Concrete Homes

[semco72057]

In America some of the builders are offering steel framed homes where the roofs are stronger in hurricanes, and so are the walls. The walls are made of man made materials and stand up to storms fairly well. many banks here in smaller cities are doing the same thing and the buildings are very sturdy. I like the idea they are using, but would also want a sturdy roof as well.

Regarding the graphics. Only a small point, however, but with this type of modelling software, the viewer doesn't need to see the ENTIRE house; every nut an bolt placed and not at the same pace either, or with the same music. To keep their attention may I suggest you show a few key areas and once they have the general idea of how the panels are assembled, speed the rest up substantially. In addition change the music to something the viewer can recognise and assimilate to. Thank-you.

WTF lol

[abbathefreeze]

we build houses like that in the 50`s here in in holland.now whe use prefab concrete sections made in the factory with everything in it(isolation power sockets the whole lot).

[webnothing]

I wonder if it is possible to use a small form and do the walls in sections. It would take longer, but then you'd have lots of expansion joints which is good. I always wanted to build a concrete home, i think it would come out to be cheaper and a lot better in the long term.

For the people arguing here, please do it somewhere else. There are probably lots of good comments that could be made but instead you waste space arguing.

Primitive way of house building !!! Nothing new only stupid !

Americans just do not know how to build house

[cabritorsss]

Maybe you're right. But, we can build airplanes, transplant organs, land on the moon, go to the bottom of the sea, have over 500 television channels, eat daily, have air conditioning and heat throughout our homes, educate our chilfren and help your sorry ass's out huh?

[aqayax]

Of course you can with large amounts of money...and scientists from europe and other parts of the world.

(dirty)Money is all that USA have and no you are NOT helping my ass.

[cabritorsss]

Ah, er, boy...you should rean a "free world" newsapaper. You have all of the wrong propaganda being fed to you...

America and russian got techonolgy for jet planes and rockets from they Germans after WWII. The person who designed the Saturn Rockets was an ex nazi officer captured by the Americans. What America rocks at is its entertainment industry. You guys rock at that.

Btw alot of medical break throughs are really shared among countries like America, Britain, Australia, Canada

What an awsome concept!! I bet that these are way more energy efficiant. How do you put in things like electrical wiring and plumbing?

[frizura]

Chases. You put in electrical chases. The plumbing goes in the internal walls. Its against building codes to put plumbing into exterier walls. If you want to build concrete homes, check out the ICF option. Better yet, check out the SIP homes. Let me know if you are really interested, and I will give you more options/build you one if you want.

[ARMOROID5000]

sweet! I'm not planning to actualy build one anytime soon, but I think the technology is awsome!! I think combining it with other technologies such as power production and waste reduction and reprocessing to create a self sufficiant unit is the wave ofthe future!

[mjonausk]

I don't think I would like one of these in an earthquake zone. Everything else is sweet

[guitarobsessed85]

make it 2 floors and that's what I want
