Hello everyone,
After careful consideration, we have decided to build a house using the "Lego" principle. Unfortunately, we have found very few suppliers online (actually only one) that also offer some level of support. It is important to us to always have a contact person available and to have someone present during the wall casting process. So far, we have only been able to find the company Argisol for this.
Do you know of any companies in the northern German region that offer this building method?
When I look at websites like VariantHaus or similar, it seems they only provide the materials, and the builder is then left completely on their own.

If your blocks differ structurally, both statements can indeed be "true." What do they each say about the recommended fill height relative to the top edge of the respective "stage"? It is certain that the blocks differ; there are Neopor ribs in between, plastic ribs, aluminum/metal ribs, and metal baskets over which the Neopor is foam applied.
What do you mean by the fill height of the stage?
I mainly meant that if different filling methods (stages or entire floors) are supposed to be equally reasonable, the two systems being compared must differ in how well the concrete poured at the top, after it has settled downward, redistributes itself laterally within each layer of blocks. In other words, the difference in the structural cross-permeability of the webs must be as significant as the differences in the filling methods.
By filling height per stage, I meant: three layers would be 75 cm (30 inches) high. It wouldn’t be practical to fill them completely full, otherwise the next three-layer stage would rest flatly on top. Therefore, it is recommended to fill only up to 65 cm (26 inches) high, to allow for a 10 cm (4 inches) interlock to the next stage, or up to the top edge of the intermediate webs of the last layer, or up to the bottom edge of the transverse holes in the last layer, etc.? The system developer needs to make a clear statement about this (and probably also document it in the application instructions for type approval). These are differences that should hardly be left to the preference of a hobby builder.

Hello
Since there are different types of bricks, the manufacturer approvals also vary.
In my case (I am currently building myself), the maximum height is 3 meters (10 feet). In the end, we even poured a height of 4.5 meters (15 feet) without any problems.
And YES: it is not (just) as simple as it is often presented.
Best regards from Poland

Hello,
I am currently facing the issue with the Neodur hollow core blocks.
I would be interested to know how red-ed has decided?
Or if there are any new insights.
Since there is still no information available online.
Perhaps PassivLu’s opinion has also changed due to defects or similar issues?

Hello
So, I’m not sure which opinion you mean?!
I don’t live in the house yet.
Just to reassure other interested parties: at least with Euromac2, you are not left alone during the concrete pouring. You receive guidance and a multi-day construction support. Of course, this costs a certain amount.
I would, and probably will, build again with formwork blocks.
Best regards

Thorough training is helpful, and in general, I see the risk of gravel pockets increasing with greater fill height at each "stage." This is a known "issue" with "permanent formwork," which can conceal such defects.
