Benex was judged the winning invention on Episode 40 of ABC TV’s The New Inventors program on 5 November. Inventor and Managing Director of Benex Pacific Kerry Bennett explained that the idea to create an easier building method came to him five years ago when as a builder he was continually facing a shortage of skilled workers. Mr Bennett said that the interlocking features of the Benex make it the most simple and accurate building block in the world and it is expected to replace most current forms of wall construction.
