Lego Toy-shaped bricks could help construction industry build 80% faster. Concrete bricks are customisable and have been designed to slot together, a company claims they would arrive in the correct size and slot into place. All of the infrastructure would be accessed through removable panels, this means insulation could be adjusted, and pipes accessed easily.
KITE BRICKS IS DEVELOPING A REVOLUTIONARY PRODUCT
One that will change the way we build houses, buildings, bridges and sidewalks. From now on structures will be highly insulated, much stronger, and a lot cheaper.
According to the plans, all of the infrastructure is accessible through patented removable faces on the blocks, meaning insulation can be laid and replaced easily.
‘Bricks are designed to be easily joined together, with open internal spaces for insulation and infrastructure elements to be run through the bricks and allow for easy access to these elements,’ said Kite Bricks.
Smart Brick is a revolutionary brick and the basis of a new construction system covered by issued and pending US patents.
The brick is amenable for building houses, buildings, bridges and more.. The block is constructed of high-strength concrete with unique properties that allow for the building of truly ecological structures, with large savings in electricity expenses associated with seasonal heating and cooling. The block allows for faster, cheaper, more precise, and stronger building than is available through traditional building methods.
Bricks are designed to be easily joined together, with open internal spaces for insulation and infrastructure elements to be run through the bricks and allow for easy access to these elements.Floors, walls, and ceilings are all constructed by appropriate bricks to allow for facile, solid construction with little mess and significantly reduced construction costs.Architects consulted in brick development see a whole new world of possibilities and opportunities with the brick for making inexpensive, revolutionary structures, from single homes to multi-storey towers. ~50% reduction in building costs: controlled room temperatures for significantly lower running costs; virtually no debris at building site; clean and quiet construction; no requirement for scaffolding, as bricks come complete and their attachment does not require mortar or leveling; amenable for building multi-storey structures with ease; no cranes required; for taller structures, elevator on site to take up bricks is enough; no requirement for sand in floor construction-building sand is becoming very expensive as less of it is available in the world.
All of the infrastructure is accessible through patented removable faces on the blocks – thus meaning no more broken floors or walls to get at leaky pipes or frayed cables. Bricks arrive in proper sizes, number and finishes. No additional finishing work is required on the building site.
