Revolutionizing The Building Industry!

Long before we conceived LokBlok, we were concerned with environmentally friendly, energy-efficient construction. We wanted to find a way for ordinary people here and in countries around the world to quickly and inexpensively create buildings that would meet their needs and be strong and durable, yet not deplete scarce natural resources.  If we could do that, the benefits would be enormous. Our approach was to modify the humble concrete block. Yeas of experimentation and testing gradually resulted in the fundamental changes in the material,  shape and design that have given the LokBlok system the features we wanted:

• Ideal for a variety of building designs and sizes, retaining walls, foundations, and sound barriers.
• Mortarless construction is inexpensive, quick, and easy.
• Interlocking design makes structures strong and durable.
• Can be used with envelope construction.
• Very high insulation factor without adding insulation material
• Soundproof, waterproof, vermin-proof, high richter-level earthquake resistance.
• Partitions within blocks align to provide channels for running utilities.
• Blocks and internal utility components can be disassembled and reused elsewhere.
• Blocks can be made locally at temporarily erected molding plants, further reducing transportation and materials cost.
• Rubble from devastation or demolition can be crushed and used to make new blocks.

With LoBlok, communities can use their own resources to rebuild infrastructure after a disaster. People in developing countries can similarly build new communities. Even private individuals can soon obtain the blocks from authorized resellers for their home improvement projects. On December 8th 2006, we applied for an US Patent four our design and system. On November 11th 2007 we entered a PCT application that allows us entry into International countries where we want to file an application and obtain a patent from their country. We had to file numerous responses to US Patent Office to satisfy their investigation. Almost five years and thousands of dollars later, on February 8th 2011, we received our US Patent Certification number 7,882,674.
