How about a few videos showing: Electrical installation, Drywall, Cabinets, attaching interior framing walls to it, waterproof treatment below grade, water channeling for exterior finishes above grade, how you attach ledger boards, trusses, etc.
You've almost got me sold. I've looked into ICF, SIP, MSE, etc. Fireproof, earthquake proof, bug proof sounds great. My only concern is waterproofing. Does it need it, if so how ? Looking forward to your reply.
Beauty of the Perfect Block / ICF is that it doesn't shrink or crack when it cures. Check out Matt Risinger's video about the "pink stuff" which is essential in the waterproofing process of The Perfect Block / ICF. It walks you through step by step. Really well done.
This block system reminds me of Rostra Block, which I used in building my home 20+ years ago. I hope this version is termite proof with a chemical inhibitor? My biggest problem will be with termite tunnels hunting for my wood roof. It is very annoying.
The volume of flowing “grout” is restricted to the veins the bar is housed in and it is “poured” in lifts of 4 feet or so. This process drastically reduces hydrostatic pressures. The weight of the horizontal veins of “grout” is supported by the inner framework it is housed in and not transferred to the wet “grout” below, thus the psi on the lowest forms is not multiplied by the “grout” above it. If you’re looking for protection from drive-by shootings and runaway vehicles, go with the conventional ICF. If hurricanes, blizzards, or fires are your fears this system will do ya just fine.
How come the rows of blocks are not staggered (in elevation view)? Wouldn't that facilitate the appearance of cracks? Edit: Never mind. I just read your answer to my question, in one of your posts below. Thanks. It's clear now.
Response from Eco Building Systems: Yes, these block are actually stay-in-place forms and the wall structure and strength all comes from the concrete grouted into the center cores. Exterior stucco is easily applied to any surface of the block.
I do not think it matters if they are staggered or not, since the blocks themselves are not supposed to provide any structural support. Structural support is provided by the rebars and the concrete which will be poured in the core of the blocks.
I live out in Tonopah. I wanted to build with ICF a couple years ago but was scammed out of $12,000 from a poor referral of Build Block. Are you partnered with them? If not then I'd like to see your product.
Can you do a video on a basement procedures and then a build out... even a series of videos. Whenever I'm back stateside, if you want to shoot videos promoting your product contact me. I'm north of winston- salem, NC. Across the road, we have a storage RR track line... Plenty of room on 18 acres with utilities. Contact me if interested.
BLOCKS BLOCKS who is on first... is this also called a EZ block, an APEX block or Earth Friendly block or a Bautex block? Whats all the difference - if any?
Hello, The best Block on the Block is The Perfect Block! This block is no EZ block which I believe is an ACC. aerated concrete. It is not an Apex block because of its dimensions and Apex is out of business. It is not an earth friendly or Bautex Block either. It is a Perfect Block named rightfully so by customers who have used it!. Do some research and check out the most Perfect Block on the market ICCF. Difference is sizing and composite consistency. among other items. and great company to work with.

All great! Up in Wa. state, we were never allowed to let any rebar touch the ground. Glad to be done with that state!
Are you guys in Tonopah? I'm just north in Carson City and would like info on a DIY Root Cellar and man room into the side of the Sierra mountains.
Please show how a fist floor ceeling is constructed and poured.

Can we build a two floor house with this blocks?
Without ties that bind the outer and inner surface together, how does The Perfect Block compare to other ICFs like Nudura?

@@alexnelson6196 : between icf blocks and this, which has better overall strength?
What is the R value? Can u attach isulation, what kind of rooding is used?

Do we need to pour cement into the centre of the blocks? What about external plastering??
Response from Eco Building Systems: Yes, these block are actually stay-in-place forms and the wall structure and strength all comes from the concrete grouted into the center cores. Exterior stucco is easily applied to any surface of the block.
Can this withstand flooding
would this be any good for a retainer wall build?
Great content!
@@theperfectblockiccf Do you export to Europe?
I would love to hear from you.
Happy new year.
R value?
Are these available in Australia?
What if your plans call for 10 or 12 ft ceilings
Also are 2 story homes an issue ?
@@theperfectblockiccf do you have videos showing the finishing of the interior walls ?
I watched a couple of these videos, I didn't see any completed homes.
I wanna build one myself. Can you teach us also how to build the roof?
How do you build the roof
can I improt the block to germany? and build a hous with two floors by my self?
Gibt es auch hier in Deutschland 🤦
Einsteinhaus!
aber funktioniert nicht mit der KfW Bank Finanzierung
Why aren't the blocks staggered in layout?
I do not think it matters if they are staggered or not, since the blocks themselves are not supposed to provide any structural support.
Structural support is provided by the rebars and the concrete which will be poured in the core of the blocks.
@@theperfectblockiccf Thank you! That makes perfect sense! :)
Im sold but I know there are top architects. A referral please.
You can recycle unused block by making a grill, Chairs, Tables and other outside ideas
Do you have a rep in New Mexico?
Not yet Rebecca, but we ship all over North America and the world from our factory in the Phoenix valley in AZ.
Do you make a six inch wall?
For interior walls!!
Can we build a high building about 60ft tall; and 100ft by 40ft size ??
Response from Eco Building Systems: Absolutely, with engineering, you can easily build to 60 ft tall.
How does the cost compare to AAC and ICF systems?
@@theperfectblockiccf do you have a rep in Orlando, FL?
