I think it would be fun to build a hut/shed/workspace kind of building from these type of concrete lego blocks. Should be possible to leave gaps for the windows. Biggest question right now is how to make a roof? Preferrably with some kind of prefab components since I have no building experience at all.
Also, the blocks I found for sale locally are 80x80x160 cm and cost 80 eurodollars. That means I can stack 3 to get to a reasonable height of 2.4m. It would imply you can build, say, a (almost) 5m long and 2.4m high wall for 720 euros. Would you say that is a good price for a load-bearing wall of that size, or is this retardedly expensive?
Lastly, anyone ever seen these used for something other than open-air storage units for sand and shit?

This company makes fabric roofings which they even combine with just these concrete blocks

Although something a bit more isolating than a literal tent would be nice.

You can get a complete metal shed of that size for less than the cost of one wall. Probably close to the price of one from IPOR or other cheapo blocks, too.

If you look the bricks have a slight arch, won't fall unless some bricks get knocked out by something.

The ones in the OP are huge, expensive, wasteful and you need a machine to lift them.

Instead people use CMU https://youtu.be/Qfw679NHSAs

another retard question then
why not make them smaller ? cost efficiency ?
my biggest fear is that i will lie these bolocks in vid rel in a way that will make them bent
that's why i am scared of laying bricks, altho i am thinking of working as brick layer (whatever it's called in english)
lego like bricks would give better guidlines

From your pic I’m assuming you’re Dutch too, wondering how you’re going to stack those 2400kg blocks since you can’t forklift stack them, and how you’re going to keep them from sinking.

Also they are a huge big cold bridge/reservoir so a space heater won’t cut it and it’ll be freezing unless you isolate the inside.

> roof
Make one side a bit higher, nail/bolt 2x4”s along the top and put some corrugated metal sheet.

> other uses
People built a temporary church out of them once in Enschede. Also used as anti-vehicle barriers like in >>2010825 and to keep people from falling/driving into canals during road works

The benefits of the arch is taken away by the weight resting on the beams though?

Sure the beams will last a long time but still.

>> No.2014168

>>2011930
Uniblocks, M6 blocks and profiled concrete blocks are popular in South America and Eastern Europe but for skilled masons it’s easier to have at least one flat side so they can build any shape they need instead of just straight walls.

Also solid anything is a good heat conductor, hollow blocks offer better insulation

Do not reply to this poster. He is obviously a German building a pillbox in an Frenchman's back yard.
