Site prep + foundation
Confirm foundation is level and anchor bolts are placed per the Lok-N-Blok layout plan. Any standard residential foundation — slab, stem wall, or crawl — is compatible.
Seven steps from slab to roof tie-down. A certified two-person crew completes this sequence for a typical single-story residential shell in 3–5 working days. No mortar, no framing nailers, no specialty masonry tools.
Confirm foundation is level and anchor bolts are placed per the Lok-N-Blok layout plan. Any standard residential foundation — slab, stem wall, or crawl — is compatible.
Lay blocks along a chalk line, aligning each block to the foundation anchor bolts. Verify level corner-to-corner. This is the single most important course; every block above inherits its alignment.
Stack blocks course by course. The male-female geometry self-aligns; a rubber mallet seats each block. Repeat to designed wall height.
Throughput: a trained 2-person crew sets a typical wall section in about 90 seconds.
Standard framed bucks drop into pre-sized openings. No specialty trim carpentry. Any off-the-shelf residential window or door unit fits.
Attach and tension the top-plate hardware. This locks every block in the wall permanently and provides anchor points for the roof tie-down. After this step, the wall is a single monolithic structural unit.
Run MEP through factory-routed channels cast into each block. No wall cavity demolition. No drilling through studs. Hours of work vs days.
Tie down the roof structure to the top plate. Finish exterior with stucco, paint, or any cladding. Interior drywall or exposed block per design.
Everything fits in a pickup truck.
