5 Innovative BUILDING SYSTEMS for your future house #1

hi and welcome to cool gadgets and stuff there are many ways to go about building your new home building technologies continuously improve along with the growing need for cheap and efficient construction choosing a construction system is one of the key decisions when building a new home and in today's video we'll explore some innovative building systems that offer an alternative to conventional stick or brick built homes [Music] insulated concrete forms or ICF's for short is a system of frameworks for reinforced concrete made with rigid thermal insulation that stays in place as a permanent interior or exterior layer these interlocking modules are dry stacked and filled with concrete the two insulated phases of a block are separated by some type of connector units locked together similar to Lego bricks and create a form for the structural wall of a building the result is a cast in place concrete wall that is sandwiched between two layers of insulation material ICF systems are strong and energy efficient traditional finishes are applied to the interior and exterior faces so the building looks no different from other types of construction with panels available in a number of shapes sizes and concrete core thickness any design can be created including curved walls panels can be shipped compacted and then assembled onto frameworks on sites units have an interlocking design that allows the forms to stack and lock together to form a uniform cast and prevent improper alignment special units for corners floors and roof assemblies improve the engineering of the system and energy efficiency of the final construction the blocks and panels also feature integral nailing strips for attaching interior and exterior finishes and the ability to let in mechanical runs such as wiring and plumbing without cutting into the concrete core reinforced steel bars or rebars are placed inside the forms before the concrete is poured to give it flexural strength once the forms are in place and rebars installed concrete is pumped into the forms forms are filled at an appropriate rate to prevent misalignment and blowouts ICF's provide benefits to builders and homeowners such as disaster and fire resistance energy efficiency ease of construction and faster build times [Music] autoclaved aerated concrete also known as air Cree is green building material made from natural raw materials like sand cement lime and gypsum as binders and aluminum as an aerating agent it is poured into large molds and steam cured and autoclaves during production to complete the strengthening chemical reaction this lightweight product provides structure insulation and fire resistance all in one product the AIRC reef building system by air creature up is a modular and complete building system that offers a fast and efficient build the system consists of standard sized panels of different use such as floor panels load-bearing wall panels roof panels partition panels cladding panels and lentils precise product dimensions ease of handling and lightweight materials contribute to a faster build time and a reduction in the use of installation materials and labor the lightweight load-bearing structure and the high compressive strength of the panel's make it well-suited for earthquakes and hurricanes prone areas panels also have embedded steel reinforcement for additional strength the super smooth surface of the panels allows for a quick finish as the walls are ready for direct painting besides all elements and air creep building systems provide good thermal and sound insulation performance air creat products meet the highest requirements of Building Standards offering a wide range of innovative efficient durable and sustainable solutions for works of any size [Music] superior walls offers a precast concrete panel system that offers an alternative to traditional foundation methods typically used for basement foundation but can also be used in above grade walls and multi-level concrete walls panels are custom designed and built to provide warm dry basements for homeowners made in a factory where high-strength concrete is integrated with an insulated steel frame they arrive at the jobsite ready to install with insulation and stunning integrated into the wall trained crews install and permanently secure the foundation on a bed of crushed stone so no need for poured foundation solid concrete studs provide support as does a built in concrete footer that rests on clean crushed stone panels are joined together by stainless steel bolts and sealed with a special sealant installation typically takes less than a day and can be completed even in adverse weather conditions backfilling can begin as soon as the floor is poured and the subfloor is properly attached to the top of the wall system rapid installation time allows builders to begin construction on the home the same day steel studs eliminate the need for additional wood framing prior to interior finishing the company offers several configurations of the system to best suit your needs [Music] Spyder tie is a concrete forming system designed for just about any concrete wall application such as retaining walls concrete homes pools roofs etc this system creates a temporary framework by which you attach your plywood using screws to hold it in place while the concrete is being poured once the concrete is cured you simply unscrew the plywood sheets which may be used again for future projects Spyder ties are webbed so the concrete flows through them providing a solid monolithic concrete wall this framework also holds rebars perfectly in place without having to use tie wire there is also a slot to hold insulation in place less labor is required as well because the heaviest part of this system is a single sheet of plywood the amount of Spyder ties for an average sized house can easily fit in the back of a pickup this construction system allows for an affordable and easy way to build concrete walls of any shape thickness and size it can also be used as a form of concrete roof along with a concrete home in a major storm the first casualty of a home is usually its roof spider tie makes it possible to clad any surface with concrete the point being that if the roof is tied together with the walls then the home is far more likely to survive storms without much damage spider tight roof system works with just about any masonry wall after the concrete is cured the plywood can be left on to give you a surface to nail your roofing to or removed if using lightweight cellular concrete that will allow you to nail roofing directly into it once it's all done you'll have a beautiful home that can withstand whatever nature throws its way whether it be tornadoes hurricanes or wildfires this next building system combines the strength of reinforced concrete with many qualities of natural mineralized wood ISO Tex is a would creep building system comprised of cement bonded wood fibre blocks and floor slabs with an additional graphite polystyrene rigid foam insulation added ISO Tec system is highly resistant to fire and moisture with excellent thermal qualities these blocks are dry stacked and then filled in with concrete to create a high load-bearing wall structure construction is simple no skilled trades are required its cost-effective and fast raw finish makes it ideal for internal or external finishes blocks are produced from recycled untreated wood from sawmill scrap and recycled pallets subjected to strict quality control iso TEKsystems meets all the regulations concerning seismic safety and the acoustic and thermal insulation the result is an energy-efficient house with lower heating and cooling costs throughout the entire year the company offers a complete kit of blocks for your build as well as comprehensive training and support and already claims over four hundred thousand builds worldwide thanks for watching and let us know your opinion down in the comments part two on building systems is also in the works so stay tuned bye for now
