Love the videos, too bad none of these companies understand they will never succeed in the long run if they don't lower their price closer to the cost of cinder blocks. I'm not paying $6,000 for a garden shed.
They are not trying to actually get to market. They just want to take the donated money play around in a work shop and relax. It takes so much work to have a product this large shipped to stores and customers. Way easier to make a quick proof of concept, sell the dream to a small group of 20,000 people and move on.
@@vanderumd11 Is there a way for someone who actually believes in innovative construction techniques to actively manufacture and develop then? All these companies have proof of concepts but none are actively working on large products. What do you think is the way?
@@Crusares it would only take $100 million and the amount of money would be endless. This is how you begin The cost of machine manufacturing.. you would need to be strategic and take over one coast at a time. You need a small natural plant and supply chain Because the cost of gas/fuel/trucks for large blocks is expensive. You need a few acres of land for hay production then lime and cement. The machines would need to press large lightweight hemp or bamboo product blocks with a epoxy putter layer to prevent damage and chipping. You would need to then buy retail space to sell directly to consumer and endless advertising online for easy assemble sheds. You would need to get regulations and lawyers to draft guidelines so people can actually use the product legally. I imagine a simple 3'x 2' light weight pressed block. The problem with these companies is they do not have the ability for distribution. Even if I had 10million blocks... It would cost so much to ship and hold them in stores. It would actually be a perfect idea for home Depot or Lowe's to produce the product in store out of shredded pallets and waste sand, cement ect... They could make a ton of money
Instead of square pegs you should have used round balls and it would have been more earthquake-proof with balls because it would be able to move and sway. In fact they did that in ancient stone structure.
I would like to get information on this year or some pamphlets sent to me about these hemp Style blocks because I need to build a home on my property residential and I would really like to see what I can do about this I need more information how can I get information about this
It would be great to have these building product in the USA. Especial the ones made with hemp and are,carbon neutral. Is there a way to use them here or are they just in the UK?
All these new building ideas are fantastic, but still wondering why we have housing shortages England and other places with technology like this, also the price of new houses is criminal houses built this way should much much cheaper, makes you wonder what our government is really upto.
Why, why are we not using these methods as the mainstream building materials?????? This should not be "the future" - this should be now. The only query I have is earthquake resilience, given that I live in New Zealand. We have approximately 14,000 "shakes" a year.
Would these stand up to tornadoes? Problem with these building materials is they're pretty much shed-worthy at max if they can't stand up to a variety of elements.
Supposed to withstand up to 9.2 earthquake due to the monolithic nature of the connected walls. Would definitely survive Cali earthquakes and fire with the JBR hemp blocks.
Great for hot areas where fireproof and insulating as well as helpful with carbon... hempcrete!
The Hemp Block system seems like it could be almost entirely built by yourself. This is like Earthbag ease of use.
Seriously great building materials,
Totally cool. I truly like this idea, too. It's about time.
I am happy about the hempcrete.
I love the LEGO block approach to home construction 😎🍹
I really luvv this very informative channel. Keep up the good work! Ciao!
That's great news for building your own house.
I really like that hemp material. I think that would be a very good choice. I sure would look to that for my future home build.
Is there an updated website for jo blox? The website listed is not active.

So good to know ogel "possesses a degree of thermal and sound properties" 😂
A very small degree one might add.

I like pizza
looks great but is it affordable for the low income person

Jo Blox - wins here

How has this stood up to the weather this summer? Hope it is meeting all your expectation!

Thing is these blocks aren't cheap
The upfront cost would be more but yes you would save in the long term
Do termites like this?
What method and material of prefabs are best to be anti mold? 🙏🏻
Anything with lime would be helpful. The hemp blocks here are antifungal and antipest.
Where could l buy it?

Literally called and emailed the guys about the hemp blocks and nothing
Absolutely never use OSB! That stuff is disgusting!
I will build my home 🏡 with the hemp blocks.
Expensive, & expensive
That expensive
No to the plastic bits in some of these hemp blocks.
Bro who clicked on this because the thumbnail reminded you of a Lego brick 🧱
Bet it's cheaper than printed houses
plastic block filled with dirt
Seriously brilliant building material ideas to be used, shame they don’t send internationally.
Canada is kept in the dark. Just like the US. It is being used all over the world ..except here ! Lumber Industry don't like it.
Very labor intensive, at least it looks like. Code approval?
Would these stand up to tornadoes? Problem with these building materials is they're pretty much shed-worthy at max if they can't stand up to a variety of elements.
500mph winds for JBR blocks. Thinks that could with stand tornado.
Can you use this in California to meet title 24 65 and seismic?

very interesting---like these a lot
