Imagine a world where the ruins of devastation transform into the building blocks of hope. An innovative Australian startup, Mobile Crisis Construction (MCC), has turned this dream into reality by creating the world’s first mobile brick factory that turns rubble from destroyed buildings into LEGO-like bricks.
The machine is a beacon of hope for disaster-stricken areas, providing an immediate and long-term housing solution. Locals can place the rubble from their destroyed homes into this revolutionary machine and within days, they will have thousands of sturdy bricks to rebuild their lives.
Rubble is more than just debris; it’s a symbol of shattered dreams and traumatic experiences. But thanks to Manfred Him and Blake Stacey, the creators of MCC, it now also signifies resilience and recovery.
While disasters may fleetingly capture headlines, MCC has managed to harness the continuous coverage of the war in Ukraine to secure enough funding to propel their project forward.
Hin was moved to action after seeing an image of an elderly woman sitting in front of her demolished house. “It cut deep into my heart,” he admitted in a video produced by MCC. “I knew I could help her.”
The MCC brick factory is not only innovative but also practical. It’s housed inside a shipping container for easy transportation worldwide. The rubble is mixed with cement and clay-like soil, producing bricks without the need for a high-temperature kiln or significant power – it can even run on a generator in areas where the power grid is down.
Each mobile factory costs 120,000 Australian dollars and arrives in Ukraine ready to operate with minimal local input. The bricks produced are LEGO-like, interlocking, and don’t require mortar. If available, rebar can be inserted into the bricks for reinforcement.

MCC plans to kickstart the rebuilding efforts in a safe area near Kyiv, expanding operations as funding allows. Their first project will rebuild several townhouses as a test case.
With unlimited cement, clay, and rubble, one machine can produce up to 8,000 bricks per day – enough to build ten small homes every three days or a schoolhouse.

Stacey, who has spent his entire career around bricks, views this project as a labor of love. “I make bricks, so I do my thing,” he said, tears welling up in his eyes.
