uau how much is the price ?

[aquinobr]

soy brasileño y me gustaría saber si se puede cambiar una parte de la pared para reglar-la se algo mal se suceda con el pasar del tiempo.

[WIRLIEGIGGLE1]

i dont think this is a great way to build based on cost the hardware alone looks like it would bankrupt my build let alone the amount of lumber involved vs a stick built house now a earth block in this shape with a masonary bond aka mortar or a arigated plastic block with a liquid nail bond could be way cheaper n probably chatch on like wild fire !

[thomasuras]

cost per sf? Its ridiculously expensive

[Indygoguy]

It must make an Extremely strong structure. It seems that the walls must be earthquake proof and probably could withstand very strong winds.

fantastic

[petrus945]

permitanme felicitarlos. las preguntas 1- el material ya viene inmunizado?2- costo por metro cuadrado?3- se puede fabricar en otro tipo de madera que no sae el pino

[sloth9669]

whats the ''R'' value in the product.....does not look like that would work with snow.

[rafaelchavez1]

del 1 al 10 les doy un 11 que trabajo tan mas chingon FELICIDADES!!!!!

[wulfra4]

en donde fabrican estos bloks de madera se ve muy bonita la construccion les encargo algunos tips

[TheLiota]

woww ! ca c'est du massif

[sarandorairaj]

a real fire hazard

[Indygoguy]

@sarandorairaj Not at all. It must be much less flammable than a stick constructed house. Houses with Studs burn fast because the space between the outside wall and the inside wall allows air to feed the fire. These walls would not burn fast and fire in one room would not be able to pass through the house anywhere near as fast as in a regular stick frame construction.

EXCELENTE EL VIDEO

[ernestojoseramos]

excelente , el video que envian sobre la construccion de casa con bloques de madera

[Impresioniste]

Its good but i Think you need to much people working. Is similar to walls being made from concrete blocks. I thin it will be more easy with an adesive union. But in general I prefer to buy a general structure ( wood or steel or concrete) in a prefab plant and then begin my own work very prefab.

[BarneySaysHi]

It kinda reminds me of Lego and Meccano. Easy to construct and sturdy nonetheless.

[StopDwar]

i wouldn't even suggest people to use this material for construction because of the fact that i think you will destroy huge number of trees...

[jermoer]

"It is legitimate to think that timber construction accelerates deforestation. It is in fact exactly the opposite. The wood used for the Mecawood brick is not cut out of exotic wood in an uncontrolled way, without taking the equilibrium of the forest into account. It is a type of wood that is certified and is originating from forests that are renewed and managed in a rigorous way."

[1ToNJaB]

should try using recycled plastic or somthing, that would be cool. I'm wondering how long it takes to build 1 of those blocks, looks like a lot of cutting and drilling involved? Are those blocks made by CNC?

[emutiny]

@jermoer almost all lumber produced in the united states is renewed. Seems like a ridiculious idea for a product to me I dont think it will catch on.

[theshadow1932]

Trees are a crop. They grow back. If not for companies such as Werehauser, Georgia Pacific, et. al. we would have LESS trees than we do. And frankly, the things aren't much good anyway, until they're harvested and turned into something useful.

@StopDwar what a silly person you are. If it were to seriously deplete the supply of wood it would become so expensive that no one could afford it and stop using it long before forests became seriously threatened.

[racevws]

How do you run electrical and plumbing?

[jermoer]

Our brick is designed to integrate all the technical sheathing and casing (electricity, heating, water) in a built in and non apparent way.
