Probably relative to the price of regular framing in that area, as opposed to the cost of manufactured components. You would have to get bids on conventional building and on this style and compare. I was carpenter for 25 years and never seen anything just like this.

If it is expensive, at least it's modular. That is what I saw in this concept or product, others will expand on it, still a good idea for quick, relatively simple building for anyone
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.

*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.

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.
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.
Looks incredibly strong. Rock-solid really. They need to design the blocks with a hole in the center to accommodate wiring and plumbing. I see they strapped the walls for the wiring but the plumbing is a bit of a mystery. My question is how cost effective is this method? Price or sq ft?
I agree i was wondering the same thing.....why strip the walls and not put the wiring and plumbing in the walls like a traditional home? but the cost effect is a big question per square foot!?! On top of how long the OSB covered blocks are suppose to last "vs" how long they actually last? OSB is junk and thats "all" OSB!
Insulated Concrete Forms work very similar, faster, less work, probably less expensive, and certainly stronger. Wiring and plumbing is a non-issue unlike this sytem. ICF's also withstand 250-mile per hour winds, have up to an R-50 insulated value, and many more benefits.

Also, what keeps a strong storm from lifting the roof right off? I haven't seen anything actually tying these blocks together. Where I live some thunderstorms have reached 90 mph winds without a tornado. Never mind what the tornados do.
Yes. So the only option ist laying bricks or building a concrete house to do it "right"? I've seen how the standard house in the US is build. Redicilous. And in Portugal and Greece? A nightmare. Without constant work on them, they decay in no time.
GERntleMAN lol. There is no “Standard house” in the US. The US has many different regions. Some are prone to Earthquakes, some are prone to hurricanes, some are phone to frost heave, some are prone to fires, etc. There is no “One size fits all” in the US.

@@Hizenbird Seems like the meaning of standard is a little different in English. Maybe average would be more precise. Nontheless I am talking about building quality.
@@GERntleMAN no such thing as a standard house here in the US. Stability and proper construction depends on the year it was built. 1930s-1950s houses are usually better than 1970s-1980s houses. But there are some neighborhoods that have the same looking houses

@@Trekman78 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.
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.
@@happydays8171 funny my house built in 1924...ain't $#!+ square on my house January last year I put down some backing boards I had to laugh to hold back my tears...every door I replaced sags...level is not level for these doors.
@@KingWhiskers1 But what about the plumbing and duct work? That takes up a lot of space. Do they drill massive holes all over the place? In a normal house construction there are detailed plans as to where to run electrical, hot and cold water, plumbing and duct work. Where are they going to put the ducts? Those take a lot of space. Looks like nothing but a gimmick to me. I would never even consider building a house in such a manner. And in what location would building codes even allow it.
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
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
Did you notice that the only thing that keeps this together is styrofoam? Nothing else keeps it together other than 2 inches of foam plastic. This is insane.
@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.
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!
@@Roobeyns traditional japanese building are some of the longest lasting sturdiest buildings. that makes them cheap in the long run or it used to be(few are trained in the style anymore) .cheap now = expensive later. easy now = headache and a ton of work later when it fails and damages other things.
What you are seeing is the basic wall structure. Still wrap and siding to go on outside and wall board on the inside(gyproc, sheetrock whatever) Floors and interior walls if framed and done right along with roof make a very strong house compared to stick frame.
@@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.

@@aethelwolfe3539 yeah it's far from being finished, at this state, it looks like a house you would be pleased to leave in your working area, so you can sleep there to work more hours, it's the super plus worker house ! The more I think about how I will build my house, the more I want to use natural materials : burn the surface of your wood before building, it will last super long ! Take grass and dirt, you'll have walls that keep heat. I would also like a grass roof, but I'm still looking for the material to prevent water to drop under the roof...
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?
I think it is "less inexpensive". That is very labour and materials intensive. That being said I'm comparing it the stick buildings we build in North America, brick buildings are a lot more labour intensive.
I have to say that this is a great concept. The simplicity is outstanding. Yes, is does neet gas, electrical and plumbing, but if you were to do this pre-build, I think you really have a great way to reduce time and cost for a home build. Yep, it is like building a house made of lego's. LOL I am not sure of the weight or the stability in a storm with heavy winds, so that would be another concern. Maybe solar panels or the solar shingles on the roof would also be a bonus.
@SPENCER RALSTON idk man... I wouldn't want a car that kinda works... Id love to see how these hold up over time though... Strong wind wise yeah not much confidence... I'm more curious to see how the interiors hold up in the first few years.
My all metal bed encasing has a 2 year warranty. It came in a relatively small packaging and was nicely folded up and relatively easy to assemble But the quality of the materials themselves were poor; pieces weren't straight, and I had to force some pieces to get close enough to screw together. So I will see how this holds up :)
Not sure how it's any less strong than traditional house frames. It's got interior vertical framing, that screws together. OP, explain why this house is weaker.
@@jsmith42690 All they show is boards to hold the moisture barrier in place. There was nothing showing vertical support save at the corners. That is nowhere near code.
@ObamaReally Suucks Probably because 75% of the English speaking world speak English-English and American English is an oxymoron but probably so are you!
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.

