharpen their teeth or get sustenance from the poly...and the top hat bottom channel do not make it easy for them to penetrate...and no food to aim for...Darwin...ask the cool room providers who have had Bondor coolrooms since before Cyclone Tracey. With interest 3 of the surviving buildings after Tracey were coolrooms..BUT way different engineering. Not suitable for domestic above cat 3 homes ...yet.
that makes everything so much quicker. I like how efficient it was and it seemed to make the job less strenuous. I wish I can have a house built for me and my family one day.
Interesting presentation, however there are important aspects of building performance that must be considered - for example the metal perimeter channel into which the panels are slotted and fixed creates a direct thermal bridge between the exterior and the interior (cold bridge). The conductivity of the cold bridge is amplified by connection to the concrete slab. A similar top channel is also a thermal bridge and both top and bottom of wall may promote internal condensation at metal internal moist air interface. Mechanical air exchange is also likely to be required in this system owing to lack of vapour permeability of the assembly.
If the slab on grade foundation is completely insulated, do you see a potential detail solution for those bridges? Perhaps adhering additional EPS foam boards in those areas to keep the metal inside the envelope and make it part of the look?
+vengencefrom1979 That's the first thing I thought of when they were erecting the outside walls. Then later in the video, BAM an electrical outlet... HOW?
If you look at part of the description in the later part of the video it tells you about how they install the electricty/plumbing etc. Basicly decide where you want it before you build...or use candles😃
At the time of the slab pour, there was no roughed in plumbing. There were a couple things stubbed up, but none big enough for waste. I guess they like port-a-johns.
i had a quote on this product and it was over twice the cost of standard insulated brick construction..... that coupled with cases of leaks and other problems i think this product still has a way to go in before being adopted in Australia
Love this video! When I got Bondor panels for my roof in the alfresco area, I wanted it to cover my extension as well. Love it! No painting nor maintenance at all. I drew up plans for my next home, but this video show more complex ways of using indoor panels. Sleek, strong, insulating, maintenance free!!
***** foundation looked ok, I build house's for a living where was the framing? how do they run the electrical/pluming/hvac looked like foam wall panels compressed in steel sheeting(maybe?) do they hollow out the panels and whats the integrity afterwards going to be like dont get me wrong looks like a great idea and a way cheaper alternative to how we build house atm here in Canada ill def have to look into this cheers mate
Not just different, this is actually a good idea. Make the panels with built in conduits, it would further save weight, material and facilitate plumbing and wiring with little to no loss of strength.
I work for company called Gmi homes and this type of home is much much stronger then your brick homes or stud framed homes. People always bag what they do not know. Panel homes like this is the future.
Okay im not sure how much you know about SIPs but they can withstand hurricanes and earthquakes. There is a photo of tornado aftermaths where the only houses standing are SIP homes like the one in this video. Its hard to believe but do a bit of research and be surprised :)
sorry but it seems like any person with a hammer can com straight through a wall. It's basically drywall with 5 inch of Styrofoam inside. How is this safe?
I totally agree Terrell. Not only can a person break that easily, but a high wind would just level that house. Energy efficient, yes, safe and secure, definitely not.
domydomy2 That is even worst, you do know there is no way to permanently protect steel from rust. Look at the bridges of today all across America. Some part of your house will eventually rust and rot away with out you knowing it because it will be covered by paint or primer. Not good either way.
Terrell J not necessarily ...there are rust-free panels , but that prefab is made for industrial purposes , for a house i doubt...i mean i've seen 30 years old buildings made of this and there is no rust around them :)
Very cool idea. I think pre-fab materials that are assembled on site like this are the future of all types of construction. It cut costs and improves speed.
