Why Block Construction

Home building is about control – control of quality, timelines, budgets and the site.

Building also applies the advantages of consistency, speed and customization as well a material resourcefulness.

A Better Way To Build

It’s a better way to build and there’s no doubt that in the next 5 years we’re going to see a huge shift in how construction is done. It’s how you integrate materials; how much of it is delivered in completed modules versus pieces and elements. There’s less material waste, faster turnaround… it’s a smarter, faster, stronger system.

1. Block House Construction
The high thermal mass of tightly sealed concrete walls, along with insulation, prevents drafting and creates an airtight high-performing, energy-efficient home.
2. Resists Rot, Rust, and Insects
Concrete home construction provides a more durable wall system over wood and steel.
3. Creates Low Maintenance Homes
Concrete construction creates low-maintenance homes with wall systems that hold their shape and integrity for decades.
4. Fire Resistance
Fire-resistant concrete walls more effectively resist damage from fire and limit the spread of flames, compared to wood and steel.
5. Wind Resistance
Concrete construction produces homes that can stand up to the severe winds of a hurricane or tornado.

6. Healthy Homes

Concrete houses provide healthy environments with fewer airborne allergens, molds, and toxins than most wood-frame houses.

7. Produces Excellent Acoustics

The mass and rigidity of concrete more effectively reduces the transmission of unwanted noise and sound in a home more than other building products, like steel and wood.

8. Design Flexibility

Concrete allows architects tremendous flexibility with their designs.

9. Environmentally Friendly

Concrete house construction creates minimal waste because the manufacturer can produce exact amounts of concrete for a project.
