Why a concrete homes so expensive? Its literally the easiest and cheapest way to build a house

Check out Auscrete ASCK on the OTC. They sucked donkey balls for a long time, many reverse splits but if they ever get their shit together they'd be awesome.

that's 5 words

This. Have you ever had to pay for concrete delivery and finishers? It is expensive as fuck let alone trying to build a house out of it. Wood framing and plywood is cheaper and easier.

They don't want you to live in a virtual bunker.

Stone and mortar is the best material to build a house out of, literally lasts centuries. Then you just throw up a roof with a wood frame and slap some drywall and insulation on the inside and you're all set. Save the concrete for your bunker in case of ATF siege, and don't forget an escape tunnel!

Lmao have you ever been to Europe? Concrete houses are the standard there. Unlike amerimutts they don't have their houses blown away when a little wind comes around

This sort of design looks suited for a nice outdoor restroom.. Like at a popular well funded park, Disney World, some shit like that. You can just imagine urinals recessed into those walls and hand sensor minimalist sinks.

a portal level, kek

It's not the cheapest or easiest though. Timber frame with timber cladding is. Concrere and rebar are much more expensive than timber, plus formwork, contractor that knows what they're doing, haulage costs are much higher due to the weight and volume of materials required.

Based on what?
Do you actually know what's involved in steel reinforced concrete?

Wouldn't a concrete house have incredible acoustics? Imagine playing an instrument in OP's pic

>Cheapest and easiest

It's not, timber frames with rendered plasterboard and a tin roof is way cheaper and easier

>Lmao have you ever been to Europe? Concrete houses are the standard there.
Maybe in your post-soviet shithole, but first world European houses are brick, not concrete.

>Its literally the easiest
confirmed for never having built anything ever

No. It would be echoey as fuck.

I’ve been working in concrete since I was 15, and building a concrete house is my ultimate goal if link really moons.

The best would be a tilt up concrete house where you pour the walls on the ground and lift them into place when they’re cured. You can do all kinds of cool architectural finishes with tilt up, and it would be like a fortress.

This. Shit looks so smooth there had to be a specific method to get it to look like that. Also modern architecture en general is expensive, it’s “art”

>and it would be like a fortress.
No retard, it would shatter the second anyone took a sledgehammer to the wall. You've never even touched concrete in your life holy shit.

>spill any liquid
>slip and bust head open
>gonna need TWO advils

Seems like it would be hard to heat a place like that.

Yes. Exile on Main Street was recorded in an old nazi bunker.

eh, they actually build lots of warehouses and industrial buildings like that here in Canada, and you absolutely would not be able to break them with a sledgehammer. They might crack if you drove a car into them, but even then that's debateable and you would probably need heavy machinery like an excavator to actually break one.
I dont do concrete, but I've worked on shitloads of buildings built exactly like he described, and they're really sturdy and well insulated (there's usually some sort of composite insulating core in the panels).

I think they're kind of ugly unfinished, but with some flashing/siding/faux stone veneer/etc it could look nice.

The soviet shit only looks so bad because they've never heard of a pressure washer.

>Its literally the easiest and cheapest way to build a house
for starters, it's not. for seconds, that house has architectural jizz written all over it and thus it is more expensive. for thirdzies, look at all the stupid angles and custom doors, retarded glass, stupid as fuck trendy death-trap stairs, that all costs. lastly, why in the fuck would anyone ever want to live in a soul-sucking concrete prison like that?

Yes. They had air pollution problems on a level americans will never understand.

Norway & sweden build in wood.

>fortress
>windows
pick one

>they don't have their houses blown away when a little wind comes around
I would pay good money to see the look of abject horror on some eurofag's face if they ever saw a tornado in the distance.

Fun fact I used to pump these with concrete for 12+hours a day

Breaking a thin layer of concrete is incredibly tiresome. If you add a steel armature it's almost unbreakable because the wall will not collapse no matter how big a hole you do.

A full house of naked concrete is kind of depressing though unless you add a lot of wood and plants, it looks good as a bathroom though.