Omg.. I never comment but just had to after reading all the clueless people who have commented previously. First the panels come several different ways. Most are steel on both sides with foam in middle. The ones most use have steel on outside already coloured and can come with different profiles to give the look you want without having to paint or plaster (this video is older basic panels) The ceiling in the video show the finished unpainted face if the roofing which is steel. You can hang ceiling fans off it without having to find a rafter. You ever tried punching a hole in a steel roof. These panels are strong. Do some research see the spans, wind loads etc that these handle. They are cyclone rated for the top end of Australia where we get cat 5 storms. Look on youtube for cyclone videos and you always see steel roofs peeling off in high wind. These bonded panels are way stronger and don't peel in a storm. This type of panel is used on refrigerated trucks and you can't karate chop them and they handle high wind loads at speed. They have different ways of doing wiring and plumbing. Most panels come with conduit at various levels, like power point height and light switch height. Wiring can run up or down and yes you can do down lights or anything you can in a normal house. Keep in mind a normal brick house you build a frame they do ply bracing just to get it rigid. These panels are like frames braced both sides by plywood but instead of just bracing corners of a house the whole house is braced by these panels. Each panel is like a large cyclone bolt. Yes they should of showed wiring and plumbing, and yes they should of showed the actual bolts holding the frame to the concrete slab and shown the number of screws really used to fix top and bottom plate. But seriously guys this is fast to build. They actually seem expensive at first but seeing as you not employing so many builders and don't have to frame, then clad, then line the inside these are awesome.
Australia is one of the few countries that is ahead of the times as far as smaller and Energy Efficient homes I sincerely doubt that they just haphazardly threw this out there without any testing. Do people really need to be spoon feed every detail in a short TH-cam video? They do have a website, it is not really that hard to go to it and look for more information on their products. You can, also, ask them questions there, if you can not find what you were concerned about.
Barskor1 yea... heres a good demo for you. take a cheap " plastic " butter knife and stab it into a empty pop can then saw away........ it will cut FAST!
They make industrial drive in cooler/freezers exactly like this in the US. I've always thought they would make spectacularly easy to build and efficient houses!
Cyclone rods are missing, they are 1/2 rods fixed to the actual concrete floor at 3' appart, they also are attached to the suff trusses that are also 3' apart, this construction is good for a TV show, not for living in, it would be a dangerous house.
Building regs in Australia are serious, if tie down rods where needed ie you lived in a cyclone prone area (the tropical North) they would be required law. The fact is most Australians live in areas that are not prone to cyclones or even regular storms. Normy and Punisher should do some research before making comments to avoid looking foolish.
Helga Anderson I disagree with you, willi willi can be anywhere in Australia, the same with floods. It is good for mobile homes but not for permanent residentials, Melloco in Sydney (Elizabeth St, Building centre in 1980) build a house in 2 days with precast concrete pannels, much better than what you have shown, no self tapping screws on the bot and top plates.
Helga Anderson Helga the only thing thats appears foolish here is your comment.... I watched the entire video but never seen ant significant structure added, without a doubt your cyclone straps would not hold that styrofoam cooler together for any hurricane that frequents the State of Florida.
Abby Normy Abby do you want to wind proof them or flood proof them make up your mind. Willy Willys please I am talking about real weather, have you bothered to find about building regs in your area before you mouth off.
How could you prevent galvanic corrosion near the screws-wall contacts? Which kind of material you choose to prevent it. I just want more to know about it... it looks great as a system.
So....what stops someone from walking up and kicking a hole in your living room wall? Seems to me that the external walls are not nearly sturdy enough to be weather/wind resistant. The interior walls would be ok like this, but not the exterior. The only way this would work for me is if it had a brick or stone exterior.
+bleeckertb i guess all places have different problem's. my first concern was the small dimension on the load bearing part's and the problem with ant's. i need it to be able to have just under half a ton pr square meter on the roof. then it is the ant problem. it dos not seem to have the minimum 2.5cm/1" of concrete surrounding the insulation. the fireproofing will make it useless for my place. the ant will get in to it and eat it up in no time. the insulation looks a bit thin as well. regulation's need it to not need much heating when it is -20f outside.
+I'M_YOUR_TROLL You forget this is an 'Engineered" structure and is not a stick structure. The design and installation would have to meet all the local building codes which vary from state to state, county to county and city to city. All building codes were originally based on wood, masonry, steel and concrete construction. As new technology comes along each inspection agency has to approve before it is built. In Arizona there are houses built of tires, dirt and foam to name a few. Michigan I have been in homes built of light weight concrete mixed with foam.
