This seems way better than the 3D printed homes. The tech is similar just faster, it's smaller and has less setup only requiring a single truck, and it's aesthetics are conventional

As a long term shareholder, I’ve enjoyed reading the comments and that FBR are finally getting some decent exposure 💪. Firstly, FBR are about offering simple and affordable housing, and are in existing talks with both Saudi & Mexico.Both we’re released as announcements on ASX, and we have no reason to believe that they aren’t still active. The adhesive is used by European builders, and both Weinerberger and Xella are in MOU agreements with FBR and both announcements were released on the ASX. Once again we have no reason to believe that they aren’t still active. Also the environmental benefits of the HX with minimum waste, able to work 24hrs, will also be a massive selling point. Perth is a very sandy , hot & harsh place in the summer and we are currently experiencing a much cooler wet and windy winter. Please don’t take this as financial advice, it’s just a quick insight into FBR, I’ve held for years and believe this could assist with the worlds lack off housing 😊👍

@Spazwozzler 3 года назад

The houses here in Perth are double brick exterior. The interior is finished with render/plaster and then painted. Utilities are run through the roof space and down into the wall cavity, or the walls are chased if it's an internal wall.

@kcheong00 3 года назад

You can also direct stick plaster using masonry glue. Plasterers don't love using it all the time but don't mind. The biggest issue with the masonry glue is ensuring you stick perfectly flat and plumb. Because the brick wall was precision laid, it should be perfectly flat (in theory, haven't seen the product in practice). You can use smaller dabs of glue to reduce the amount of small humps in the plaster. You don't necessarily have services in all the walls. If so, i'm sure they can use furring channels or have the services chase it into the wall. I highly doubt insulation was added to internal walls, since it is brick which provides are decent amount of insulation. Common practice is plasterboard on the inside. Only in very special cases plaster white set render is used.

@Thevikingcam 3 года назад

This system is a bit fake, there is NO way the bricks just stands without any clueing layer between them, on the bottom and sides. I bet the bricks what the machine did they just removed them and manually, by hand, laid them with plaster etc. Polyurethane isn't too enough to "glue" without filling the inside of those bricks with cement .

Go and buy an apartment in multiple stories building and enjoy noisy neighbors screaming, stomping, dogs barking for any reason, constantly drilling something, drowning your apartment from time to time, close your water, because they repairing leaky tubes, etc. But let people decide for themself if they want to live in their own home, without neighbors behind their wall, having even though small but still a patch of real land that they own, having a garage where they can store their car without sharing a space in parking lot and store instruments and parts they can use to care about it. Earth is big and there's still a LOT of places where people aren't cramped like in Europe, so we still can choose how sparse we want to live. Any choice has its pros and cons and it's up to everyone to decide for themself depending on their situation.

Also ponds were everywhere throughout the neighborhood. This just seems like some hyper individualistic massive personal space but no common space model. It's like a segregated neighborhood. Kids would feel practically imprisoned, because they can't go anywhere due everything being so far apart. My parents were contemplating moving to Australia, New zeeland or canada when i was a kid. I'm glad that we didn't end up leaving the Netherlands for one of these kind of soulless neighborhoods.

3% is actually super low vacancy and includes housing that is between occupants, empty for renovations, dilapidated, etc. Building more housing helps raise the vacancy rate, and lower rent prices. More vacancy gives renters more power in negotiations with landlords, too, and it helps people find places that they want to live in easier and with fewer roommates.

A quick search says it costs $1.5M. Construction equipment of that price would cost around $2K-$3K to rent per day. In the video it says that it finished the house in under 4 days. I think what is important is the potential for improvement in the future.
