[@markman63]

Nice, steel, concrete and roof tiles. Here in the US people insist on wood walls and tar paper roof tiles, and then they wonder why their houses burn down all the time

[@joeferreira657]

Fantastic,yes been around (light foam)for 15 years. great job,hope you get meany more contracts. they look great.

[@glengibellina4526]

Great build using local materials and labor keep up the good work

[@TebogoMotlhale]

you guys are building Quality Houses, using innovative, affordable and indeed low cost materials, I do Not even want to COUNT hte speed at which you are doing this and other immense savings and benefits coupled to this method of working. Housing is desperately needed in South Africa. So keep it up 😍😍🥰🥰!!

[@themc6281]

Basically; It's so heavy you don't need a foundation... Basically that is. But basically I did see a foundation while writing this. These would be good in New York City seeing how it is a concrete city. Basically that is.

[@brensound9826]

this is basically awesome keep it up guys

[@jackjavan]

What foundation are you using for these houses?

[@rajsingh-hk6hb]

very intligent

[@hzlkelly]

Will use this for my first house.

[@FrustratedBaboon]

If you have a water pipe break inside will you have water stuck inside for days until it seeps out the doors and other small holes ?

[@kbb6279]

Great!

[@rongray4118]

Forget the animosity from those who do not see the simplicity of construction with your manufacturing process. How are the panels being attached one to another? I am highly interested in utilizing this for a small building. Thank you for posting!

[@affanmohammed7595]

can u please tell the proportions of the mix

[@roxyr632]

This is very interesting, please advise on the cost, like around what amount should one budget for? I would really like to know as I live in SA and I’m looking into building at the moment.

[@gdewyg]

Showing price is very important

[@SoniaJbrt]

I would like to know as well what these low cost houses cost to build. I'm also South African. But I have to say I love the traditional Zulu houses, like the one Angus Buchan lives in! That's just so awesome!

[@andrejohnson1488]

Very nice job.

[@boracay12]

New system from 6 years ago . It looks like it has not caught on . I wonder how much cost per standard size panel ?

[@makmosquito8318]

por favor me diz que tipo de massa de enchimento é essa ?.obrigado

[@runtr8389]

not up to code in Australia , no gap between the inner and outer wall, so it's hot in summer and cold and damp in winter ,

[@XenophonHaramis]

What do i do to get a hold of you ?

[@smanuvel]

What is the maximum roof span we can go with this construction.

[@timothykangethe7700]

Great job 👏. Can you build a Townhouse using this method?

[@GiantLinMachinery]

good

[@GeneracionGoshen777]

The usa needs this new ways of building to help the midle class!!

[@PDZ1122]

Not possible with the crappy 2x4 construction industry and the permit mafia in cahoots.

[@matdaniels2498]

This is basically a good video

[@axxoaxx288]

will this kind of steel consstruction will increase heat inside even if we used heat resistant mixture?

[@user-yf6wn5td6p]

vary nice

[@AmishWebmaster]

A great selling point in the USA would be to let people know you are in Beachwood, Ohio. Many will assume you're in Asia somewhere.

[@SoniaJbrt]

Low cost housing here in South Africa. Some are government funded. Actually so easy to build your own home here in South Africa. Just need basic structure from wood, then plaster with mud and put up a grass roof. Then just electrical and plumbing, doors and windows and it's ready for furniture and move in. Because of the climate here in South Africa, a sort of traditional Zulu house is the cheapest and most eco friendly house. Cool in Summer, warm in Winter. But I would first make friends with Zulu people that knows how to build their traditional homes, and hire them and pay them well for the best and most beautiful and eco friendly and cheapest home in South Africa. A well known farmer and evangelist lives in a traditional Zulu house which his friend and him and his family and other volunteers built in one week, after 40 years or so still a beautiful home standing strong. Go to Angus Buchan KZbin channel and see this man's beautiful home.

[@evelynlebepe2399]

Nice work please advise where to find you around gauteng

[@matumelomoagi4342]

Wow iv jst bought a stand & I think this is so cost effective. I jst wonder with our country raining so much, is this type of building strong enough?

[@africainsights9554]

Industry stakeholders in the student housing sector would be keen to know if this can be applied in high rise student housing projects.

[@WW-zc9ge]

Is building panels not expensive?

[@sivakayam9498]

hello sir how full detail construction its possible to constract India

[@joecoolmusic5373]

So basically it's in my recommended videos.

[@pickettmporokoso1540]

Is this technology available for zambia

[@WilsonFitzpatrick-mi7ne]

Great work you guys are doing, how much you charge for such a house?

[@TheLoveBomberz]

Costs?