+bleeckertb - in the InsulLiving brochure they give a breakdown of wind load and maximum height / span for the walls (page 11): www.insulliving.com.au/insulliving/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/New_InsulLiving_Brochure.pdf Looking at a wind speed design guide for reference, you can see that with the shortest spans these things can withstand up to 111 MPH winds: www.stratco.com.au/custom/files/docs/Brochures/Wind%20Speed%20Design%20Guide%20(1).pdf I would be comfortable building to those standards if I weren't directly on (or near) the coast. Should be sufficient inland. Cheers.
romeo mikay fabricated into the panels or floor depending on need. No you cannot change it as a builder or home owner or second owner, if the structure lasts that long.
Hanging pictures and putting holes in the wall may be an issue as well as restoration or additions. Don't like the material. I wonder what the price of construction is.
These are KNOWN to withstand hurricanes. They sell PRIMARILY to these areas. Wood homes made of sticks are complete trash. Metal homes are hard to manufacture, and concrete homes fall on you in am earthquake and youre officially a tortilla.
I am amazed and impressed. With few small changes it can be much more durable and it can be 100% energy efficient and that was a main goal. Congrats. 99%of the people around the world would die to have 20 sq meter for himself no matter how is build. I love it and will use this in EU to solve residential problems.
Very interesting and innovative. 👍 Sir... I wanted to know whether is this construction available in Andhra Pradesh. Also... May I know that how far it is safe from Sunlight,water, heat and thieves. Tq.
Sir we can construct a home everything with steel and sandwhich board for partition walls.the cost comes around 1000- 1500 per sq.ft. We can dismantle the entire house if we want to relocate. Cons; V board is not strong enough,it can be used for inside partitions for outer wall its not safe.so we can go for some other method.
Why all the stupid comments? I am fairly certain that the product meets all relevant loading criteria for wind, seismic etc along with sound, insulation, fire resistance etc for the local building code or they wouldn't be allowed to used it. The world has moved on from timber studs and cedar shingles!
I agree with the seismic part, cause material like that, will bend and survive to a massive shake, but wind? float and all that? Man that is not the future if is not in context with all types of civilizations and weather conditions...
If the world has moved on why is my new IRC code book so damned thick and my lumber suppliers are still profiting. To try and categorize this as a 100% replacement for concrete and stick framing is nonsense.
@@kiiikoooPT maybe not where you live Francisco... EVERY Coolroom on the planet is now made using a similar technique. Bondor have a global footprint called Metecno... this is not new and is greatly needed in hot climates given we no longer build pyramids.
Back in 1984 We built a house in cabo San Lucas, baca California using 4'X8'X6" foam panels. We used concrete for footings, columns and headers, strung tension cables across ceiling areas. We stood up the foam for the walls, and laid them down for the roof/ceiling. Glueing them all together at the seams, then we wrapped the entire house inside and out with stucco mesh and paper, brown coated and color coated. All the Mexican workers thought we were nuts and kept telling us it would last. It is still there in perfectly good condition, has survived hurricanes, storms, the only maintenance it's needed was refinishing the wood Windows and doors. In 1984 there weren't styrofoam construction panels we just used raw blanks
Just came across this and have a question in the years since it was made.. have you come up with roofing options that incorporate solar panels into the design? that one side of the roof (shown being assembled at around the 7 minute mark) all but screams for a massive solar array that, depending on the efficiency of the panels used, could severely reduce the homeowners electrical bills
No you didn’t. Electrical and plumbing race ways and stub outs are pre fabricated into the panels and cannot be changed by the builder or the owner without ruining the structural integrity of the panel.
Solvent of Tungsten and Styrofoam bolted in with a reinforced crossbar insulation might help with wind and water resistance. Also depending on the area might serve as an earthquake shelter too.
How buildings are constructed makes all the difference. Not all hurricanes are category 5s and even in a category 5, there are broad sweeps of land that suffer strong but survivable winds if the houses are properly built. Also, tornados occur in every state.
Lol you are all wrong about not being able to withstand a tornado better than a wood framed house... I’ve been installing panels now for 24 years and and built many man caves ,,, sheds,,, dog houses ,,, Ice chests,,, patios,,, and garages big enough to fit a 40’ motorhome and 40’ 5th wheel toy hauler inside... so much easier and way faster to build with... it’s just a matter of time before the USA starts to build houses out of IMP’s ... there is a fastener that is used to support a lot of weight and it’s called a “fab lock”... I was-told that one of these can hold up to around 700 lbs... I would feel safer in one of these than to be in a wood framed house... u can’t judge what u don’t know... I’m saying this with all do respect... believe me,,, once u saw a closeup of installation you may change ur mind...
