Construction Secrets You Will Regret Not Knowing 

Yeah, I was wondering the same. The plastic is going to become brittle over time and it looks like the design is intended to leave a small gap between the rows to add mortar. I'd give a brick wall deisgned with this maybe 15 years before it begins to lose integrity. Sure, you have minimal brick loss when you tear it down. But the cost of materials is bound to be higher in the long run than traditional brick and mortar methods. The example given is for a facade. A fake outer wall so it needs to be attached to the house. Which makes me think it isn't even intended to ever be a load bearing structure. It is pure cosmetic with limited application at best.

Join the wobbly wall club! It's the latest trend in home décor.

Looks like you've unintentionally created a bug metropolis! Time to call the exterminator?

Yup.

Plus cold air, water, ice damage....

As settling occurs due to weather, temperature changes, moisture and ground movement, random bricks will fracture and crack... creating and causing... You decide.

Exactly what I was thinking !

Maybe the shaking was just the wall doing a little dance to celebrate its uniqueness!

Good for a facade nothing structural

It turns a brick wall into a cosmetic breathable skin. The plastic parts guarantee collapse in a fire and will have a life of maybe 25 years due to ozone.

I thought the same - fine for a dwarf wall in a garden perhaps but a none-waterproof house wall held together by loose-fit plastic is probably as much use as it sounds.

Thank you for highlighting the various benefits of mortar in brickwork. It's amazing how something seemingly simple plays such a crucial role.

Mortar does another thing, it helps to level the brick out. Brick are not made perfectly flat or square.

What happens when the metal and plastic bits in the first story disintegrate? Everything disintegrates, though I have seen brick and mortar centuries old. Planned obsolescence on a brick wall? Sheesh!

Thats the old way of doing things this Is the new and better way.

They probably cosmetic. Looks a lil flimsy

Thank you for pointing out the benefits of bricks and concrete, I appreciate your insight!

Or normal mortared bricks...

just what I was thinking, or freezing water, bugs getting in the joints.

You add a layer of cement between them even if using the facade-click

Good. I have 5 houses and will spend less money on builders in the future if I want to have more houses.

Have to come up with new jobs or no one can pay rent. But then the new jobs will be done by robots and no one can pay rent. Yer stuck with property tax

It's definitely a topic that sparks a lot of debate about the future of work and automation.

California earthquakes, the ultimate quality test for bricks!

I had to give the video a thumbs down just because that was the product they started with. No, just no.

Looks like the game changed until 14:00, then it changed again to a whole new level of "screwed"!

you can change to a better payed profession. this robot gives you the last push to do it. also robots need software maintanance etc. ( that is part of my work ). most money every month i get from dividend not from working.

Brick and Mortar ! What about the plastic degrading and Falling apart !

The robot tech and the concentration of wealth required to implement it raise the question of why societies exist. Is our purpose to render ourselves obsolete? I don't think so. But for wealthy totalitarians who want to own everything, that's their utopia. And then comes the population reduction "to save the planet." You are the carbon they want to reduce.

No, this robot would be way too expensive to use on a construction site. Plus the high dust and debris from the site itself is going to get into this things joints. There is a reason why it is shown just putting in panels in a clean lab. As soon as you have to modify the size of your materials and add the dust and particles from the cuts, this thing is toast.

James May, of Top Gear fame made a house, with a lot of help of course, out of Lego. The complete record of the build is on RU-vid. Don't know if I'd want to live in it. I expect the plastic would make the air highly toxic.

I honestly don't think this product is rated for load bearring. I think it is only intended for cosmetic applications. Like covering over aged store front properties.

Leg days making brick walls look sturdy in comparison!

Robot carpenters: the future of flawless woodworking!

@@FruityTech how very selective the wood will have to be? Have you ever been to a lumber yard ? And what size homes can you build with this robot ,. Chicken coop size lol . Transport ??

Thanks for highlighting the importance of a good rain screen on the cavity wall. It's crucial for the durability of the structure.

Wow, that's crazy about the micro plastic particles! Thanks for the heads up about polystyrene too.

Micro plastic particles that sit on the ground quickly get covered with soil and sit there harmlessly.

