    The best house I ever owned was a 1932 concrete home built by Eastman Kodak in a suburb of Rochester NY. They were built for Kodak managers. The walls and the floors were concrete. It was wonderfully quiet and kept the noise out. The walls were thicker than stick built houses which gave a comforting feeling of solidarity. These houses are still existing and in demand

    In Europe, concrete construction is the norm. Here in the USA and Canada, stick-built is the rule because we have huge forests and wood is environmentally renewable and lends itself to being built however you want it. Stick is increasingly getting more expensive and that’s where a company like Onyx enters the picture. Its revolutionized how homes are made and built and you get the land and the home, which is one less hassle for a lot of people. Thanks for the video! 😊

Then in California we have a huge issue with termites and it's effecting climate change as well so I'm not even sure that wood is the most renewable for us right now not if everything that happens to it needs to be replaced every 20 years or so.

    I live in Kenya, Africa. 99% of our homes are built by stone harnessed by concrete and steel for the pillars and roofs, but done on site. Homes rarely fall unless its due to construction issues. It's interesting that its becoming more popular in the states. Also land is quite affordable, at a really posh estate, for $400,000 you can get a palatial home plus land. In the countryside you can get over 50 acres of land.

    I used to live in a town house. All 50 bathrooms had to be renewed. We found a company that did bathrooms for ships. They mounted tiles, sinks, cupboards and everything in a factory on 3 feet wide steel plates, with all wires, conduits etc on the back. You could do just about any configuration you wanted with different sections of plates. So did you want bathtub, shower, two sinks etc it was just a matter of ordering different sections. It took 1 week to completely remove the old bathroom and one week to install the new bathroom. That was so quick, and except that the floor was raised a bit to make room for plumbing, you would never notice that you just got a steel box installed in the middle of the house. It was much cheaper than regular bathroom, because of the highly reduced manual labour, and that everything was done on an assembly line and as these pre fabricated components.

      While building homes from concrete makes them more resistant to wind than sticks, the biggest advantage to concrete is that termites don't eat it. Building homes from sticks is the most moronic things humans do, unless you live in the extreme north on tundra. Building homes out of termite food in termite infested areas, and then when the house is hollowed out and about to collapse the solution to the problem is to tear down the house and build yet another one out of new termite food! Yes, you guessed correctly that I live in a house made of termite food in a high termite area.

      These houses are like the model T of housing. You can get any color you want, provided it's black. I'd never live in a half a million dollar house that was 6 feet away from my neighbors house. They appear to be 20 unit per acre builds.
      The lack of a diverse exterior appearance while it keeps pricing down, will put a lot of people off for purchase.
      The other issue is that the thin insulation in the concrete doesn't lend it's self to a northern climate.
      Industrial/office buildings use a process known as "Tilt Wall", where they pour a wall laying flat, then once cured, tilt them up. These types of buildings don't have the same type of HVAC loads as a home lived in 24/7. I'd imagine that the walls could be furred out inside, then spray foamed and electrical and plumbing run where required.
      All of the homes shown appear to be placed on a slab. That's fine for areas not subject to flooding. In a flood zone, these buildings are going to have to be built on stilts higher than the highest recording flood.
      Also noticed that the word Master bedroom or Master bath" were used.

    Interesting how they still use drywall on metal studs. Over here, they simply put on a very thick layer of stucco directly onto the concrete. All the pipework is fitted in the concrete itself, sometimes as part of the molding process or afterwards by cutting slots then drywalling over it.

      I suspect they do it that way so you can access the plumbing and electrical if needed. Over the life of a home you usually have to redo the plumbing after thirty years. And electrical wiring if often changed to add new outlets and lighting, or to put audio cables in the walls etc. You can also pound in nails to hang pictures a lot easier in drywall.

    Concrete houses are not as earth quake proof as wood framed houses. So in California (an earth quake area on the pacific rim) all houses are built with wood concrete. Also for concrete houses you may still need a wood frame layer either underneath floor or on top of the wall to allow cables, power wires, pipes and vent system to go through.
    In Australia, Japan, and Philippines most houses are built with wood frame but in Korea and Vietnam houses are built with concrete.

    I have a three story house. Well, it's two stories and a walk out basement. The basement (which I just got insulated and am in the middle of sheetrocking) is on a cinderblock foundation. I LOVE THAT! It's sturdy, which is very important when it comes to climate change. If I were building a house from scratch, it would be from concrete and I wouldn't even be concerned about cost savings. I just think it's better to spend once and never have to worry again.

      @Chutney1luv the West coast is prone to Earthquakes and earthquakes routinely kill thousands of people at a time. Turkey just had one that killed 53,000. Even China had one in December that killed 149 mostly from their non-wood homes collapsing on them. Incredibly (even though the US has high seismic regions) in the last 100 years there was only 1 quake incident where more than 100 people were killed (it was up in Alaska BTW) and the most likely reason we didn't have other huge tragedies (which are common throughout the world) in the lower 48 is because of wooden homes instead of heavy walled homes.
