The major cost of building a house is labor (in the us, california in particular). The major time sink is all the finishing work, the roofing, the interior, the wiring, the plumbing. You could have a square box for free, and a house would still cost about the same. Plastic has a big issue with expansion and contraction, I would be skeptical of material made from particular those blocks. Would have to see all the testing results.
Suberb! Thank you for sharing this video regarding new building materials & technologies especially recycling of plastics. This is indeed suitable for Third World & Developing countries. Greetings from Papua New Guinea.
I agree would be so much easier to rack and stack them. If you really want to know you'll have to contact the companies via email, they rarely show thier costs with the public unless you ask directly.
Well yeah would be great but..... gou have to check foe yourself because prices do change given different circumstances... Some things (like prefab for example) Require a factory So shipping is a issue... Some things are only available in some locations while other thing require professionals.. (could be locals/...) So there are lots of unknowns... Just get a estimate
When prices for materials are not advertised on manufacturers sites, it's usually more expensive than conventional construction materials. They will claim you save on labour, but actually labour costs on a buildings superstructure isn't that much. The cost is in what completes the house ie roof, electrics, carpets, cupboards, foundation, insulation etc. So as a rule hardly any saving on a structure that won't last as long as brick. These construction methods are ok for when building structures on sites whith difficult access. Best alternative is a solid log cabin.
@@zabadackakaHansCoche mostly true.. the framers are part of it. If its not partly diy, you still have the contractor to pay. Insulation comes with the block so you dont pay for the walls and the labor for that.... the rest depends on how much icf you do with the roof and floors
I've always thought SIP panels were the way to go but my opinion is based more on just seeing the concept rather than any "nuts and bolts" type of examination. I wonder if there are any studies showing cost comparisons, relative strength, long term durability, etc. that would help determine if one method is better than another? The one shown in this video (#2) caught my eye as I built fiberglass boats for 30 years and I'm very familiar with the materials and technology.
I like the 'Lego' block building concept being implemented in the variations of lock-n-block building materials for design and building structures that are...Hopefully...Hypo-Allergenic, and can be ADA compliant.
You do realize it really is oversized lego block, that won’t have enough structural rigidity to withstand severe storms and tornadoes? I really laughed when they just found a new fancy way of saying plastic, “… it is made up of carbon and hydrogen…” 😂😂😂😂 so it’s not a natural hydrocarbon, otherwise it’ll be combustible, so they used polymerisation, hmmm i wonder what we called polymers of hydrocarbons maybe plastic. I have nothing against plastic. But just Don’t like when people use technical jargon to mislead consumer
@@syedhuzaifahassan4588 I agree with you on that. There are materials available for the lock-block design that would work adequately for this use. Just need to be more up front with the make -up of materials.
yes I am interested in your product . I have been in construction in the 1980s and this is a good thing I see. Wish to do business in contracts in the future.
All interesting designs and developments. Only for the plastic ones limited by area not destined for forest areas with forest fires that could melt the plastic buildings.
Polycare is the easiest solution I've seen yet. No mortar or concrete, only some vertical support, is fully insulated, and looks like it can be finished on the outside with stucco and on the inside with plaster. Taking the building back apart I don't see much of a plus. Only catch is that the plant is in Namibia.
SUGGEST: a worksheet to compare costing... without numbers these products are simply fantasy... also needed is not just R factor but humidity trapped within the segments due to seepage and day/night condensation, since humidity directly affects mold formation... a map of North America laying out bands of best fit for insulation profile versus local conditions much as what is available for seed catalogs... thx ... looking forward to numbers

Thanks for sharing your video "free" to me...... I love the ironic bias with which people depict their products when comparing their building products to other products ..... but it is misguided....each building product must be guided from time of concept to finishing, for example building time with cinder blocks or cement blocks as well as any other product like wood, time starts from moment a tree is planted, from the moment the clay for the brick is found, fromt moment the coffee is planted, no coffee, no tusk no nothing, no clay no bricks, no planter no tree, etc etc.... panel building does not start with the panel already fabricated, it starts with everything else before the panel is manufactured...... assembling vs building is not the same.
Thanks for the video can I get any of these systems in the United States, can they be shipped to Oklahoma, can you do a video that tells where to purchase them and the approximate coast per square foot
I would be skeptical about the houses made of carbon blocks or plastic. Carbon nanotubes are no joke for the lungs and plastic full of BPA is not something I'd want to house my family in. I'm interested to see how they overcome these health hurdles.
I bet I could use Wiki-house to build a Hexacube House? Hmmm? And the two cubicles could be made from waste plastic. I could also build an Algeco 2002 House with it.
GREAT, I WANTED TO BUILD EXTRA UNIT MY HOME ON MY PROPERTY WHERE CAN I BUY THOESE MATERIAL FROM RECYCLE BUT GOOD AND DURABLE AND SOUND RESISTANT. SERIOUSLY. I bet It would be cheaper than currently Lumber and metal price....
noboddy care about inovative construction systems for detached housing. It shouldent be a thing. Make a couple of factories. Then make a rail. Then transport the replacable buildingblocks on the rail and build the block next to the rail lifting everything directly from the rail to the block with a lift.
Anything to do with PLASTIC on the outside (roof, wall).. will eventually mean that the rain and weather will beat it down into microplastics, which will go further into the ecosystem. If these blocks are made out of hempcrete, then we have another matter. on our hands... Or am I wrong about this?
Polymer? Is this plastic and concrete mix? If so, please no more plastic. Eventually, plastics from these will end up in the ocean. If this becomes popular, it will increase the nano plastic in water by 2x.
I wonder about the long-term air quality of a home with recycled plastic in the walls. Why would anyone choose to have plastic in their walls when there are healthier, natural options available?