This is an Australian based company designing these houses per Australian guidelines, probably for areas where cyclones aren't as big an issue. Not everywhere in the world has house-toppling winds. Use your brain, man.
@@bdm7687 I also have been installing for over 20 yrs. Co thst I own builds all the freezer/cooler boxes for Costco, Sam's, etc. People just don't realize that once built how solid these structures are.
yes... I too am curious about these special items.. from what I saw, there was nothing special about it. Pretty much everything you saw would go into a normal house... the only thing I could see cost a lot is if the Insul-Living brand went out of business and you needed a replacement wall panel... then what? other than that, looks pretty straight forward.
There is heaps of companies doing this modular walling type. You will find it a lot in fencing. its not going any were. Similar to freezer construction.
I am interested to construct green building and house in Bhutan. Are there any companies in india to help me? How expensive and durable are these materials used?
i want see too normal wood house or brick house test, i think have lot same. all go broken than tornado come too near.but thats is best select north area warm easy made,cheap,good house.
Any other house built would disappear same way (except sold brick houses, maybe). I think there is no difference between a wood house and this, except that this one will not burn as fast.
Terry Mashburn Almost every house in the USA is too weak for a tornado. For a tornado there is no difference between wood and styrofoam. I bet this one is more solid than a wood hut.
I suspect this would work great in some locations but suck in areas where you might have high winds, etc. I mean, it is held together with screws after all. Small screws at that.
they used to have floridia houses masonart flat roofs and metal shutters,this old house went to homestead fla years back the whole neighborhood was flatten but there stood this old florida house structure still sound,shutters had been removed prier to storm windows suffered but structure was still there

When a storm blows it apart you just pick up the panels and reassemble. Each piece is numbered for convenience
They withstand hurricanes... how much research have you done on SIPs?

This walling is highly durable, and withstands more pressure than traditional walls. Its being used more frequently for commercial use in the Midwest.

Not just different, this is actually a good idea. Make the panels with built in conduits, it would further save weight, material and facilitate plumbing and wiring with little to no loss of strength.

@Terrel: this is not dry wall - it is sandwich panel ( with steel sheets ): So with hummer it will be easier to simply breake the window glass.
domydomy2 That is even worst, you do know there is no way to permanently protect steel from rust. Look at the bridges of today all across America. Some part of your house will eventually rust and rot away with out you knowing it because it will be covered by paint or primer. Not good either way.
Terrell J not necessarily ...there are rust-free panels , but that prefab is made for industrial purposes , for a house i doubt...i mean i've seen 30 years old buildings made of this and there is no rust around them :)
Very cool idea. I think pre-fab materials that are assembled on site like this are the future of all types of construction. It cut costs and improves speed.
Omg.. I never comment but just had to after reading all the clueless people who have commented previously.
First the panels come several different ways. Most are steel on both sides with foam in middle. The ones most use have steel on outside already coloured and can come with different profiles to give the look you want without having to paint or plaster (this video is older basic panels)
The ceiling in the video show the finished unpainted face if the roofing which is steel. You can hang ceiling fans off it without having to find a rafter.
You ever tried punching a hole in a steel roof. These panels are strong. Do some research see the spans, wind loads etc that these handle. They are cyclone rated for the top end of Australia where we get cat 5 storms. Look on youtube for cyclone videos and you always see steel roofs peeling off in high wind. These bonded panels are way stronger and don't peel in a storm. This type of panel is used on refrigerated trucks and you can't karate chop them and they handle high wind loads at speed.
They have different ways of doing wiring and plumbing. Most panels come with conduit at various levels, like power point height and light switch height. Wiring can run up or down and yes you can do down lights or anything you can in a normal house.
Keep in mind a normal brick house you build a frame they do ply bracing just to get it rigid. These panels are like frames braced both sides by plywood but instead of just bracing corners of a house the whole house is braced by these panels. Each panel is like a large cyclone bolt.
Yes they should of showed wiring and plumbing, and yes they should of showed the actual bolts holding the frame to the concrete slab and shown the number of screws really used to fix top and bottom plate.
