Not something I'd tackle & they are having trouble finding a builder
willing to tackle the job as well.

Anyone had ant experience of building one or know of any companies who
do?


Yes, I built a wall light panel with these. I used the plastic strips
available to allow me to seat the blocks on silicone, the strips also
are used between the blocks as spacers. I can't remember the source
after 13 years, but search on line. The strips are about 3ft x 2 in x
1/4 in The blocks sit nicely on the strips, but only use silicone in the
middle to fix the blocks, use acryllic filler to finish off the joints
on the outside. I didn't do this and it was a pig to get the blocks
clean with a golden fleece and a lot of work. Using silicone + acryllic
means any movement is absorbed, so no cracking of blocks or joints. The
plasic strips give the wall rigidity, so no reinforcing is necessary. If
I can do, I'm sure you can!

Just looked up the records, the brand was Speedset, but I have no
record of whom I bought the plastic strips from. Can't trace someone
selling this product at the moment, but newer products of the same type
are around.
