Mobile Crisis Construction (MCC) was created to address the humanitarian need globally of communities rebuilding following natural disasters and war. We accelerate a return to normality by deploying mobile brick factories to crush building rubble and be pressed into interlocking bricks for the rapid rebuilding of shelter and critical infrastructure.
MCC was conceived in 2019 by engineers Nic Matich and Blake Stacey, as there was no existing viable solution to allow communities to rebuild quickly following a disaster. The containerised brick factory was designed, and soon after, Alexandra joined the team and succeeded in registering the charity and obtaining MCC’s endorsement as a deductible gift recipient, which allows donations to be deductible from a donor’s income tax as certified by the Australian Taxation Office. Grant subsequently joined in 2024 to further MCC’s cause and, in doing so, brought a wealth of experience in charitable organisations to the team.
MCC’s vision is to grow to the point where multiple mobile brick factories are procured and on standby to be rapidly deployed post disaster to anywhere in the world. At this point we can meet our stated goal of Deploy, Engage, Repurpose and Rebuild.
What makes MCC different is to the best of our knowledge, there are no other charitable organisations globally whose sole focus is utilising rubble from disasters and repurposing it into bricks. In addition, the mobility of the factories means we can access small and remote communities easily. By consultation with and training of the affected communities, they regain a sense of purpose and control of their destiny by rebuilding their lives.
Utilising decades of experience across engineering, law, and international aid. MCC’s core team of volunteers have built the organisation from the ground up.
From the technology needed for rapid response, to the engagement of international charities, see the team behind MCC here.
Whilst MCC’s focus is currently squarely on our rebuilding efforts in Ukraine, we see a future where we can respond to crises throughout the world, such as Gaza and Syria.
With sufficient donations to fund multiple mobile brick factories on standby, MCC could have been in a position to promptly respond to recent disasters such as the Myanmar earthquake, the Vanuatu earthquake, and the Tongan Tsunami of 2022.
MCC is non-denominational and not affiliated with any political entities or doctrines. As such MCC is able to provide mobile factories to any communities devastated by large-scale disasters anywhere in the world.
Mobile Crisis Construction (MCC) exists to accelerate a return to normality in disaster zones by deploying mobile brick factories that crush rubble to be pressed into recycled, interlocking bricks for the rapid rebuilding of shelter and critical infrastructure.