But seriously guys this is fast to build. They actually seem expensive at first but seeing as you not employing so many builders and don't have to frame, then clad, then line the inside these are awesome.
Thank you! th-cam.com/video/wuyZ-dPXA_s/w-d-xo.html this video shows a 3D rendering of it. 2:45 for the pipes and wiring.
Australia is one of the few countries that is ahead of the times as far as smaller and Energy Efficient homes I sincerely doubt that they just haphazardly threw this out there without any testing. Do people really need to be spoon feed every detail in a short TH-cam video? They do have a website, it is not really that hard to go to it and look for more information on their products. You can, also, ask them questions there, if you can not find what you were concerned about.
Angi Thomson , Australia Australia Australia!
Who needs to break a window or kick in a door when you can just use a knife and carve a hole out.
carve a hole in the steel skin?
It is not thick steel less than a millimeter thick.
Barskor1 you still couldnt do it but nice try.....either way these are flimsy peices of shit
Barskor1 yea... heres a good demo for you. take a cheap " plastic " butter knife and stab it into a empty pop can then saw away........ it will cut FAST!
Everett Leonard Here's a good demo for you get a real tool and cut though that wall without tripping the alarms set on the doors and windows.
imagine buying this house not knowing it was assembled like this.
If it was price at half a million dollars then I'd be mad angry, but if the house was listed at 100k or less I I'd be okay.
They make industrial drive in cooler/freezers exactly like this in the US. I've always thought they would make spectacularly easy to build and efficient houses!
What kind of material used
Nice home but way too weak for areas with regular storms. Unless you add a steel frame or concrete im afraid its just a styrofoam box.
Cyclone rods are missing, they are 1/2 rods fixed to the actual concrete floor at 3' appart, they also are attached to the suff trusses that are also 3' apart, this construction is good for a TV show, not for living in, it would be a dangerous house.
Building regs in Australia are serious, if tie down rods where needed ie you lived in a cyclone prone area (the tropical North) they would be required law. The fact is most Australians live in areas that are not prone to cyclones or even regular storms. Normy and Punisher should do some research before making comments to avoid looking foolish.
Helga Anderson I disagree with you, willi willi can be anywhere in Australia, the same with floods. It is good for mobile homes but not for permanent residentials, Melloco in Sydney (Elizabeth St, Building centre in 1980) build a house in 2 days with precast concrete pannels, much better than what you have shown, no self tapping screws on the bot and top plates.
Helga Anderson Helga the only thing thats appears foolish here is your comment.... I watched the entire video but never seen ant significant structure added, without a doubt your cyclone straps would not hold that styrofoam cooler together for any hurricane that frequents the State of Florida.
Abby Normy Abby do you want to wind proof them or flood proof them make up your mind. Willy Willys please I am talking about real weather, have you bothered to find about building regs in your area before you mouth off.
The whole house is attached to the foundations with what looks like 3 to 5 cm screws. What's the weather raiting?
I was thinking about the same thing, no posts or beans for the framing... I don’t know if would it be suitable for Florida weather
Tell me where the energy to create the panels comes from.
come from China sophia@cmcogroup.com
By burning elephant ivory
Hungarian gypsies talk to dragons, summon energy and steal our water, ice pirates hung arian get it?
How could you prevent galvanic corrosion near the screws-wall contacts? Which kind of material you choose to prevent it. I just want more to know about it... it looks great as a system.
What material used as flooring?
So....what stops someone from walking up and kicking a hole in your living room wall? Seems to me that the external walls are not nearly sturdy enough to be weather/wind resistant. The interior walls would be ok like this, but not the exterior. The only way this would work for me is if it had a brick or stone exterior.
Apparently they withstand category 5 hurricanes. I’m dumbfounded as to how.
Its a high density foam. You wouldnt be able to kick it in. Same reason they us foam in cars underneath the bumpers.
what kind of wind loading can it withstand, and how is the sound proofing? i would thing that this should have a quiet interior
+bleeckertb That was the first question came to mind as well, it seems that it wouldn't take much to lift the entire house off the slab.
+bleeckertb yup my 1st thought how would that take to a cat 3 hurricane.
