Advantages of building with concrete

Concrete homes offer powerful advantages to homeowners compared to “stick-built” homes.

Why Concrete?

  • The thermal mass of the walls and the tight seals at joints enable concrete homes to excel at keeping conditioned air in and extreme temperatures out. Concrete homes provide up to 30-50% savings in electricity and utility expenses.

  • Concrete is a barrier to rain and floor water, unlike traditional wood which absorbs water and deteriorates.

  • Concrete homes typically cost 22% - 72% less to insure than traditional wood-frame homes.

  • Concrete is non-combustible; therefore, in the event of a house fire, concrete does not burn and does not facilitate the spread of fire.

  • Concrete homes can withstand damaging winds and flying debris better than wood-frame homes.

  • Concrete houses have a building life expectancy of centuries. Concrete is not organic so it offers resistance to pests, mold, and dry rot.

  • The construction process can be completed approximately 60 days from slab pour to completion.