Texas has exemption for owner built and occupied houses in the boondocks. Do whatever you want, if you're killed can't complain to the building dept. Otherwise, the local building department will not allow anything new and different without structural engineering approvals specific to the house plans, and believe me when I say a certified structural engineer won't put his name on anything...even simple stuff, they want $50k..or more.
And why is this? Existing businesses and companies suppressing innovations. Phooey. Things need to change, and not be business as usual. Good bye Lowes and Home Depot! You expensive sobs.
Thank you for the feature!! We appreciate the coverage from your channel.
Great product! Excited to see LokNBlok start being used in the construction industry.
Thank you for these videos. These are encouraging developments. Using plastic waste in building blocks is the best solution so far.
Problem Is unless it is mixed with the proper bonding agents the plastic can off gas and it can be cancergentic
Enjoyed the video and I gave it a Thumbs Up
Thanks for making this clip! Innovation is amazing.
These techniques and composites are totally cool. Thanks!!
That Lok and Blok is much like legos. So many of these are and that's really cool.
You guys always produce great videos with valuable information.
Always top shelf Vids, keep up the good work.
Innovative building and environmentally friendly, when are these ideas coming to Nigeria
Interesting. That Woodpecker system sure looks like a good way to go. Would love to do that.
Uninsulated walls are for tropical climate, the problem is that nothing can't beat the dirt cheap cinder block.
putting blocks aside and making home of them - great Polycare! Now my home have few of ten thousand possibilities to have a heat bridges, nice!
Exceptional recycling and clever means of building structures. Thank you so much for this.

Best of the best😀🥰👌👌👌👏👏👏❤❤❤❤❤❤
I take away many good ideas from these videos👍
Great information . Thanks
I am amazed at all of the different types of products send more
Recycled plastic bottles has my vote! Someday mining the trash piles as well as the oceans and fresh water.
Very cool indeed 😎👍! Thanks 🙏
There is so much interest of wanting these products but it's not available in our country, so sad!

@@syedhuzaifahassan4588 The post tensioning system does provide the needed rigidity.
Would be good for hempcrete systems
Great man never sleep but thanks , I love it, but all these comes with cost, money boy!!!
This video is very good 😎
More vid like this 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Amazing video, thanks
I'd like a closer look at the flooring made with coffee bean hulls and recycled plastic. Decking?
Have you considered using Hemp hurd that is wrapped
With mesh & portland cement.
yes I am interested in your product . I have been in construction in the 1980s and this is a good thing I see. Wish to do business in contracts in the future.
So nice
Can one have such blocks made with hempcrete?
Inquiring for the resistivity from sesmic shock, wind pressure, and price?
What is the R-value of the poly lock, and is there a thermal break in the blocks...
Now we just need a open source home building software to allow for people to design their homes with real life available components.
I'll take Lok-N-Blok as the winner. Easier to run piping and electrical horizontally.
All interesting designs and developments. Only for the plastic ones limited by area not destined for forest areas with forest fires that could melt the plastic buildings.
Good 👍
Groundbreaking building blocks and panels are just around the corner, and have been for the last hundred years! I hope something sticks.
LEGO totally had the right idea, they just had to scale it up 😎🍹
Poly care and Lok N Blok look pretty great to me. Woodpecker is cool to, but not as good in a northern climate.
I keep think about Lego houses with these fit together block systems.
First👍🏽😁

Hi, links are in description below the video. You can find more info there. I'm not affiliated with any of these companies.
Will these stand up to an EF-5 tornado? Flood?

That's great job how can we work in our country in ethiopia
Ok! Now get them approved by your city. Lots of luck.

What are the prices, which is best. Do you know of any homeowners that built their own?

Good video, but doesn't mention the USA does not allow these building methods.
Come to Tanzania.....

You didn't compare costs with the various materials such as lock n' block compared to stud framing.
Can polycare use Sahara desert sand Which is known for beeing unusable for construction?

Where can we find the polycare kit?
Links are in the description of the video. Polycare system is just being introduced so not sure if it's widely available yet.
Can you substitute the insulation with something organic and natural, like wool??
Of course, but it may add to the cost.