+bleeckertb i guess all places have different problem's. my first concern was the small dimension on the load bearing part's and the problem with ant's. i need it to be able to have just under half a ton pr square meter on the roof. then it is the ant problem. it dos not seem to have the minimum 2.5cm/1" of concrete surrounding the insulation. the fireproofing will make it useless for my place. the ant will get in to it and eat it up in no time. the insulation looks a bit thin as well. regulation's need it to not need much heating when it is -20f outside.
+I'M_YOUR_TROLL You forget this is an 'Engineered" structure and is not a stick structure. The design and installation would have to meet all the local building codes which vary from state to state, county to county and city to city. All building codes were originally based on wood, masonry, steel and concrete construction. As new technology comes along each inspection agency has to approve before it is built. In Arizona there are houses built of tires, dirt and foam to name a few. Michigan I have been in homes built of light weight concrete mixed with foam.
+bleeckertb - in the InsulLiving brochure they give a breakdown of wind load and maximum height / span for the walls (page 11):
www.insulliving.com.au/insulliving/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/New_InsulLiving_Brochure.pdf
Looking at a wind speed design guide for reference, you can see that with the shortest spans these things can withstand up to 111 MPH winds:
www.stratco.com.au/custom/files/docs/Brochures/Wind%20Speed%20Design%20Guide%20(1).pdf
I would be comfortable building to those standards if I weren't directly on (or near) the coast. Should be sufficient inland.
Cheers.
Curious how plumbing and electrical was done
romeo mikay fabricated into the panels or floor depending on need. No you cannot change it as a builder or home owner or second owner, if the structure lasts that long.
Very impressive, it just needs a solar roof. Interestingly, CA recently passed legislation requiring that all new houses must have solar cell roofs.
that was fun to watch. thank you
This is more fun quakeproofyourhome.com/
Hanging pictures and putting holes in the wall may be an issue as well as restoration or additions. Don't like the material. I wonder what the price of construction is.
Well, with middle aged white guys building.............Looking at 150+ hourly each..I'd guess 100,000 at least in labor besides the "space panels" lol

MrMixmasterslick with couple of Mexicans building this for you,,,you should be ok,,,I have few ,just advise,,,hahahahaha
I just want to know the total cost of this home
same I'm thinking under a hundred grand
Imagine building one of these near the Gulf of Mexico right before hurricane season
These are KNOWN to withstand hurricanes. They sell PRIMARILY to these areas. Wood homes made of sticks are complete trash. Metal homes are hard to manufacture, and concrete homes fall on you in am earthquake and youre officially a tortilla.
so cheap if you house blows away you build a new one
Cost please
How is it made with the electring and water pipings?
I am amazed and impressed.
With few small changes it can be much more durable and it can be 100% energy efficient and that was a main goal.
Congrats. 99%of the people around the world would die to have 20 sq meter for himself no matter how is build. I love it and will use this in EU to solve residential problems.
Interesting, how much does such house cost ?
Unfortunately, a month after it was finished, the Big Bad Wolf stopped by and blew the house down. Just kidding guys, take it easy.
😂😆🤣😁😎
Cougar Land lol
looks like it though
As usual, cheap stuff sold high. Gives me the impression they think people are stupid. oh well Trump minded audacity.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I would totally be okay with having this...looks good to me
Still not available in NZ though, right?
Very interesting and innovative. 👍
Sir...
I wanted to know whether is this construction available in Andhra Pradesh.
Also...
May I know that how far it is safe from Sunlight,water, heat and thieves.
Tq.
Its a V bord.we are doing it in tamilnadu. For commercial buildings.
@@nallathambi1893 Then for common man usage?....other than Tamilnadu?
Sir we can construct a home everything with steel and sandwhich board for partition walls.the cost comes around 1000- 1500 per sq.ft.
We can dismantle the entire house if we want to relocate.
Cons;
V board is not strong enough,it can be used for inside partitions for outer wall its not safe.so we can go for some other method.
@@nallathambi1893 ok.Tq....sir.
I am curious how do you run electrical wire n do the plumbing on those wall
On the surface of wall. inside wall, or on the surface of roof, or maybe by wifi.
Why all the stupid comments? I am fairly certain that the product meets all relevant loading criteria for wind, seismic etc along with sound, insulation, fire resistance etc for the local building code or they wouldn't be allowed to used it. The world has moved on from timber studs and cedar shingles!
