QUICKBLOCK
SHELTER

Rapid build shelter, 1 door, 2 windows and a roof.

QUICKBLOCK® is a rapid-assembly, cost-effective, and durable building solution crafted from 100% recycled plastic.

Being displaced by conflict or natural disasters from your home is extremely traumatic, then the challenge to find somewhere safe, dry and protected (from the elements) to live can add to this trauma if not found.

The QUICKBLOCK Shelter provides instant shelter to people in need of a home. Stored flat pack and rapidly deployable to any location in the world, it can provide a safe and secure home until a permanent dwelling is available. 

OUR SOLUTIONS

QUICKBLOCK
SHELTER

The QUICKBLOCK Shelter deploys as quickly as a tent but provides greater safety from day one. It can transition into semi-permanent or permanent homes, with options to add roofing, windows, doors and cladding, allowing communities to customise the design to fit local aesthetics.

QUICKBLOCK can be used for a variety of security measures in a humanitarian setting including HVM barriers, vehicle check points and protective infrastructure.

THE QUICKBLOCK SHELTER

HOW DOES IT WORK?

The QUICKBLOCK Shelter has been one of the main motivations for QUICKBLOCK from the beginning and at the heart of what we do for ‘keeping people safe’, so we are delighted to have launched our V1 prototype of the QUICKBLOCK Shelter. 

This shelter has been designed to provide instant safety and shelter for those in need by providing sustainable construction to the hands of everyone, but especially those in need. We are acting on an issue and one day would like every human to feel safe and secure.  

We are delighted to have had the opportunity to install our prototype in Camp Roberts in California. As part of the JIFX (Joint Interagency Field Experimentation) in August 2024, we have been authorised to leave in situ for a year to understand how it bears up against the volatile weather conditions of the desert.

HAVE SOME
QUESTIONS?

Depending on your requirements, QUICKBLOCK can be purchased by the pallet from one of our distribution partners such as B&Q, alternatively, if you have a custom project simply contact our sales team who will be happy to assist you with your plans.

The QUICKBLOCK building system comprises full blocks, half blocks, quarter blocks and capping pieces, every project is unique and therefore requires different quantities of the elements of the system to complete each project, to get an accurate quote for your project please contact our sales team.

The QUICKBLOCK system can be adapted to accommodate most roofing structures, contact our sales team who will be able to guide and advise on the best option for your specific project.

Our standard blocks are not flame retardant and are classed as an ordinary combustible just like wood and fabric however we can add a flame-retardant agent during the manufacturing process at the customers request, If you require your QUICKBLOCK to be flame retardant please speak with our sale team who will be happy to assist you.

Whether you need to infill the blocks with material such as sand or aggregate will depend on the structure you’re building, we also offer rubber block inserts and structural fixing plates our blocks can be modified to meet most requirements so speak with one of the team who will be able to advise on the best solution for you.

Concrete bricks are smaller, so you need more of them, they also require sand, cement, skilled trades people to build it for you and expensive concrete footings not to mention that when it comes time to rip it out, it’s expensive to dispose of concrete. QUICKBLOCK offers a cost-effective solution for people who want to build structures quickly and easily and who may wish to reconfigure or move the structure at a later date.

Currently we offer Olive green and grey as our standard colours, we can offer custom colours at the customer’s request which carry minimum order quantities and slightly more cost per block.

We aim to have orders delivered within 3 working days; this may be slightly longer during busy periods but we will always advise at the time of ordering with us.

At QUICKBLOCK durability is something we take very seriously that’s why we’ve taken steps to ensure our product doesn’t go brittle in the sun. During the manufacturing process we combine a UV stabilising agent with our recycled polypropylene ensuring a long lasting product even in harsh sunlight.

QUICKBLOCK is specially designed to be a temporary construction material that’s ideal for being reused and reconfigured as required and is ideal for building all kinds of temporary to semi-permanent infrastructure from garden planters to workshops and even temporary living spaces. Unfortunately QUICKBLOCK is not certified for permanent dwellings but this is something that may be possible in the future.