[@thejaselhoukire7331]

Basically, a job well done! :D

[@dot.li.g3107]

So basically how much does it cost

[@antoniosalvador9754]

this basically nice

[@chriscampbell5823]

Why not just screw herbal to the frame seems to be slow and imagine trying to renovate this example how can you add opening after the building is complete in 20 years

[@shandor2522]

Bravo! Embedding the pipes for electrical wires and possibly water is great! The factory could benefit from cement pumped through a pipe and hose overhead to eliminate the time wasting wheelbarrow. Thanks for progress though!

[@MrKnotWright]

So what about the corrosion of the copper pipes in direct contact with the cement? Seems like you are setting your self up for failure after a few years. PEX piping in the walls might have been a better choice.

[@michaelovitch]

i'm in a 40 years old house with copper pipes going through concrete walls. nothing broke or is corroded. what do you mean ?

[@TheGregWallace]

You are not supposed to allow cooper pipes to be in direct contact with poured concrete.

[@michaelamick8295]

I was a home inspector in the mid south region of USA. I am not familiar of copper corrosion in concrete but very aware of the galvanic electron exchange between copper & galvanized (zinc coated) steel. The isolation of pipes from the frame work when filling the forms looked as possibly some questionable workmanship. I would estimate lifespan of copper pipes as 3-5 years before leaking begins & gets worse over time. Are there any current maintenance reports from these developments available?

[@tomtaylor8462]

Usually applies to wet concrete. If its dry no problems will occur. Basements get the problem your talking about

[@asfahangul]

If it involves concrete walls, its NOT a LOW-COST house. Introduce brick walls, concrete walls or mud bricks of high quality to make them LOW-COST

[@Thoracius]

It's mostly air.

[@handsomejohnjohn]

what country are you in?

[@Ranger_k16]

new drinking game. everytime he say "basically" drink

[@deidrataylor2919]

lol

[@EvolutionAutocrosser]

I was basically thinking the same thing...

[@ditirojimmysegang3009]

hahahaaaa

[@aaronisimphiwengcebo2519]

I also do that alot

[@mohanbania4569]

How much money to build this home.

[@imaladyseries7025]

How much does this cost?

[@jayshreemichael8442]

Looking to extend my home. How do we contact you

[@RIMJANESSOHMALOOG]

George Clarke has changed but still in the business

[@imaladyseries7025]

Can this house be constructed for a client in Ghana?

[@freeman1893]

Please show us more

[@AKlover]

How does it hold up in areas with high humidity and soil shift due toi intense rain followed by long dry periods???? Does the foundation and walls crack if oyu go from intense rain periods to dry periods?

[@patrickeh696]

Why would it? They are not made of mud

[@AKlover]

Cracked slab/foundation. That is why smart people do not buy houses on slabs in Louisiana . 4 months of soaking followed by 3 months of near drought the soil shifts under the house.

[@rongray4118]

Living in the Bayou...wet, wet.

[@geofreymukulu5042]

Is it possible to build a storey house using this format?

[@updated627]

I would also like to know.

[@fulasleoleo471]

send price for angola

[@varunkrishansharma6887]

House cost?

[@Geoff_G]

He basically said the same word ten times in less than 1-1/2 minutes. Basically he overused it. Basically he needs to, basically, find a way to reduce how many times he says the word 'basically'.

[@gabriellaandersen8121]

Hahahahahahaha

[@3bostheadonis]

This is why we have Internet.

[@LisakhanyaHose]

Is this safe??

[@gemechisgudina6959]

Address please

[@stevesanders3992]

what is the fiber used in the mix?

[@2awesome292]

probably fiberglass or something cheaper lol

[@rongray4118]

Basalt fibers are becoming favored to add to mix designs.

[@jimbob-sv1sh]

Asbestos

[@vasymoldovan5844]

Basically everything in mix ha ha

[@douglaspohl1827]

How is the pH 11-12 of Portland cement contacting steel causing chemical corrosion being mitigated? Highly corrosive base chemical active. Not IF but WHEN it finally corrodes and fails. DO you offer a warranty? lol

[@douglaspohl1827]

EVEN AFTER 3 WEEKS there is NO REPLY... GO FIGURE... USER BEWARE!!!

[@dancarlson2717]

What is the insulating value of a complete wall?

[@JamesKyle007007]

Has any one been able to contact OMNI360 i have had no luck at all trying to find out more about these guys

[@lehlogonolopapo3119]

I wish there was a complete building price per house

[@MphaneRamonti]

Hello I need one

[@didymaxi5417]

Bring this project to Rwanda you will make fortune

[@percy832]

What the insulation value of the AAC walls?

[@carlgoranheintz3914]

Unlikely being very good, better in comparison to bricks is possible but nobody just build brickwall without any insulation in the western world (this is africa) but doesnt really help. Perhaps its easy to install insulation inside that though.