@@DanielTaylorOCMD for real... this is not a practical design! If I was given the chance to be a contractor that installed the electrical system in this type of home..I would say no to the hell no!
Easy. All The installation is done in The 2*2 on The inside of The House . Thats normal in Denmark. Al The plumming is done in The flor, Them up from where its supposed to be usted.
Also, what keeps a strong storm from lifting the roof right off? I haven't seen anything actually tying these blocks together. Where I live some thunderstorms have reached 90 mph winds without a tornado. Never mind what the tornados do.

"Less inexpensive"
Thats how i compare my labour to sound competative whilst still charging more.
Sound like someone who built computers from components in the 1980s comparing their product to an a 2020 laptop.

Yes. So the only option ist laying bricks or building a concrete house to do it "right"? I've seen how the standard house in the US is build. Redicilous. And in Portugal and Greece? A nightmare. Without constant work on them, they decay in no time.
GERntleMAN lol. There is no “Standard house” in the US. The US has many different regions. Some are prone to Earthquakes, some are prone to hurricanes, some are phone to frost heave, some are prone to fires, etc. There is no “One size fits all” in the US. My house had been doing fine for over 80 years, works just fine.
@@Hizenbird Seems like the meaning of standard is a little different in English. Maybe average would be more precise. Nontheless I am talking about building quality.
@@GERntleMAN no such thing as a standard house here in the US. Stability and proper construction depends on the year it was built. 1930s-1950s houses are usually better than 1970s-1980s houses. But there are some neighborhoods that have the same looking houses

Exactly what i think :)
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
@@happydays8171 funny my house built in 1924...ain't $#!+ square on my house January last year I put down some backing boards I had to laugh to hold back my tears...every door I replaced sags...level is not level for these doors.

No electrical. No plumbing. Can't just add that at the end. Weird.
@@herbb8547 Looks like the internal walls will be plaster boarded on top of battens leaving a gap for wiring etc.
@@KingWhiskers1 But what about the plumbing and duct work? That takes up a lot of space. Do they drill massive holes all over the place? In a normal house construction there are detailed plans as to where to run electrical, hot and cold water, plumbing and duct work. Where are they going to put the ducts? Those take a lot of space. Looks like nothing but a gimmick to me. I would never even consider building a house in such a manner. And in what location would building codes even allow it.

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. My guess this house is a hell of a lot more work. It is still cool but not practical
Take it apart and start again.
Ask IKEA 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@BILLY-px3hw the thing is, if the pieces are in mass production, it could be cheaper, less materials, more efficient, and quicker.

It looks as if a storm would easily destroy it.
What you are seeing is the basic wall structure. Still wrap and siding to go on outside and wall board on the inside(gyproc, sheetrock whatever) Floors and interior walls if framed and done right along with roof make a very strong house compared to stick frame.

Yep, it is like building a house made of lego's. LOL I am not sure of the weight or the stability in a storm with heavy winds, so that would be another concern. Maybe solar panels or the solar shingles on the roof would also be a bonus.

@SPENCER RALSTON idk man... I wouldn't want a car that kinda works... Id love to see how these hold up over time though... Strong wind wise yeah not much confidence... I'm more curious to see how the interiors hold up in the first few years.
My all metal bed encasing has a 2 year warranty. It came in a relatively small packaging and was nicely folded up and relatively easy to assemble But the quality of the materials themselves were poor; pieces weren't straight, and I had to force some pieces to get close enough to screw together. So I will see how this holds up :)

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.