Maaaateeee...look what you've made me do. You've dead set, set me off talking about polystyrene and buildings. _______________ WAFFLE PODS _______________ Look up waffle pod floor slab construction. A LOT of polystyrene is used....a LOT!. I don't like waffle pods. The land has to be near perfectly flat. The land around the house has to slop away from the slab and pipes exiting the waffle pod are almost never plugged correctly by plumbers, all leading to issues with water getting under the slab and causing it to uplift. Waffle pods require a lot more site preparation compared to a full concrete slab and the upkeep of the land around the house needs to be constantly maintained to stop water getting under the waffle pods. Also, not enough weight is in the slab when a big storm comes through to keep you house planted to the ground and so the house gets lifted, maybe not so much that you notice it in real time but you'll notice it when you find cracks in your walls. Also, site remediation when the building is demolished. All of that polystyrene has to go somewhere. Too many issues with them to be viable in my opinion but they are used extensively around Australia and the problem is, that people who construct new homes are not experts and so allow the builders to dictate how the construction will be done. _________________________________________ BUILDING CONSTRUCTION INSPECTORS. _________________________________________ Consumers fall into the trap of believing the Builder is an expert and has their best interests at hand but the Builder's focus is their profit motive and if that profit is being impacted by good building practices. Obviously, the profit motive wins because without it, they're a broke Builder. So the construction is done at the Builder's convenience, to maximise their profit, not give you a product that matches the price you have paid for it. Part of this profit motive and lack of proper oversight by independent Inspectors leads to neglectful work practices because If you walk onto any building site in Australia, you are almost certain to find a first or second year Apprentice doing unsupervised work that is mandated to be carried out by a Tradesperson or directly supervised by a Tradesperson. IE: The Tradesperson has to be physically present and watching and instructing while the job is being done. Not wandering off to have a crap in the site's port-a-loo for 30 minutes, as they scroll through their phone and then come back to check the work. It's a joke. (Which reminds me...if you can, go and find the movie called, "Kenny". it's a bloke who installs port a loos and cleans out septic tanks for a job....One of the best lines in the movie as he sticks his head out of a sewerage tank, "Oh, the smell in there will out live religion". Not the greatest movie but worth a few laughs) If you want to see first hand the absolute crap building work that is going in Australia right now, go and look at the channel called, "Site inspections". This very low quality of work has been allowed to propagate through out Australia because Builders have been allowed to influence owners to select the Inspector of the Builder's choice and the drama if the owner doesn't use the Builder's recommended Inspector. The Builder will try and dictate to the Inspector when they can and can't come on site. That the Inspector can't take video or photos. They need to have someone with them at all times. Anything to distract and make that Inspector's job difficult. Where as before, all housing inspectors were employed by the Government and the builder or owner never had a say who was coming out to do the inspection. This means the inspectors were never beholden to anyone for their income and so were highly independent and generally insisted on quality work throughout. That's not to say that there weren't a few bad Inspectors being intimidated and/or taking bribes to let faults be overlooked but because of the random nature of Inspector assignment at different stages of the build, the old faults were usually picked up and this led to investigations as to why the fault was not noted at an earlier phase of the building phase. This weeded out a lot of dodgy Inspectors very quickly or if it was a genuine oversight through a gap in knowledge, additional training provided to fill that gap, making for a more knowledgeable and supported Inspector. Thankfully, due to the avalanche of complaints, the Government has made changes to inspection protocols and this will hopefully force builders to always build to the relevant Australian standards. I don't think the changes go far enough. They're just patching up a very leaky system that has been created by the Government outsource building inspections. What should happen is all the Inspectors should return to being employees of the Government. Then as before, the Inspector is assigned jobs on a first come first served basis...the taxi rank protocol and there's zero tolerance for job refusal or job swapping. Refusal or job swapping = instant, mandatory dismissal and out of the office in 10 minutes or less or the Police are called to arrest you for trespass. The dismissed Inspector can plead their case at the Fair Work Ombudsman for unfair dismissal if they have a genuine and compelling reason for the job refusal or job swapping. That approach will clean up the industry beautifully.

@@paulbriggs3072 No, microplastics do not sit on the ground and get quickly covered by soil and sit there harmlessly. Microplastics are everywhere. In your food, in your water. Oh, you drink bottled water only...guess where the vast majority of that water is coming from...not out of some untouched spring high in some remote mountain but more likely the same water plant that your tap water comes from and research has shown that the filters at water plants are not always able to filter out microplastics and the same stands for any filters you have installed at home. In Australia, where I'm from. There's more stringent requirements on tap water than bottled water. So the idea that you're getting cleaner water from store bought is clearly marketing bullshit. Fucking criminal lies, actually. So you may want to consider editing your comment.

And if we get rid of oil you got no plastics anyway ! I guess we can use sand and build out of glass!

Thank you so much!

Thank you for sharing your insights! Mortar sounds like a practical solution.

Great questions! It's amazing how technology is advancing in the construction industry.

Maybe we can teach the robots to do stand-up comedy instead of taking our jobs!

Maybe Facadeclick needs an umbrella and raincoat to keep out the damp and rain!
