Grid Beam Building System

The Grid Beam Building System Has got to be the best and simplest attempts I have seen at a realistic building system for adults. It's simply some square beams of metal or wood with regularly spaced holes drilled through, and some bolts.

This makes it relatively cheap and easy to manufacture the basic components. Somewhere in this project is the potential for a simple business making and selling kits.

"One of the questions I often get especially from non-builders is why do we drill all the holes in Grid beam if only some of them are used? The answer is, without all of the holes, it has no future. Every traditional machine has a useful lifespan before it is obsolete or worn out. Then it is either buried in the earth or melted and reshaped into more one use stuff. Grid beam is different in that it is extremely repairable and if you do want to take it apart, all the component parts including the Grid beam is ready for a new life solving yet another problem."