^ You literally don't have to worry about what other people are doing with their lives. You could just live quietly in your beloved brick house.
I agree with the seismic part, cause material like that, will bend and survive to a massive shake, but wind? float and all that? Man that is not the future if is not in context with all types of civilizations and weather conditions...
If the world has moved on why is my new IRC code book so damned thick and my lumber suppliers are still profiting. To try and categorize this as a 100% replacement for concrete and stick framing is nonsense.
@@kiiikoooPT maybe not where you live Francisco... EVERY Coolroom on the planet is now made using a similar technique. Bondor have a global footprint called Metecno... this is not new and is greatly needed in hot climates given we no longer build pyramids.
@David Goans Yes...look at the other videos.
Back in 1984 We built a house in cabo San Lucas, baca California using 4'X8'X6" foam panels. We used concrete for footings, columns and headers, strung tension cables across ceiling areas. We stood up the foam for the walls, and laid them down for the roof/ceiling. Glueing them all together at the seams, then we wrapped the entire house inside and out with stucco mesh and paper, brown coated and color coated. All the Mexican workers thought we were nuts and kept telling us it would last. It is still there in perfectly good condition, has survived hurricanes, storms, the only maintenance it's needed was refinishing the wood Windows and doors. In 1984 there weren't styrofoam construction panels we just used raw blanks
how long of the house can use ? 30 years or over ?
Just came across this and have a question in the years since it was made..
have you come up with roofing options that incorporate solar panels into the design? that one side of the roof (shown being assembled at around the 7 minute mark) all but screams for a massive solar array that, depending on the efficiency of the panels used, could severely reduce the homeowners electrical bills
Wait... If that wall can be lifted by 2 men HOW IS THIS TORNADO-PROOF??
+Quenten Schoonderwoerd Those 1/2 inch screws on the bottom...
s6juggs It's still gonna lift it up... Or at least destroy it...
Sorry that was sarcasm.
No house is tornado proof
+Tanner Travis Not true, you just got to know what you are doing, I'm designing one now that is.
Did I miss how the electric was installed in the walls?
dihskursiv 0 energy.....
No you didn’t. Electrical and plumbing race ways and stub outs are pre fabricated into the panels and cannot be changed by the builder or the owner without ruining the structural integrity of the panel.
Where can one get your products in South Africa? What about training providers.
Stunning!
The forecast calls for 10 mph winds. Bye house
The SIPs I help build - fabs.us/
i think youd be surprised how well these things hold up my friends dad build his business out of it around 12yrs ago and its crazy sturdy!
Phil Brown How fast can a house like this be build ?
mncarguy Or a little snow, bye roof!
Depends on how big. But I've seen them go up in 3-4 wks with minimum amount of workers +TheDawg475
Where is thje electicals and plumbing...???
Down voids in the panel, excluding sewer pipes . We use a similar product
Imagine a styrofoam house in a hurricane.
There's a video on a foam concrete house that I just saw...
Solvent of Tungsten and Styrofoam bolted in with a reinforced crossbar insulation might help with wind and water resistance. Also depending on the area might serve as an earthquake shelter too.
and imagine it on fire
+Oleg Evsiutin then you know absolutely nothing. Source: I live in Miami
How buildings are constructed makes all the difference. Not all hurricanes are category 5s and even in a category 5, there are broad sweeps of land that suffer strong but survivable winds if the houses are properly built. Also, tornados occur in every state.
How long did it take for them to install all the Insulated coloursteel panels?... For it to be structural and finished..
Nice concept , is it available in india ?
When the big bad wolf comes to blow your hose down, dont complain fa
+Godz Is safer under that Rock, you are living in now ..
UnboundGodz
Yes, I don't see the strength in the product, in tornado or high wind areas, I see it being blown apart. Best,
Lol you are all wrong about not being able to withstand a tornado better than a wood framed house... I’ve been installing panels now for 24 years and and built many man caves ,,, sheds,,, dog houses ,,, Ice chests,,, patios,,, and garages big enough to fit a 40’ motorhome and 40’ 5th wheel toy hauler inside... so much easier and way faster to build with... it’s just a matter of time before the USA starts to build houses out of IMP’s ... there is a fastener that is used to support a lot of weight and it’s called a “fab lock”... I was-told that one of these can hold up to around 700 lbs... I would feel safer in one of these than to be in a wood framed house... u can’t judge what u don’t know... I’m saying this with all do respect... believe me,,, once u saw a closeup of installation you may change ur mind...