[@rongray4118]

Increase the stud size ~ increase the R and U value. Additionally the "mix" contains bubbles and can have beads placed in the admix prior to pouring in the panel.

[@santospadilla8404]

basically and actually!!

[@tlhologeloselapa3043]

Can you build a double storey house with this method?

[@nkosijma]

Yes you can.

[@keerthanaakeerthu9802]

where is this place..............what about the foundation details...please inform me

[@ameerasaays6941]

It is in South Africa, Johannesburg

[@KennethStevenson3]

I wish they would have showed how they put the walls up..

[@rongray4118]

They place the wall panel within a U channeled plate on the deck and screw the panel to the plate...just like steel studs in office buildings...quite easy to accomplish...

[@pointa2b388]

7 years ago?

[@jeyiflosfarms]

basically basically basically actually actually actually

[@lihlelihle7332]

zitholakala kanjani lezizidlu please

[@lsticker1144]

will it be a bullet proof house?? will 9mm pistol could penetrated it?? is it a soundproof too?? please tell me

[@am-fil]

Basically

[@TheStavros1001]

I doubt that foam concrete is going to pass building codes in the US.

[@Tuttomenui]

In this application it might. All the structure strength comes from the steel framework.

[@patrickeh696]

Correct

[@rongray4118]

It is able to pass so long as the panels are sandwiched and anchored on a footing. Minimum standards are ridiculously low. I would advise vertical and horizontal continuous ties as a safety precaution ~ but these buildings can withstand the general forces of seasonal cycles as well as a timber framed building.

[@michaelamick8295]

TheStavros1001, the real issue in the USA would be the thermal bridging of the steel studs coated with plaster. Suitable only for southern california climate.

[@naima6045]

How much does IT cost?

[@PathogenMedia]

I think I understand... basically.

[@tommygringo3871]

he basically, basically does basically the same thing for basically all basic homes ......basically

[@CastilloTallaj]

how does this structure resists earthquakes?

[@VirajTakale]

It won't

[@canmetan670]

Resists like a stack of cards.

[@taliaperkins1389]

If the steel frames are joined to each other with steel, probably fairly well.

[@mrst794]

FYI South Africa does not experience earthquakes. This is in South Africa, Gauteng.

[@relaxingvideoschannelyt]

2019... basically

[@liamviljoen5308]

Basically, the end. ( Entire video in three words )

[@juvyliray5710]

How much

[@jagoyw4320]

mag build naka? :D

[@juvyliray5710]

Hehehe. D pa. .plano palo

[@juvyliray5710]

Plano

[@jagoyw4320]

ahh., mao ba? good. puhon. hhe

[@juvyliray5710]

Hehehe. I hope so

[@lihlelihle7332]

zitholakala kanjani lezizidlu

[@shantel856]

easily broken wall .... wall was strong or not

[@premprakashharidoss6019]

no trees only houses :(

[@megaotstoy]

looks better than original Bantu forty-square-metre houses, but in a nutshell the same sub-economic surrogate...

[@mikepowers4809]

7 times stronger with no explanation

[@ShiftyGearz]

and the u.s. is falling waaaaay behind. the u.s. looking more like how they say a "3rd world" country than the 3rd world countries. wtf man. we the ppl need to make a stand

[@GeneracionGoshen777]

chris gorman agreed 100%

[@Alignedtop]

Biggest problem with all these rdp projects. Too many plots. Too much sprawl. Making the issue worse. Creating terrace style housing would be more similar to the communal environment these communities are used too. It would take up less of a footprint, connections between homes would use less material, have better insulation, possibility of solar panel arrays in a tighter organization. Just bad bad design.

[@aggabus]

25 ton less.= ? %

[@Melldesofia]

A lot of "basicallies" in here...

[@alyssabroussard5284]

Hilarious!

[@manit77]

basically they are basic houses.

[@joracer1]

no way that is cheaper than stick , siding and sheetrock... noway...

[@alyssabroussard5284]

... but cheaper than lego ...

[@subconscious1342]

3D printing is here so...

[@aggabus]

remove basically= mute

[@546cowboy8]

Edison tried building concrete houses and failed over a hundred years ago.

[@warrensabastienanderson]

There are concrete houses worldwide

[@Maisonier]

This is no low cost if includes people working...

[@T0pViralVideos]

ok you can build a house the size of my bedroom in two weeks congrats, could be done with wood studs in two days

[@vikramsingh-dx1ii]

Some are poor , remember

[@alex007thebest]

Cabins for black poor population. You can build anything you want in such of climate. Real houses only on the North, when winter temperatures -20 or more
