So it needs special adhesive, special bricks, special maintenance (Whats the lifespan on that internal saw if you have a lot of corners?) and it's only for the inner walls? What is the value proposition here?

It's backbreaking work and there's a labor shortage

It's frequently done by nonprofessionals with some oversight. Usually the future owners. At least over here in central EU.

Ceilings, roof, plumbing, electrical wiring, facade are way more trouble.

Glue is getting popular anyway.

It seems hard to think that in 20 years all those issues won't be better (it will be able to do other types of walls, windows, integrate plumbing, etc.)

The "special bricks/adhesive" also doesnt seem to be a huge deal at scale. Every type of construction has its own speciality equipment (there are drills just for drywall, just for concrete, just for glass etc.)

> it needs special adhesive

Masonry adhesives are common

> special bricks

Where does it say that? The specs just say "blocks up to 600mm x 400mm x 300mm."

> Whats the lifespan on that internal saw

The blade or the saw? According to the marketing it "allows for quick change out of parts"