This is an Australian based company designing these houses per Australian guidelines, probably for areas where cyclones aren't as big an issue. Not everywhere in the world has house-toppling winds. Use your brain, man.
@@bdm7687 I also have been installing for over 20 yrs. Co thst I own builds all the freezer/cooler boxes for Costco, Sam's, etc. People just don't realize that once built how solid these structures are.
1/2" TEK screws to hold the wall in place?
Yes they look like 15 mil long super strong
wonder if repairs and maintenance will be a hassle down the road with the specialty items needed
what specialty items?
yes... I too am curious about these special items.. from what I saw, there was nothing special about it. Pretty much everything you saw would go into a normal house... the only thing I could see cost a lot is if the Insul-Living brand went out of business and you needed a replacement wall panel... then what? other than that, looks pretty straight forward.
There is heaps of companies doing this modular walling type. You will find it a lot in fencing. its not going any were. Similar to freezer construction.
brandon s. ,, keep it painted and use the proper sealants when needed and it will last many lifetimes
I am interested to construct green building and house in Bhutan. Are there any companies in india to help me? How expensive and durable are these materials used?
How we get this material
Interesting concept with regional applications. Nice Job!
I want to see one in hail test and tornado test. that should be a good laugh
i want see too normal wood house or brick house test, i think have lot same. all go broken than tornado come too near.but thats is best select north area warm easy made,cheap,good house.
We were In a tornado - doesn’t matter what construction the house is made of. It’s going “away”
Hurricane Andrew blasted through concrete houses.
The title of this video should be updated... been 7 years now since this video was uploaded. Very resourceful video though. 🙏
Same I wish they updated a video to show the overall progress now done in order to make it a lot more affordable and safe.
I came to the guests, knocked on the door, the house and collapsed)))
are this material for all weather? I'm from Malaysia.
I'd like to see how the electrical wiring , heat and air was installed . otherwise it looks good..
No thanks, I'll keep my double walled concrete and brick house.
Brick does not do well in earthquakes. Every area has its own issues.
Tom Jacobs , this house is for sale, but not for life...
What is the price?
Good Question!!!
$.99 per wall 😁
waiting for a new bug to appear that loves styrofoam
well actually ,, the bug would have to eat threw the tin first ,, the foam is inside two tin surfaces
You mean a bug named a Tornado, this thing would disappear faster then a termites lunch.
Any other house built would disappear same way (except sold brick houses, maybe). I think there is no difference between a wood house and this, except that this one will not burn as fast.
Possibly the new Tornado magnet, watch out Trailer parks their out to steal your rep.
Terry Mashburn Almost every house in the USA is too weak for a tornado. For a tornado there is no difference between wood and styrofoam. I bet this one is more solid than a wood hut.
Súper , genial me gusto . 👍👍👍
how about the strength? lets say horrizontal wind loads?
I suspect this would work great in some locations but suck in areas where you might have high winds, etc. I mean, it is held together with screws after all. Small screws at that.
I live in Australia for 10 yrs .by far houses there is amazing.
Whats the total cost
With material and labour
"Toto, I don't think we're in Kansas anymore" ... "If I only had a brain!" "Auntie Em, Auntie Em!!"

Woke up and choose. All floors shine!!
a few screws wont hold a house together with 120 +winds
thats why you dont live in the south :P when will people in florida ever learn >.
they used to have floridia houses masonart flat roofs and metal shutters,this old house went to homestead fla years back the whole neighborhood was flatten but there stood this old florida house structure still sound,shutters had been removed prier to storm windows suffered but structure was still there
I must say it's not everyday you run across a job site where there is no language barrier
I realized they must be Australian pretty quickly based on their hats, socks, tools and lack of brown dudes.
Why not make house from leafs?!
Needs too much glue.
+Paul Langford You don't need glue for that.
For one, there are things called storms like hurricanes & tornadoes that would be like the big bad wolf to a leaf house.
Now you are a mockingCastana. Bhwahahahahahaharharharhar... my stomach, it's aching... har har har...
why not?
How are the walls of the house breathe??? Isn't super hot during summer??
